The Deal

Surf's up with Progress Surf School, where one or two beginners are taught to ride the waves in a two-hour lesson (usually £25 per person). The students are encouraged to bring nothing but a bathing suit and a sense of adventure for their session, as a qualified coach teaches them the balancing and coordination techniques needed to stand on water. Hopefully, by the end of the lesson, beach bums will be ripping and shredding the waves.

Choose form the following options for a two-hour surfing lesson:

• £12.90 for one (48% off)

• £25.80 for two (48% off)

Groupon Asks Daniel Hart, Owner of Progress Surf School, about his favourite sport and the key skills needed.

G: How did you get into surfing?

"When I was eight, my grandfather took me to the beach and lent me his board to try surfing. A few months later he still didn't have his board back, because after my first surf I was hooked."

G: How did this business come about?

"I set up the business about 10 years ago because of my love for surfing . It gave me an excuse to be at the beach every day enjoying the sport I am so passionate about."

G: Where's the best place you've surfed? What made it so good?

"I have travelled all over the world surfing, but I believe you can't find a better place to surf than your local beaches. You know the people in the water, you can share waves with your friends, and you don't need to take your passport and loads of money with you to surf at home."

G: What key skills do you need to master the waves?

"Everyone can learn to surf, and although it is good to have reasonable balance and coordination, this can be taught during the lessons with the help of our expert surf coaches."

G: What should people bring with them on the day?

"We will provide the majority of the equipment, but you will need to bring towels, bathing costumes/trunks to wear under the wetsuits and spare change for parking and refreshments."
