Beginners in the London Surf Club
We as a club try to help those who want improve as much as possible.
This is done in several ways:
- On general surf trips we will put you in cars with members who might be better than you, who will push you and take you out of your comfort zone, as we feel that is the best way to get you to the next level.
- We run Surf Clinics for small groups of club members using trained BSA surf instructors either from surf schools or from within the club.
Our philosophy is that the more you surf the more you will improve. Going to the coast as much as possible, rather than just talking about it, is the best way.
If you have never surfed / want to try it out to see what it's like / had one class a year ago in Australia / or any other similar slant on this, then we are NOT for you.
The best thing to do is to go to Newquay for a weekend, have at least two surf lessons with a school, and then decide if you want to spend the £300 - £400 to buy all the kit you need. Ideally buy the kit down there, where there are loads of shops.
