Why choose Scarborough Surf School?

AALA Licensed Activity Provider

We operate as an AALA licensed provider for relevant activities, giving group leaders confidence that robust safety management systems and nationally recognised standards are in place.

Large Group & Youth Specialists

We typically work with groups of around 30 participants per session, but are not limited to this number. For larger bookings (for example groups of 60), we split the group and run back-to-back sessions with smooth, well-managed transitions.

Cayton Bay – Yorkshire Coast Location

Cayton Bay offers one of the most versatile coastal environments in Yorkshire, ideal for surfing, SUP and coasteering, with activities selected to suit conditions on the day.

Group Activities

Surfing for groups

Surfing is delivered as a full-focus activity for the day. Options include a morning surf lesson followed by lunch and afternoon surf hire, or two surf lessons in one day depending on conditions and ability.

Coasteering

Coasteering is delivered as a dedicated 3-hour activity, giving groups time to fully immerse themselves in the adventure. Sessions involve swimming, climbing, scrambling and exploring the Yorkshire coastline under the guidance of our experienced instructors.
For safety and energy management, coasteering and surfing are not run on the same day.

Eco Coasteer

Eco Coasteer combines the excitement of traditional coasteering with a deeper environmental and educational focus. Groups explore parts of the Yorkshire heritage coastline only accessible through coasteering while learning about local flora, fauna and geology.

Tori

Manager & Head Surf Coach

Known as Secretspot’s “Mother Hen,” Tori truly lives and breathes surfing. With over 20 years of surf experience, 16 years coaching, and 12 years as part of the Secretspot family, she plays a central role in everything we do. Tori manages all activities across the surf school and leads our coaching programme as Head Surf Coach, with a particular passion for junior development and performance surfing.

She created and leads our SuperGroms junior progression programme, helping young surfers build strong foundations and progress with confidence. Tori also delivers our advanced lessons, using video analysis, performance drills, and tailored coaching to support surfers looking to take their skills to the next level. Alongside this, she works as a Surfing England Coach Trainer Assessor, delivering coach courses here at Cayton Bay, and volunteers as a Team England Junior Squad Coach, supporting the next generation of competitive surfers.

You’ll probably recognise Tori from our socials, where she provides daily video surf reports, keeping the local community up to date with conditions and surf forecasts. Away from the water, she’s deeply involved in the local surf scene as the founder and chair of Scarborough Boardriders Club CIC and is often behind the scenes organising local surf contests, events, and socials.

During the busy summer months, Tori can be found at Cayton Bay day in, day out, making sure the surf school runs smoothly. When winter rolls around, she heads off to enjoy some free surfing at favourite destinations such as El Salvador, Bali and Ireland, before returning refreshed and ready for another season.

Paul "Tomo"

Owner

The backbone of our business, Tomo has grown up surfing Scarborough and has dedicated his life to the surf industry in the North East. With deep local knowledge and decades of experience in the water, he represents everything our surf school stands for: authenticity, expertise, and a genuine passion for the coastline we call home.

In 2008, Tomo took over the surf school from Ross and brought it together with Secretspot Surf Shop, established in 1989. As one of the oldest surf shops in the UK—and the largest in the North East—Secretspot has long been at the heart of the local surf community. Combining the two businesses was a natural progression, allowing Tomo to carry forward a shared ethos built on local knowledge, surf culture, and a lifelong love of Cayton Bay.

The philosophy has always been simple: run by surfers, for surfers. That means providing the best possible equipment, honest advice, and coaching rooted in real experience—whether you’re standing on a board for the first time or looking to progress your skills.

Known affectionately as our “Chief of Coasteering,” Tomo grew up exploring every nook and cranny of the East Coast. That lifelong familiarity with the coastline led him to become a trained coasteering instructor and to introduce coasteering to the Yorkshire Coast. Over the years, he has personally developed and led thousands of coasteering sessions, continually refining them to create the safe, professional, and unforgettable experiences we offer today.

Tomo’s depth of experience, commitment to safety, and passion for sharing the coastline are the foundation of everything we do.
