Welcome to the Surfing for Schools page. This Surf and Learn package is Unique to Global Boarders.

What's included?

1. Eight (extendable to twelve) surf sessions with all equipment and transport to and from the beach facilitated by our British Surfing Association registered Surf Instructors who are also RLSS Lifeguards and cleared by the Criminal Records Bureau.

2. An environmental workshop hosted at the school by Surfers Against Sewage. The SAS talks have proven to be both interactive and informative for all ages. The talks inform the audience on a broad range of issues including water quality, chemicals in the water course, the hazards of shipping to our coast, climate change, marine litter and much more. As with all of SAS's campaigns they identify the problems, back up their concerns with science and then promote the sustainable achievable solutions.

Also on this session a Global Boarders Instructor will do a surf workshop which covers everything from:
i) how waves are formed
ii) how to read weather charts
iii) safety in the water and surf etiquette
iv) how to spot rips
v) how to purchase the best type of equipment for the different levels of surfer.

3. A BSA log book to record the surfing level attained - the instructors will assess this weekly.

4. A BSA certificate to suit the appropriate proficiency attained.

How does it work?

An ideal scenario is for us to work with groups of minimum 8 and maximum 10 pupils per instructor. This way each class is small [and safe] and we can transport 8 children at any one time.

We would need them to be accompanied by 1 extra adult if there are more than 8 children - this could be a teacher or a parent. If this is not possible we can help organise other cover from Global Boarders staff.

Dates: After school from the beginning of the summer term up until the summer holidays. You choose which day.

Times: 3.30 - 6.30

Prices: £15 per session, dropping to £12 if all twelve sessions are prepaid. As we are Ofsted registered, 80% of the cost of these sessions is reclaimable via Child Tax Credits.

How many sessions: 8 surf sessions per child, with a further four on offer after that. One SAS environmental workshop / surf workshop is included (hopefully on a wet weather day!).
