Testimonials
Thank you to the guys at Croyde Surf Academy. My first experience of surfing and my instructor Sadie made me feel welcome right from the start. I was a little apprehensive as I had never surfed before but Sadie explained everything so clearly by the time I entered the water I was relaxed and happy. I will definitely be back to carry on where I left off.
Croyde Surf Academy were brilliant right from the start. It was raining when we turned up but the instructor was enthusiastic from the word go and got the kids excited which was important for me as it was all for them. A perfect day out and we are now all hooked.
JUST BRILLIANT … As a hen group we all expected to go surfing, splash around for a while having fun. And that’s exactly what the instructors did made the experience fun but also they were really professional and got all of us standing which was not expected by any of us. Thank you!! ,
I had a private 1-1 course with Sadie as I felt my surfing had hit a wall after having lessons about 5 years ago. Sadie asked me about my surfing over the phone and had a game plan ready for when I turned up. I progressed so much over the 2 days I am now excited again about surfing, can’t say enough to thank the team at Croyde Surf Academy.
