Surf school directory
With the rise in popularity of surfing over the last decade, the choice of surf schools has gone from literally 5 in the south west to well over 30, offering surf lessons on most life guarded beaches in Cornwall and Devon.

Having a surf lesson is a great way to learn to surf quickly and is also loads of fun. Not all of us have the luxury of living near the beach, so if you find that your time in the surf is limited, then learning from the experts is a good way to go.
The ollypop is a great complement to your surf lessons. In between sessions you can practice the vitally important pop-up in the privacy of your own surroundings, and then go back for another lesson to put your pop-ups to the test under the guidance of a qualified instructor.
Of course, many of you will choose to teach yourself to surf, in which case the ollypop will still help speed up your progress. But if you don't have the privilige of time, there is no better way to learn to surf quickly than to take a surf lesson or few.
Below is our own directory of surf schools.
