Level: Beginner/beginner plus session and for those that have been before but want to practice their skills and build confidence or perhaps try an alternative board from our Yonder collection. These sessions are a gentle introduction into surfing, fun safe and small groups for personalised tuition, They are a chance to meet likeminded women and surf in a supportive environment.

We will cover the very basics of surfing and getting to understand the formation of waves and positioning on the board. We will learn the basics of how to read waves, paddle for them and begin to learn to get to catch waves and the process of getting to your feet. If you have already had sessions with me or elsewhere, this session could work as a recap or a chance to develop your technique and to work on catching waves at the appropriate time and standing up. At the beginning of the session we may body surf (depending on conditions) as this is an incredibly useful tool for learning about the formation and structure of waves.

Please note that unless the conditions permit otherwise (small clean unbroken waves) we are likely to remain in the whitewater for these sessions. Ideal for beginners.

Staying safe - to enable those that come on our sessions to be more independent surfers we will always cover basic sea safety and ocean confidence.

Small group sizes 1:6

Duration 2 hours - wetsuit and board included but I will need to know suit sizes before the day.

WHERE TO MEET: At the Yonder van opposite the Grand Hotel on Grand Parade, Tynemouth. The Yonder white Sprinter van is parked by the top of the ramp down to Tynemouth Longsands.

WHAT DO YOU NEED: Just bring yourself, a towel and a swimming costume, everything else is provided. We have thick quality suits! Please let me know as soon as possible your wetsuit size if you would like to use a school one. (8,10,12,14,16,18 etc.) I have boots and gloves if needed but with the warmer weather it is better without!

I always aim to run sessions when the surf is appropriate for the lesson type but I cannot always guarantee that conditions won’t change, I aim to keep you informed.

I look forward to surfing with you soon, any further questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Cancellation policy: I only cancel sessions if the surf is unsafe or not suitable to the session though I cannot always predict this. If I cancel a session a full refund will be issued. I cannot refund when a client cancels unless I am able to replace them on the session with at least 48 hours notice. I always try very hard to do this but last minute cancellations will not be refunded.————————————————————————————————————————————————-
