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.”

Review after receiving a lesson with us:
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...
