Emily Payne, reporting for The Sun, 24 Jun 2008:

“After a couple of failed attempts to catch a wave, Aidan showed me some personal attention. My finest moment in the waves was the first time I stood up, rode a wave all the way to the shore”

Carrie (news reader) from Radio 1's Chris Moyles Show, August 2006:

“It was the most insane, radical, extreme experience I've ever had! All joking aside I had a fantastic time and Rob got me up and riding on my 6th wave. Thanks ESF!”

Quote from Carve Magazine May 2005:

“The ESF surf school is open for business. The school has extra staff this year, it’s a non-profit making operation with all proceeds going to support English Surfing - go for it!”

Quote from Front Magazine February 2004 after receiving a lesson with us:

“Rob, the English surf-team coach, is around to show us the ropes.
Within minutes he’s run through the basic manoeuvres and got us catching four-foot waves. After quarter of an hour, we’re standing up.”

Anthony Sattin reporting in The Sunday Times on July 2, 2000 after receiving a lesson with us:

“ It is one of those experiences, like first-time sex and driving at great speed, which will stay in the memory. There is a burst of power, a surging, swelling roar of water, a rush of adrenaline and I hurtle towards the shore on the crest of a wave, moved beyond my usual element, mixing water and air, where are the cameras, where are the lights? Because I’ve got the action.”

Russ shows how to ride the waves. The UK's most talented surfing "groms" got some tip-top tuition in the spring sunshine at the weekend...

ESF Media Clippings

The English Surfing Federation Surf School has supplied lessons for reporters from among other’s The Sunday Times newspaper and the lads magazine 'Front'. We've also featured heavily within the media with our ongoing quest to promote English surfing and support it from a grass roots level. This has included everything from junior training sessions for the best young surfers around the country to press campaigns to make the media aware that English surfing receives no government funding.

Our media (Magazine / Newspaper) articles are at the top and our news articles are at the bottom of the page
