Activity description

You don't normally associate Wales with surf, yet in Pembrokeshire, you can find great breaks for you to become a master of the tide!

Beginner surfing lessons are a great way for you to learn the basics of surfing. These lessons aim to help you develop an understanding of how to catch a wave, stand up and be safe in the sea. If you already have basic knowledge, then the improver surf lessons will teach you more advanced skills so you can move on from catching white water to catching green waves, improving techniques and surfing different types of waves.

Beginner surf lessons focus on teaching you the basics of surfing and having a fun time in the ocean. In order for you to get the most out of your lesson, Big Blue Experience keeps groups limited to 6-8 people per instructor. The theoretical and practical aspects taught throughout the lessons will provide you with an opportunity to improve your basic skills.

Trust the expert team to guide you, as they will take you to the best daily spots, depending on your surf level, weather forecast, and tides. You’ll also be able to see and discover the amazing sights that nature offers on the way to the surf spot.

Beginner surf lessons are the ideal option for those of you who want to make the most out of your time on the island. You will receive professional guidance and lessons from the instructors, helping you achieve better results faster. The main focus for a beginner is to be comfortable enough with themselves on the board in the ocean and for them to manage to surf the waves without falling off.

Had a terrific surf session with laid-back teaching last week. The appropriate equipment was offered. We were able to understand the fundamentals of surfing after developing an early understanding of how to be in the water and combining it with being in the water.
