Overview

Sarah Whiteley grew up looking over Saunton Sands, right between Croyde and Braunton. After years at the top of the competitive surfing game (British and European Champion), she decided to return to her roots and give something back to the sport by setting up Walking on Waves Surf School. Chances are you could get lessons from one of Britain’s most successful female surfers.

I believe in, and take pride in, working with surfers at all levels – from first attempt to competition coaching. There’s a joy that comes from seeing someone stand up for the first time that invigorates me every time. Equally, there’s a sense of fulfilment at helping someone nail a manoeuvre that they’ve been working on for 3 months.

    Warm,welcoming,patient and professional. Walking on waves surf school is highly recommended. Saunton Sands also provides an incredibly beautiful backdrop. Many thanks to Jimmy, Jack, Millie and Mollie for two fun filled and unforgettable visits! Support your independents!

    I visited Saunton Sands recently and, as a surf novice,  I booked a surf lesson. Having never surfed before, naturally I  was slightly apprehensive,  however I need not have been for my instructor, George,  put me at ease straight away. His calm, clear instructions along with his genial manner and encouragement ensured I felt completely safe at all times. I will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in Devon. Thank you so much.

    Jack and the team we’re excellent and did a brilliant job. Having tried to teach my 12 year old daughter to surf (and failed) I thought she would listen to a professional coach and her (and her friend) ended the session standing up and surfing the whitewater but, more importantly, wanting to surf more - they’re hooked!! Great job - would highly recommend.
