Wetsuit and Surfboard Sale

We’re incredibly happy to have taken on South Beach Surf School but we now have more equipment than we could ever possibly need!

Pop down to see us to grab yourself a bargain on a board or wetsuit and help us recycle equipment. The majority of these wetsuits are 5mm on the body and perfect for year round access to the North Sea.

We’re open all day Saturday and Sunday 🤙🏻

Ideally bring cash to save us on bank charges but we can also take bank transfer and card payments 💕

Big news!!

We’ve taken over

We’ve been working towards getting a permanent unit on the beach for years. This gives us the space to properly store some of our massive equipment and provide permanent adaptive changing facilities.

This is in collaboration with the lovely Phil from Silver Surf, who has been nothing short of incredible since we started working together last summer.

Drop by and see us at the Dave Stephens Centre. The sun is shining and we’re open for business!

Huge thank you to for the support and funding 🤙🏻

We’re hoping somebody might be able to help us out. Sadly, we’ve had to take our seated surfboard out of use immediately. Being in the middle of our season this is devastating not just for us but for all of the people who rely on us to get them into the sea.

We’re coming to the community to see if anybody has a seated surfboard that they could sell or loan to us.

We’re getting a new one made by a lovely organisation but don’t want to pause our ability to offer this essential part of adaptive kit for too long.

You can help us by sharing this within the community!

much love,

Adaptive Ocean Academy team x

Our first surf hire employee, the wonderful Rebecca from

You can book your surf hire online from the QR code on our easy read sheet and show Rebecca your booking. Give us a couple of weeks to get this running smoothly (with our website-advice warranted from any tech whizzes 🥴) but then Rebecca will be with us every Sunday through the school holidays 🤙🏻

You may even catch her in the water assisting with some adaptive surf!!
