family days out

IN CROYDE, NORTH DEVON

Found in Croyde through the pasty and ice cream shop you find “Surfing Croyde Bay”. Been coming for a few years now in two trips each October with the family and then “boys only”. You find Damian and Jake (and other instructors) who very patiently and skillfully run you through the board, the sea and fun. It’s a very well run surfing place with changing rooms and hot showers. A quick walk to the beach and they help you pick the waves and gain time on the board and once up how to make turns etc. I’m a beginner! Just can’t say enough good things about this surf school staff and facilities and I have been to a few. Very sensibly priced and so easy going.
