Would highly recommend Raven Surf School after our recent trip to Bude. Incredibly friendly and looked after our group of 13 really well on our stag party.

The coaching given was really good,... More

We were in a small group seperated into beginners and improvers. Our instructor, Bryn was fantastic. Everything was clear, simple and most of all FUN,... More

We all enjoyed the two private lessons that Mike gave us on the Monday and Tuesday of May Bank Holiday weekend 2011. The adults among us have all had a hand in coaching of some kind(football and kayaking) and we appreciated the excellent tuition and the quality time that Mike spent with each of us individually. We were a very... More

We met the instructor at Widemouth Bay which is a lovely beach about 5 mins from Bude and you can park and watch the surf lesson from the car My daughter really enjoyed the lesson - there was a choice of boards and the instructor gave individual tuition to all participants during the session
