“Fantastic time with Jack! Wanting to progress our surfing out of the beginner status and Blue Barrel delivered. Patient and knowledgable we came out of the water more confident, definitely better and had a great time doing it.” — Tom
“Really great morning with Jack, learnt loads and had brilliant fun. Went with my 7 year old son who was a bit nervous and Jack looked after him brilliantly, honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more, if you get the chance book in with Blue Barrel, massively recommended.” —Richard
“Jack was a great surf coach (and cheerleader). We were both first time surfers and would highly recommend Blue Barrel, we were a bit nervous at first but had so much fun and is the highlight of our trip to Cornwall! Jack was able to meet us at a beach close to where we were staying with all the equipment and really made sure we got the most out of our two hour lesson” — Harley
“Fantastic time surfing with Blue Barrel.
Jack was knowledgeable, safe, a very good surfer, a very good teacher and above all a nice bloke! All this made the sessions extremely enjoyable and I noticed an improvement in my surfing quickly. Highly recommend 👌🏻” — Edward
