WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"The best afternoon in the sea ive ever had" - Olly from Norwich
"Amazing!!!!! Thank you so very much Glide Surf School 🏄♂️😍 the most fabulous experience for my sons 8th birthday. You certainly made his day. Duncan was truly amazing with the boys. Such great fun. Can not recommend you highly enough. See you again soon, we will definitely be back.. "
"Had a really fun group lesson about a month ago. Teachers were really friendly and the setup is welcoming to solo women who want to take part (very important!). Would recommend a lesson as soon as Glide Surf are able to continue operating again, and wish the team all good things for the next month. See you on the other side. ."
"What a great morning! I have never tried paddle boarding before but had a great time today. Everything you need is provided and the instructors are really helpful. A great way to pass a few hours and I know that I would love to get the chance to visit again. Make sure you check it out if you are nearby. If you have any questions, the staff are more than happy to help assist."
We definitely can recommend Glide Surf School! Our daughter had a Fun, hardworking, 2 hour lesson that was a great first time experience. We unfortunately had to cancel the second lesson which they were very gracious about. They are a good team, very friendly, extremely efficient and quick to communicate. We hope to be back!
"had my first ever surf lesson (I'm over 40!) and Ben was brilliant sorting thec1 to 1 lesson at short notice today, and Duncan couldn't have been any better. put me at ease, helped me and got me up on my feet several times. haven't laughed and smiled so much in ages. thank you so much. I will be back!"
"I’ve never surfed before today. I had my first session this morning and it was the most incredible experience I’ve had in a long long time. Everyone at Glide were friendly, and extremely knowledgeable but most of all happy in what they were doing!!! This experience will stay with me... I can’t recommend Glide surf enough. If you live close to this establishment come and try it out, if you don’t live close travel the distance to visit it!!!! I’ll be back very soon, can’t quite believe I caught my first wave at 45 years old.. I think I’ve got the bug... Thank you Glide so so much."
FAB! 100% recommend glide surf school! Ben went out of his way to organise for us (three 22yo) to have a surf lesson for when the conditions would be best. Thank you to Duncan for rising early to give us a lesson before we left Norfolk and getting all of us newbies standing on our boards by the end of the lesson. We had the best time - thank you Glide Surf School! Cannot wait to return!
