Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Complete novice having never surfed before. Booked a group lesson for myself and a 9 year old. The instructors we’re engaging and by the end of the 2 hours we were both able to stand up on the boards (Albeit for a couple of seconds). The equipment was in good condition. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Best money spent this holiday

Had a few lessons with Glide Surf School -- it has been a great introduction for a novice. Great instructors and all staff are so helpful.
Good equipment and a good location to hire. Great set up at the North Norfolk Coast and highly recommended to anyone wishing to try the art of standing and gliding on a board.
The location is perfect, the walk to the water is not too long. Facilities are limited (as they would be when surfing anywhere) - one can store their belongings at the store - public toilets are nearby.
Overall a big thank you to Glide Surf School for making surfing in North Norfolk accessible. Sara H-A

My son had a 2 hour lesson with them in Mundesley. He loved it and would now like to surf again next time we're at the coast! Great instruction, plenty of time on the water. Equipment well maintained, and fantastic va'ue for money.

We booked for our children to familiarise themselves with surfing as they hadn't done it for a year and new to this beach. The instructors were really friendly and polite. The kit provided was good. It is advisable to book ahead as they seemed busy. The hire prices are reasonable.

I had a surf lesson with Duncan today and had to leave a review. I have wanted to do this for years, but was very nervous. I booked on impulse yesterday after watching a great session the team did with some young children. I am old and unfit and I immediately wondered what I was thinking. However, it was brilliant and I absolutely loved every minute. The team were talented, friendly, kind, and patient. I would recommend this experience to everyone no matter your age or ability. I will never be a great surfer, despite Duncan’s very best efforts, but I felt fitter, thrilled, younger, and really peaceful.

We definitely can recommend Glide Surf School! Our daughter had a Fun, hardworking, 2 hour lesson that was a great first time experience. We unfortunately had to cancel the second lesson which they were very gracious about. They are a good team, very friendly, extremely efficient and quick to communicate. We hope to be back!
