“Top Surfing Lessons at The Big Green Surf School !!!!”

Reviewed 21 May 2012

I seriously couldn't recommend The Big Green Surf School enough.... ive been surfing for 3 years and not progressed at all, ive had a few lessons at different surf schools and none came anywhere close to the quality of Dale's lesson. Within 2 hours Dale had corrected all of my bad habits and i was progressing nicely to the bottom... More

“Fantastic Tuition!”

Reviewed 7 May 2012

Really top notch tuition by instructor Dale. His attention to detail is brilliant i was standing up fully in 3 days and even progressed onto doing a perfect board headstand into the beach on my last day. Can't reccomend these guys enough. They also run Base surflodge which is an awesome place to stay! More

“Came away feeling chuffed!”

Reviewed 9 November 2011

If you’re thinking of getting surf lessons make this your first and only stop. Previous lessons with other surf schools have given me only modest progress at best, but under Dale’s expert tuition I made a huge amount of progress, with which I’m really pleased. Useful too are the theory lessons and video analysis. Its all very relaxed and you’re... More

Reviewed 27 September 2011

This is a great surf school. We have tried different surfing schools but Dale who runs this one is very experienced and patient. We had proper coaching in and out of the water. We're both older surfers, and thought we just couldn't do it but Dale showed us a good way of getting up and improving our surfing. We had... More
