What Our Clients Say!
I did a group surf lesson today with my friend and we both had the best time! There was 4 people in our group lesson including us. Our instructor Max was really easy to follow, friendly, informative and kept the morale high! We had an awesome helper Frank who leant an extra pair of hands for our lesson.
The conditions weren’t the best (super windy, choppy and cloudy) but we still managed to have such a fun time & actually surfed some baby waves. Would recommend.

On our family holiday in Devon, and we feel so lucky to have found Walking on Waves!
We booked one family lesson (2 adults, 8 and 4 year old) and we’re now on our third lesson. Toby is a fabulous teacher – patient and funny, and has made the lessons brilliant for us all – particularly for our 8 year old who is enjoying it so much. Thanks to all the team – we hope to be back next summer 🙂

We had a great time with ‘Walking on Waves.’ We love to surf but only get down there a few times a year, so there’s always room for improvement. Sarah is friendly and helpful on the phone and organised our group visit. We were very much a mixed age and ability group.
Tom and George were excellent teachers, managing to find time to teach all individually, looking after the younger kids as well as teaching us older ones. We all felt like we had gained a lot after our two hours in the Saunton surf and have learned things we can take with us. I would definitely recommend ‘Walking on waves.’

Had the best time at this surf school. It couldn’t have been a more encouraging and inclusive environment. My 74 year old Dad desperate to try surfing and he was up and standing in no time with everyone cheering him on.
All very unintimidating. I went with him and my sister (who went last year and loved it).I was nervous having only had 1 terrible lesson in Australia where I couldn’t even stand but i was up on my board really quickly. I learnt loads and will definitely be back. All the instructors really patient, but also push you a bit and are really good teachers. Loved it!

Jimmy taught my son (6) for his first surf lesson. He was excellent. Very patient, personable, excellent at explaining everything surf related and also very safety conscious. He also was excellent at handling eight million questions from an over exuberant six year old!
My son was made up at how great his session was and hasn’t stopped talking about it since! Fantastic experience. The equipment supplied was of high quality and we had all the winter extras included. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to start surfing.

Walking on waves, is without a doubt the best Surf School in the UK. I started surfing here at a young age, started group sessions with Max and then started sessions with Jack.
Jack is an extremely good surfer, with an arsenal of knowledge. If you are ever at Saunton sands beach and want to learn how to surf, or are even experienced and want to gain a better knowledge base and surf experience, look no further. Best in the UK for all the good reasons. Don’t take my word for it, try it yourself! But just be cautious, it will be one of the best days of your life and you will be hooked from the first wave!! Stay safe, keep shredding!
