North Devon Surf School

Introduction to North Devon Surf School

Our partner surf school in North Devon runs surf lessons, surfing courses Croyde Bay and Saunton Sands. Established in 1996, 2011 is our 16th year as the premier surfing centre providing surf lessons in the UK for all levels including 'learn to surf' beginner surfing lessons. Our North Devon surf school is proud to be the first surf school to be awarded the highest level attainable status by the British Surfing Association.

The North Devon surfing beaches and surf school are the closest in the southwest to London, the Midlands and the north of England. Travel time from London to Croyde, Devon is 3-4 hours by car and we are only 45 to 60 minutes from the M5, much closer than surf beaches in Cornwall. Croyde Bay in North Devon is renowned as one of the best and most consistent surf beaches in the UK.

Based in Croyde Bay, Devon, our experience and reputation has ensured that we are the only surf school officially permitted to instruct surfing on both Croyde Bay and Saunton Sands. This means we have satisfied the stringent conditions imposed by the beach owners to ensure that we operate safely and professionally. We have fully equipped surf schools on both beaches.

Whether you want to catch your first wave, take your surfing to the next level or improve competition skills, we have been the UK’s leading providers since 1996. Visit us and share our passion for surfing!
