Prerequisites Previous surf experience - beginner lesson or personal practice. Basic understanding of surfing fundamentals. We mostly teach those aged 8+. Please let us know if you intend to bring a younger child, so we can agree if the session will be suitable. Why Choose Us?

We love to tailor our sessions and coaching based on your skills and experience, and focus on fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere to make your surfing… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Personalised surf coaching, tailored to your goals and experience. Equipment (surfboard and wetsuit, or bring your own). Expert guidance on improving skills. Fun and encouraging atmosphere. ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point. ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Who can learn to surf? In theory, anyone and everyone who can swim regardless of age. We tend to teach people from age 8 upwards. If you are younger and keen speak to us first before booking so we can advise if a surf lesson is feasible for your age. A decent level of fitness will help, but you don’t have to turn pro to enjoy surfing – the best surfer is the one having the most fun, even if that involves falling off a few times! If you’re interested, give it a go… ### What experience do I need to have? For this session, we expect you to have some prior surfing experience. You by no means need to be a pro, but you should have knowledge of surfing fundamentals and be able to comfortably go from prone to standing on your board. You will need to be able to swim and feel fairly confident in the water. We use 50m as a good distance people should be able to comfortably swim before learning to surf. We do offer beginner lessons, as well as more advanced lessons. Take a look at the options at the bottom of this page, to select the best session for you. ### What equipment do I need to bring? If you have your own board and wetsuit, bring them with you. If you don’t, suitable ones will be provided. You should bring a towel and swimsuit to wear underneath the wetsuit. Sunscreen and a warm top for after your surf are also not a bad idea, and possibly a bottle of water and small snack for when you’re done, as you can use up a lot of energy in the water. ### When and where does surf coaching take place? Lessons can be arranged for any time or day of the week, subject to availability. If you don’t see a time or date which suits you, just send the adventuro team a message in the online chat, and they will help to facilitate and alternative date which works for you and us. We are based in Porthcawl, but teach down the South Wales coastline. We’d generally go to the beach with the best conditions for your ability at the time of your lesson – we go where the waves are! The main beaches we use are: Rest Bay, Coney (Sandy Bay), Aberavon, and Southerndown. ### I would like to do this lesson with a bigger group, not just two of us. Is this possible? Absolutely! We love working with groups, too.
