I booked Harlyn Surf School for our school surf camp 2011 (43 kids aged 8 - 11, and 7 adults. I got quotes from lots of surf providers first, and not only were Harlyn very competetive, they could also offer all the certificates and qualifications needed in order to keep primary aged children safe.

As a bloke, in my late 50's, and deeply afraid of the sea, (I am not a strong swimmer), I was very hesitant, even about booking, but Henry reckoned he could have me standing on the board by the end of session one ..... a man with considerable faith, I thought!   Henry’s careful instruction was clear, helpful and encouraging....

The second, not so positive.... More

After several emails with Chris Rea, we booked lessons as a group of friends for weekend activities. Chris was very helpful in recommending other places to visit and places to stay nearby and was excellent in helping and accommodating a late change in numbers and requirements.
