“Shaka Surf isn’t just a any old surf school, we offer a variety of water sports and we’re set up on the golden sands of Poole and Bournemouth Bay, on a seven mile stretch of beautiful golden sand. The award winning water offers great waves or great flat water fun - beautiful Blue Flag beaches, that are dog friendly all year round. All our instructors are fully qualified, and have a passion for the ocean, our customers, and our service.

I learnt to surf when living in Huntington  Beach, L.A California many years ago. Having travelled the world surfing, I was inspired to create and launch Shaka Surf to help others enjoy the water as much as I do.

We welcome you to try our activities, which include:

Surfing (Hire, lessons and parties) - Our lessons help paddle techniques, stamina and pop-up techniques (how to get up on to the surf board), tailored to each individual as we know everybody learns at a different rate. If you prefer you can hire a board and try it out for yourself.

Stand-up paddle boarding SUP (Hire and lessons) - During our paddleboard lessons, we assess each client’s ability and offer learning that’s right for them. From basic learning drills, stamina building, sprint training and surf supping. Boards available for hire too.

Kayaks (Hire) - Don’t feel confident with a surf or paddleboard? Why not have fun in the sea by hiring a kayak instead.

We hope you can join us on the south coast very soon.”
