When you stand up on your first wave it is the uncontrollable, throw your hands in the air and scream feeling, if only for a few seconds!! Once you can ride a wave, it is the undeniable urge to go back for more, and when you are on the beach and the sun is shining it is enormous fun!! Learn to surf...the only way you can really understand what all the fuss is about is to get some gear and get wet!! That’s where we can help. « less

Being a local to Boscombe I was aware of the two surf schools in the area, after speaking to a few of my surfer mates I decided to go with Surf Steps as they appeared to have a fantastic reputation. I wasn't let down! I initially went for the £25 Sunday special deal, what a bargain, and after that decided... More

Been there a few times always helpful and friendly. If the surf is calm you can always paddle board too. The practice sessions are good value. Tip : Always best to ring in low season and check when they are open and what times the sessions are. More

The lessons were a good value for money. The staff was very helpful (they even had to rescue a few stranded swimmers). All in all a good experience. More

Location is easy to find but takes us 20 mins walk from the pier. We booked 2hr beginner lesson on a Monday morning and not many people in the group. Instructor is friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommended for everyone and it's really for anyone :) More

We had a beginners lesson with Bournemouth surf school and it was excellent. The tuition was easy to follow and short enough to not get boring. The tutor was friendly and knowledgeable and focused on exactly what we needed to know... ie safety and technique. We both sort of got up on the board after only 2 hours and had... More
