We had a brilliant surf lesson yesterday with Cal. He was so helpful with the kids and really made it fun for them. We haven’t surfed with Miles before and always found MLH to be a professional, friendly set up. Highly recommended.Posted on Google
James LittonWe took a group of 26 ten year olds to Bude on a rugby tour and MLH provided two sessions in what can only be described as frigid conditions. Pete, Cal and Tamsin were super patient and kind to all of the kids. Many of our party said they would like to go back to MLH in the summer when it might be a smidge warmer! Well done Miles, Keith and Fay and the instructors named above!Posted on Google
