Surfing for beginners in Europe

[ChrisG89]

Hey,

I'm looking at booking a holiday for me and my girlfriend later this year, I want to have a go at surfing, so was looking to go somewhere I can do this! The problem is, my girlfriend doesn't really like being thrown about in the water, so I know she will hate it. So I'm looking for somewhere I can get surfing lessons etc and she can still have a good holiday and not just stuck on a beach whilst I try and surf, any recommendations?

Thanks

Chris

I live near Chester, so I'm not that far from Abersoch, about 2 hours I think?

The idea is to go on holiday and I can do a couple of days of surfing as a side result, that's why I want somewhere that's not just about surfing really.

Portugal looks good, that's where I originally looked, but there's a lot of choice.

My mum and dad have just bought a caravan and pick it up in April, so I might try and persuade them to try their new toy out near Abersoch and then me, the girlfriend and the dog can go stay with them and I can try surfing!
