Hi Laurence

Just to let you know what a great time I had last summer 2010, with my two teenage boys and how much we are looking forward to seeing you again in the last week of August. You were exceptionally patient with my autistic son and made him feel really welcome by including him so wholeheartedly in with the group. Can't wait to get back to the beach!

All the best,
Anita, Ell and Hugo

Just a little note to thank you for the surfing lessons which Kim had
during our stay over the last couple of weeks - she had an absolutely
fantastic time.

Definitely book her in again next time we come down to Cornwall.

Hi Pete, firstly thanks for the excellent surfing lessons, I know it's
your day job and all that but your enthusiasm for the sport is
completely infectious.. The kids are already asking when they can come
back and try again and I am certainly going to be having another go..
we're all totally hooked !!

I also think it's a real possibility that we could bring our U15 footy
team down to Cornwall next spring half term as an end of season jolly,
it would be a great trip for these kids to come to Cornwall and learn
to surf

I know it's early days now but if you can give it some thought, maybe
talk to the park about accomodation options and costs I'm sure we can
make this a really great trip

We would be a party of 15/16 lads and 4/5 adults so approx 20 all
wanting to surf

The team could play against some local U15 - school year 10 sides as
discussed

Stay in touch mate and enjoy the surfing

Regards

Sean

Hi guys,
I just wanted to thank you ever so much for a first-class time at the
beach. Your passion for surfing is amazing. I felt my confidence
building by the minute. What an amazing experience, I will very much
look forward to more coaching.
Take care, Johno.

Just got back up country and back to reality. Just wanted to say a real big thank you for our surf lesson. We had an excellent time on the Tuesday 24/9/2010 at 14.30 hrs.
Jago managed to get up on the board in the water, whilst I did not, no lack of trying just carrying to much weight and being incompetent.
Jago and I will be coming back for more lessons, this time some back to back ones, as he wanted to do it the next day and through the rest of the holiday. Pete you were right body boarding is never quite as good again.
Please pass on our thanks to Sam for looking after us and the time he gave to Jago as well, which enabled him to be such a star, he is not letting me live it down.
Hope to see you guys next time we are down.

Hi Laurence,
I just wanted to say thanks for the surf lessons. Aaron, Sam and Josh were great, and got us all up and surfing in the 3 lessons. We all had a great time and will definitely be doing it again!
Cheers

Hi Laurence

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for taking good care of the boys; they absolutely loved their week spent with the Surf Centre this August.

I got them back worn out and exhausted... but yet exhilarated... just what 'I' was hoping for :D

Bobby

Hi Laurence,

Great to see you last week and thanks again for the great 1 on 1.
Warning, these guys could change your life! Before Shore Surf I was on a successful career path with an understanding loving wife and kids. I now live to surf. My will has been subsumed by the urge to go surfing at every opportunity and I am tormented with longing when the surf's up and I'm not out. We only holiday where there are waves. It is too late for me, I am hooked and have lost the freedom of choice but there is still time to save yourselves. If you learn with these guys prepare to lose everything - and then gain everything!

Paul

PS...dear Shore Surf, please can I have my husband back? Julie, Paul's wife.

Dear Laurence, Peter, Sam, Josh and Simon.

Just a note to say many thanks indeed for a great time when I was staying at St.Ives Bay, and I came surfing. I certainly enjoyed myself, and look forward to St.Ives Bay and Godrevy once again, later in the year. Meanwhile, I hope the season goes well for you, and you have a good summer.
All the best and hope to see you later in the year,
Noel. 26th July 2010

Hi Pete and Lars!

Thought I'd let you know I gave out all your leaflets at WOMAD in Reading and got quite a good response (except from the northerners!)

So watch out for some new students (hopefully!)

I had a wicked time surfing and will be coming again with my sister probably in September, so take care and see you then!

Alice

Just a email to thank you for an excellent week still aching but still can't wait for the next time.

I will phone in the week to book a few more lessons.

Thanks!

Steve

Hello lads,

Firstly, thanks for a memorable few days surfing. We all had a great time so we shall do it again sometime. I tried some surfing in Portugal on the west coast ( Carrapateira - somewhere like that) but it was painful and none too successful. I will send u some pictures of Portugal's surf and the ones u took just as soon as I get them scanned.
Hope u guys are all well...

Hi Pete,

This is Mrs & Mrs Dawson aka Mark & Sam whom you taught to fall into the water in a surf style last week. We have managed to persuade a few of our less rational mates to come down with us and sample one of your surfing deals for a weekend (seeing as your teaching was so excellent!)

We were thinking about the "3 nights accommodation at St Ives International Backpackers, 3 full days surf surfari in our cool surf bus, all equipment and transport provided, relaxed professional tuition for all abilities" as it sounds so good.

We would like to stay in the backpackers but who sorts that out us or you? The surf bus sounds good too, but please, no crazy Cornish dogs with a death wish this time please!

We were thinking about coming down for the weekend beginning 17/11 please let us know if this is OK plus details of payment e.g. cash, brown paper bag etc
