Nicola Bunt rides the waves

Learn from the Pro's

Local South West surf heroes Alan Stokes and Nicola Bunt (both former British Surf Champion title holders) have ear-marked some time in July and August to introduce the next wave of surfers to the waves and start surfing this summer.

Both surfers - Alan Stokes and Nicola Bunt - grew up surfing the beaches in the Newquay and St Agnes area and have an in-depth knowledge of the local breaks and the best surfing techniques.

Nicola will be overseeing the ASA Girls Only days which are a chance for girls to learn to surf together and try yoga, as well as find out more about the types of surfboards and surf equipment that is best for learning on and then progressing to the next level.

Alan Stokes will be at the Animal Rider Workshop sessions which include a surf lesson, all equipment and a beach picnic and the chance to meet and learn from the professionals. It's also a good chance to ask the surfers questions and find out why they have dedicated their lives to travelling the world in search for the best waves.

Surfers of all ages are being welcomed to join Alan and Nicola on one of the exclusive days being held at the Animal Surf Academy this summer .

The Animal Rider Workshops with Alan Stokes will be on Saturday 18th August in Polzeath and Sunday 19th August in Newquay.

The ASA Girls Only days are being held on various dates throughout the summer, opening on Saturday 14th July in Polzeath.
