Brighton Watersports & Sailing centre

First time kayaking but didn't really feel like it. Shout-out to Taylor for being an absolutely fantastic instructor. Had a blast!

Would definitely do it again!

Taylor was the best instructor we could have asked for!! Fantastic photos and loads of fun! If you get to pick your instructor pick Taylor!!

Want to thank Quinty and the team at Piddinghoe for making the RYA 1 & 2 learn to sail such a great learning experience.
They were very knowledgeable, down to earth & supportive.

My son Sam started his surf journey with Shawn in October 2022 and has not looked back since. We could not have asked for a more patient and encouraging teacher. Sam learnt alot in a couple of hours, and is now surfing regularly, and surfing is his favourite passion. Thanks to Shawn, Sam has found a mentor and teacher - who has introduced him to a sport that fulfils both physical and mental fitness.
If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced team, don’t hesitate - contact Brighton Watersports and ask for Shawn.

I had a 1:1 surf session with Shawn this week which was absolutely amazing! He is such a calm and patient instructor & taught me so much. It was definitely the BEST surf session I ever had!
Great instructions and tips throughout the session! It was so much fun!
Ironically it was the first surf in England I ever had even though we are in Brighton very frequently as it’s an easy commute from London.

If you don’t have a wetsuit or anything else related to surfing, you can be reassured that everything will be provided!
You are free to bring your own if you like.
The surf club is absolutely fantastic, lovely and very helpful people. The club also has changing rooms and showers. Additionally, there is a pretty cool surf shop next door, if you fancy to buy some equipment or a talk! Everyone is super helpful there.

I communicated with Shawn via whatsapp. I received lots of information upfront, detailed instructions/ location etc.
Everything had been provided and prepped for a smooth transition into the water shortly afterwards.

I cannot recommend the surf club & Shawn enough! No matter what you are looking for (beginner, intermediate, advanced) - there is lots to learn from Shawn!

Thank you so much for the session & great time!

The best surf lesson and day! Had a surf lesson with Shawn, he is so knowledgable and a really nice bloke. All the kit was provided and fit perfectly. Shawn then gave a quick but informative intro into surfing, the board etc. and then we got straight to it. Got to catch loads of waves and Shawn gave loads of great tips to help me improve. When we got back to the shop I met some more of the team who were also lovely. Overall such a fun day out. I will definitely be back for more lessons and definitely recommend Shawn and the team if you want to have a go at surfing.

Purchased an Orca wetsuit online. It's was packed and shipped very quickly. Delivery on the other hand was by Royal Mail, who did their best to slow the entire process down. Oh...and the wetsuit was an incredible price with the additional 10% off for new customers. All round 5 stars for Brighton Watersports!

Really really good! Rented two kayaks, very easy + wetsuit was a must, the wind and water was already quite cold, but an absolutely awesome experience! I have returned already and will return again.
