A group of 4 of us ranging in ages from 46 to 11 had a learn to surf lesson with Robin and his team on Widemouth beach last Monday.
We all had a great time and true to his word we all actually stood up on a board and surfed!
Robin even gave our 11 year old some one on one tuition whilst the group were being taught by one of the other team members.
Highly recommended. We did it early in the week so we knew whether we wanted to surf or bodyboard for the rest of our holiday.
On the Thursday 6 of us aging from 46 to 10 had a Coasteering lesson where we met Robin and the team in Bossiney Cove. This is a glorious place which we would never have found without Robin.
Coasteering is one of the best things I have ever done! It is fantastic fun and we swam through narrow gaps in the rocks, into a cave and jumped off the cliffs into the sea. Robin had 3 team members with him, he was guiding, 2 of the others had lifeguarding aids and there was also someone with a full length rescue surfboard. It was very well organised. After we had finished I saw another group starting their coasteering and they only had 2 staff for a similar size group (8) and did not have the rescue board. In comparison Robin's approach to safety seems much better.
We had a 10 year old girl in the group and she had a brilliant time and even got ferried between the obstacles on the rescue board when the swimming got too much for her!
I had to add people to both of our original bookings and this was no problem at all for Robin.
I highly recommend Freewave Surf Academy they really produced some of the highlights of our holiday and the nice thing is that neither surfing or coasteering are weather dependant, if it rains it doesn't matter.
Thank you for a great lesson this week and especially for being so attentive to my 10 year old son. He had a fantastic time and came out of the water buzzing and ready for more! Well organised, friendly staff - highly recommended.
We had the best time. The teachers were fantastic and were especially great with our 11 year old. He basically one to one and was almost standing on the board by the end, which meant we also got to enjoy the lesson without worrying about him. The teachers were also great with us they taught you the basics and were in the sea to help but also let you get on with it and the fact I was catching waves and standing up on the board at the end was the icing on the cake. Fantastic afternoon.thanks guys we will be recommending you to everyone
Robin, Puffs & Pia were all super friendly, knowledgeable, patient & attentive with me and my 10 yr old daughter!
If you want to learn to surf in safe hand, let these guys help you!
Hopefully bump into you again when I've got my own board and am back down in Cornwall guys!
Freewave was recommended to us, and we were not disappointed. Very easy to book in advance via website.Robin quick to respond & very helpful. Family new to surfing, 12 yr, 16 yr boys & 2, 45 yr+ parents!!!. Puffs was our instructor, she took us out on 'Big Thursday', very large waves!, but we were all standing up & had so much confidence in Puffs' tuition. We came in exhausted but ready for our next lesson in a few days time. Second lesson was just as good, so much so we went back for a third. All equipment supplied, good wetsuits-stayed warm, great expertise - Thank you Puffs. We will be back, 16 yr old wants to do more, 'Amazing' - hoping next Summer if not before. Thank you Robin & Puffs.
Highlight of the holiday. Robin and Puff were great instructors, always encouraging and relaxed. Water was warm in the wetsuit and my daughter and I felt completely safe under their watch full care. Booking was easy with a quick chat with Robin. Will definitely be back for more.
