Surf South West Appear in the Sunday Times:

"I booked with Surf South West, one of the UK's top surf schools. Darren Burrett and his team could teach a mongoose to surf and, under the eye of hunky Will, I caught my first wave, all the way in to the shore and standing on two feet. The adrenaline rush was awesome." - Emma Parker Bowles.

We have just got back from a few days in North Devon, and while we were there managed to fit in a couple of surf lessons at your school. We had never surfed before, and your courses were a great introduction. As a result were both hooked and are looking forward to coming back and surfing some more. Thanks to our instructors who gave us loads of their time and much needed advice.
