I went and took a lesson with a load of mates on a stag do, having no previous experience of surfing. Dale was a legend, and a very good teacher. Good value for money too

I recently has a surf lesson with Dale from the Big Green Surf School and it was the most amazing experience. I have never surfed before and was very apprehensive as I am not massively sporty or very good at balancing but went with my good friend for her birthday.

This was the second time that we have stayed here and we will definitely be going back! The guys at the hostel and surf school are easy going and make it an enjoyable stay. The hostel is very clean with good facilities, and is in a good location for the beach and the town. See you again soon!

I have been twice to stay and surf at the green base surf lodge and had 5 lessons over a week with the head coach. Excellent fun if there's a group of you going, lessons adapted to all levels no matter who's in the group. Highly recommend the surf school and hostel!

I had two lessons with Dale in the freezing March waters! I had very little experience surfing and he was a fantastic instructor, giving very clear steps to help me to stand and then giving constant encouragement and specific points to help me improve. His advice and positive feedback enabled me to stand by the end of the lesson and... More

In June 2011 my girlfriend and I came to Newquay and Big Green Surf School for two weeks of surfing with only little experience. By the end of our stay, I was catching unbroken waves outback. I've since been back twice (last time in September 2012) and hope to return again soon. This should already tell you how satisfied we... More
