“Ben's 'superfly' surf clinic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2012

I have been to Ben's surf clinic a couple of times now and can safely say in the words of Curtis Mayfield these guys are 'superfly'! Whatever your level of surfing is the lessons are a cut above any other and I know many people who believe the same. You may have had a lesson before or maybe you are... More

“Great surf coaching”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2012

Excellent coaching and very positive approach. Didn't push beginners beyond what they were comfortable with and helped better surfers improve their edge. Highly recommended. More

I spent a great weekend in February in Lahinch at one of the intensive courses run by Ben and his team. I had been on two surf holidays prior to this but I hadn’t made all that much progress and was starting to get a bit frustrated. Two days in Lahinch sorted that!! The lessons were great – the guys...

Id an awesome time with the guys. I have had surf lessons in the past but the classes had too many people and not enough instructors! Bens surf clinic was the opposite, small classes and plenty of instructors. I had two lessons and really noticed a big improvement, Silly mistakes Ive been making for years were spotted straight away and... More

These guys are brilliant! I’ve been surfing for around 5 years. Ben coached me at the start and then I've been going back to him from time to time ever since.
