Learn to Surf at Putsborough, North Devon!
Barefoot Surf School is a family run centre based in beautiful North Devon (near the classic surf beaches of Croyde, Woolacombe, Saunton and Putsborough). All lessons are held at Putsborough Sands, the safest and best learner beach in North Devon. Quieter and more spacious than the busy beaches of Croyde and Woolacombe, yet just a mile or two away.
COVID-19 Response
Our commitment has always been to the health and safety of our clients and our instructors. For this reason, due to COVID-19, we will not be offering group sessions for the 2020 Summer season. However, we are pleased to offer both family sessions and private one-to-one and two-to-one lessons.
We will be following all guidance available to us and will be implementing a number of new measures to ensure as reduced a risk as possible. These will include;
- Sterilising wetsuits and rotation of wetsuit stock (if/when clients do not have their own).
- Cashless pre-payments (online booking now available) where possible and/or processes in place for cash handling on the day.
- Adherence to social distancing measures.
We will be carefully monitoring the situation and Government guidance and adapting our measures as and when necessary.
