"Learning to surf can be quite a daunting experience, so when we first decided to learn we chose to have lessons with one of Newquay's well know surf schools. Reef surf school has BSA approved instructors and the school is open 12 months of the year. They also have the reef surf hostel that you can stay at the lodge and have surf lessons for a special package deal such as £49. The hostel comprises of flat screen tvs and cd players to make you feel at home. The lodge has many facilities including a bar that has special events and DJ's and they serve good food. The hostel can be found at Reef 10 - 12 Berry Road telephone number 01637 879058. This number will also put you through to the surf centre.
The reef surf centre is right on the Great Western beach at the centre of Newquay and also has a beach café overlooking the surf.
We found the surf lessons great and everyone was standing by the end of the first lesson, we were taught safety and practiced getting up on a board on the beach to start with.
Surf lesson prices vary and a half day course is £25 –this includes tuition and equipment. There are also full day courses, weekend courses and six day courses.
We learnt loads during our surf lessons and we also had a great time staying at the lodge – but I was ready to go home and recover – I never realised surfing was so tiring."
