The sport is one of the very few that depends almost whole heartedly on 'mother nature'. As an individual, you could be the fittest, most dynamic surfer, but without a storm out at sea, there will be no waves or surf.

At Saltburn Surf School not only do we coach in the physical elements of the sport and have had a great success rate in the past, but we also teach you the fundamentals. We pride ourselves in the fact that when you complete a lesson you will have the knowledge of how and why waves occur and will have some understanding of the natural processes of weather and sea. Saltburn Surf School still remains the only BSA* approved school in the east coast region.

In this ever busy world that we live and work in, surfing can be 'escapism'. Whether you treat yourself to a lesson or give a lesson as a gift to someone else, from our experience it will be money well spent. So have a lesson by yourself or with a group and look forward to enjoying the fun and exhileration of riding your very own wave.

In the past years the Surf School has been used by schools, youth inclusion projects, youth groups and numerous individuals and we are hoping that the relationships formed with these existing customers will remain. We also hope that our past successes will encourage more schools and youth groups to utilise us. This year, however, we are hoping to widen the spectrum by inviting corporate groups to take advantage of a sport which provides a great environment for team building and reinforcement of working relationships already formed.

Separate female and male changing rooms and shower facilities are now fully operational for Surf School use throughout the year. They are also available for use by general surfing public from May to October and weekends through the winter. The changing rooms are free to use, however, contributions towards running costs are welcome via the honesty box situated within. A hot shower costs 20 pence. Lockers are free but require a £1 deposit.
