My 14 year old had a brilliant time, he thought that the instructors were really helpful and kind and he enjoyed every minute. I couldn’t recommend this school more highly - The ratios work well and they are in the water earlier - would not use any other school in Bude.

A top quality session, we were both completely stoked to get such helpful individual advice and feedback which is what we were really aiming for. We learnt some really helpful tips on popping up, timing and position on the board as well as learning more about reading the surf and the tides. We were left with the thought "why didn't we have this lesson sooner". Cyril's coaching technique and interpersonal skills were excellent - we'll be back again next year to try and build on what we learnt. Thanks very much BBSS.

We wanted to create a holiday memory learning to surf, and that’s exactly what got. The instructors were amazing and so supportive and we had so much time in the sea. We all managed to catch a wave and we’re now hooked! Thank you big blue surf school, I would recommend everyone to book in with you! 🤙🏻
