Amazing Outfit What a lovely, experienced, helpful and friendly team. Relaxed, supportive and professional. Detailed tuition (person centered and tailored to individual needs, even within group session). So much on the ball that I may have come away without my driving license, if it wasn't for such a comprehensive understanding of exactly what was what. A caring approach evident. I wouldn't say the water was warm, but for later September in shorts and t shirt this was also a pleasure. Thank you very much Stoked. I certainly was. See you next year. ❤️🙏

Fantastic and well run surf school I had a fantastic experience with Stoked. I was a nervous complete beginner, the whole team were really friendly and immediately made me feel welcome and at ease. I wasn’t sure visiting in September if their lessons would be running but they were incredibly accommodating and moved me around to suit wherever I needed with lots of people still taking lessons at this time of year. Could not recommend Julian, Fraser and the whole team enough.

Surfing Lesson I had my first ever surfing lesson with my 10 year old son who has Autism which means he finds the feel of a wet suit really difficult/ uncomfortable. The team allowed us to feel the wet suits and have some choice in which one he wore. The took time to explain everything to him and to make him feel fully included. The weather was not on our side but the lesson still went ahead and the group were all nice people. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a surfing lesson.

Outstanding We had such a great experience with Stoked Surf School! Me and my siblings had a private lesson with Holly who was super friendly and enthusiastic. Despite never having surfed before, all three of us were able to stand up on the boards by the end of the lesson. We will definitely be back!!
