“Fantastic family fun and you have to see it to believe it! Having has a few surf lessons on the beach in variable conditions, we were all blown away by the possibility of a huge wave maker and consistent waves.”

“Great place to have a fun day, adults and kids. Took my daughter (7) to have a look, she loved it and wants to give surfing a try in the Little Ripper sessions. There is a path you can walk all around the site, play park, mini skate half pipe and a nice informal restaurant. Definitely going back soon!”
