Private Lessons & Tours
Private lessons are available and can be booked to your convenience. Starting from £40 per person and getting cheaper the more people in your group you can find the details here.
​
We occasionally do tours exploring the bays, coves and caves between Sandhaven Beach down to Marsden but because we can only run these when the conditions are right (light winds and no waves) so best to drop us a message at info@southshieldsurf.co.uk to see when a tour is likely to go out. Tours are normally charged at £25 per person if a public group or we can do a tour on a private lesson if the conditions are right.
How a typical lesson will go
After we’ve done introductions and issued out equipment and you’ve got into your wetsuit:
1. Go through some beach and water safety points.
2. Have a quick warm up and then get used to the water by jumping in the sea.
3. Give a demonstration and explanation of catching waves and surfing on the
beach including:
4. We then get into the water, showing you the best ways through the surf or how to
improve on what you already do.
5. Then we’ll catch some waves!
6. Once you have the hang of catching the waves we will exit the water and learn
how to stand up with a quick beach demonstration. If you’re improving we use
this opportunity to give more directed feedback and demonstrations for your
surfing.
7. Then we’ll help you to correct your technique and catch more waves.
​
Lessons normally last 2 hours and includes all equipment, you just need yourselves, swimwear, a towel and some warm clothing for afterwards.
The minimum age for surf lessons is 6.
