Is this the most beautiful beach in Cornwall?! Nico ran a fantastic lesson for 4 children (agree 10-14) during a Bristol Surf Club visit. He helping them progress turns and advance beyond beginner level. Fantastic teacher for all levels and ages. Next time we’re planning Nico to coach a group of intermediate adults whilst we surf out back.
