Harlyn Surf School is a member of the R.N.L.I. Surf Hire Safety Scheme. This scheme is a joint venture between the RNLI and the BSA. It is all about reducing the level of surf-related incidents in the UK.
Surf Hire Safety is aimed at the hire sector that is largely unregulated and offers varying levels of advice and good practice within their operations. There are currently 1000s of outlets supplying surf hire equipment from large commercial businesses to one man and his van operations. Often this kit is in poor condition and is poorly maintained. On top of that no or little advice is given to hirers.
Surf Hire Safety aims to introduce a voluntary code of practice, which allows people renting surfing equipment to know they are using safe and reliable kit.
So you can be rest assured that when you hire equipment from us it will be well maintained and you will receive the appropriate safety advice. So please do come down and meet us at our surf hire centre right on the beach at Harlyn!
