Adaptive Surf
Our multi-award-winning adaptive surf programme is at the centre of our surf school. ​​We wound up taking over South Beach Surf School after running a disability surf school for 5 years and needing a larger space for our adaptive equipment and facilities. Adaptive surf is a key element to our community surf school and the thing that keeps us coming back year on year.
We run a variety of adaptive sessions to meet the needs of most people who want to surf with us. For any adaptive sessions you will be asked to fill out a PEN portrait when booking. We encourage you to give us as much detail as you can to make surfing a safe and enjoyable experience. You are welcome to check out our adaptive equipment and facilities before booking a lesson.

One-to-one Adaptive Surf
For anybody who needs a quiet session or closely focussed support in the water. Named 'one-to-one' but suitable to book for people who need higher levels of support e.g. at least 4 water supports needed when using the seated board.

Surf Physio
For people who are recovering from an injury or illness that has impacted their ability to take part in sport. Working alongside neuro and musculoskeletal physiotherapists, we use surfing as a tool to rehabilitate function. Suitable for people who surfed before their injury or illness or complete beginners.
Adaptive Competition
An annual competition for adaptive surfers which invites many people to compete for the first time. Our competition offers categories which include people with cognitive disabilities, as we felt this was an area seriously lacking in surfing.
