#1 On Tripadvisor for ‘Outdoor Activities in Bude’!

If you are in the Bude area and want to give surfing a try, give Robin a shout… I’ve been the last 2 years with my 11 yo son and found the Freewave team personable, knowledgeable and (best of all) able to get us surfing! Really like the approach taken, great experience and will be returning!

Had two lessons during half term with my daughter. Instructors really friendly and enthusiastic. Warm up yoga entertaining (for anyone watching my attempts!). Equipment good. Added bonus is the location – one of my favourite spots in the southwest.

Great surfing with 14 yr old daughter, Tripadvisor

A group of 4 of us ranging in ages from 46 to 11 had a learn to surf lesson with Robin and his team on Widemouth beach last Monday. We all had a great time and true to his word we all actually stood up on a board and surfed!

We had a group surf lesson for 12 excited hens! It was a brilliant couple of hours, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Robin

Hen Party Fun!!!!, Tripadvisor

My son (18) had 2 private surfing lessons with Charlie. He absolutely loved them and learned and improved so much. He described one of the days as ‘one of the best days of my life.’ That is high praise indeed considering he travels all over the world taking part in many different sporting activities.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding Fun, Tripadvisor

Fantastic surf school with friendly, fun and knowledgeable instructors. Engaged with surfers immediately and offered a fun warm-up and surfer involved stretches. Clear instructions, excellent for beginners with step-by-step lesson.
