I don't surf or wish to surf but they incorporated me into the lesson through teaching me safety, what to look out for, what to check etc to support my kids safely.

MattPosted on 2009mrsHTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Theo was a wonderful, friendly and thorough instructor for our first surfing experience. Everything was explained clearly, with patience and he was very kind and supportive to my son. Luke, his assistant was great too, very helpful to my daughter who needed extra help as she was younger. Each of the 3 children managed to stand up on the boards even though it was their first time. Thoroughly recommend Evolve surf school for your surfing experience in Cornwall. Thank you both!Posted on Dave JenningsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want someone who takes care and time with you, or your child with ADHD in our case, then book with Theo. Superb manner and patience. Couldn't be better.Posted on EmmaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a 2hour lesson for my husband and 9 year old son. Our son had no prior experience of surfing but to say he was absolutely elated after his lesson this week is an understatement. Theo the instructor was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and took great care with our 9 year old from showing him how to hold the board, to the safety information and the how to of surfing. It meant he was able to stand and surf during his first lesson. As the on looker it was delightful to hear the praise from Theo when anyone in the group did well; it was joyful experience for everyone. Our son said thank you so much for an epic first lesson - he would rate you 1000%. I would thoroughly recommend you and will be sure to book again next time we visit.
