Our surf lessons run daily from Omaha Beach and are organised around the tides; giving you the best possible conditions to surf in.

Surf lessons are run at a relaxed pace and include a pre-surf stretch warm up session, beach based training and lots of in water practice time.

We keep our group lessons small and instructor to surfer ratios conservative, which enables our dedicated instructors to provide plenty of in-water support and feedback.

Caught first wave with awesome instructor at beautiful Omaha beach - Such a great time thanks Saltwater Eco! My son had a personal lesson at Omaha beach with instructor Locke and he had a blast- Locke was awesome and helped my son get up on the board in no time. Beautiful white sand, clear water beach at Omaha to enjoy.

Awesome experience, highly recommend! - I joined the girls on curls lessons with Lydia. I learnt a lot, really enjoyed it and progressed in my surfing skills. Highly recommend, I was nervous at first but had such a great time, friendly atmosphere, very targeted instruction and good equipment. Can't wait to go back.

Locke + Lydia = Superb - Clean and great beach for beginners. Locke was exceptionally patient with us beginners and we'd go back to Omaha just to surf with Saltwater Eco. If you're a first-time surfer, there's no need to be afraid when you're under Locke's guidance. Special mention must be reserved for Lydia, who was in touch with us all steps of the way, and updating us whenever there's a change in wave conditions. We're definitely going back.

The friendliest and most knowledgable instructors - Learning to surf solo could be intimidating but the Saltwater Eco team make it really fun and not scary at all! I've been to a few girls on curls events since I started surfing with them, and they have so much knowledge, and patience, and they make the whole experience super fun. I'd recommend them to everyone.

Fantastic Beginner's Surf Lesson - My two children aged 12 and 10 had a great surf lesson at the very beautiful Omaha beach with Lydia and Locke. Saltwater Eco provided wetsuits and boards and they made the lesson fun and informative. Omaha beach is stunning and we had the most perfect conditions. After some theory on the beach it was straight into the water and the kids managed to get up on their boards and caught a good few waves. A perfect introduction for any beginner.

Amazing teachers! - I’ve been to a couple of lessons now with the team at Saltwater Eco and I’ve had the most awesome time at every lesson! The teachers Lydia & Kirsty are extremely knowledgable and even more patient with beginners. They both bring an air of calm and sea appreciation that puts anyone at ease. Can’t recommend highly enough :)
