“I had tried surfing once before and spent the weekend not knowing what it was like to stand on my surfboard. Then it was Ben to the rescue. I took part in his weekend course, and after a few hours on the first day, I was catching waves and by day two, I was surfing and there was no looking back. Thanks for the best weekend and for helping a girl conquer her fear of the open water!”

"Ben spent some time with me and my brother Mike a few years ago and even travelled to a British Pro Tour event with us. He's super enthusiastic about seeing all his students/competitive surfers improve and do well for themselves in surfing. A very motivated and motivating guy to work with!"

"Frustration frustration frustration. I had been surfing for about two years and reached a stage where my self taught techniques were just limiting my surfing, my pop up was slow so I was missing the green waves and once up my stance was stuck in the oh my god I'm on a wave position. I joined one of bens courses and worked like a demon for 2 days. I got advice on all the techniques I needed to know and was wrecked by the end of the weekend. But, more importantly for me I got tips and advice that I took away and worked on for months after. I enjoyed the course so much I went on a second course about a year later to remind me of what to do. I think its important to remember that even if the conditions are not great on the weekend you do the course you pick up so much that you can work on yourself everytime you surf. Great course at a great price.... Thanks Ben"

"I have done Ben's weekend course twice, and would recommend it to anyone who surfs. Ben's ability to help me make minor but important adjustments to my technique, and his friendly and encouraging approach had helped me to improve and enjoy surfing even more. I'll definitely be back for more!"

Donnacha Foley -  Galway Surf Club Chairperson

"Having come over from England to learn to surf, I used Ben's Surf Clinic. And wasn't left disappointed. Very patient and didn't overload you with jargon. He kept an eye on every wave I caught (or tried to catch) then waited for the right time to offer his tips on were to improve. And unlike many surf schools you see that cram as many people into the lesson as possible and think that having you stand up on a board once for less than a seconds is mission accomplished time to go home. Ben's attention to detail takes it a step further and helps you learn how to read the wave, when to paddle, the timing and how to get up and stay up."

Billy Allen

"Ben is the perfect man to turn the surf poser into a true surfer. He will get you off the beach on on the waves in no time. he is seriously good with kids, including the older sort and i cannot recommend him highly enough."

Leonard Doyle - Journalist

"My friends and I done a surf clinic weekend with Ben and found it really helpful. He was very enthusiastic and observant, giving everyone specific feedback to improve their surfing technique. This constant coaching pushes you harder which means you get the most out of the weekend. We had a very productive fun weekend and would recommend him to anybody interested in lessons that go beyond the basics."
