The shop offers a wide range of activities and equipment hire including surfboard and wetsuit hire, bodyboards, longboards, stand-up paddleboards (semi-rigid SUPs), kayaks and full protective kit such as hoods, gloves and boots. Small-group lessons, private instruction and guided tours are available across multiple experience levels. The Big Tuna’s Water Sports Club is a dedicated kids surf club for ages 4–16 that runs every Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday and focuses on beach safety, surfing, paddle-boarding and kayaking with qualified instructors. Stand-up paddleboard hire uses semi-rigid inflatable SUPs and the popular Paddleboard Tours run for approximately 1.5 hours, often highlighting North Bay scenery and local wildlife. The Kayak Beach & Bite Tour includes kayaking lessons followed by coastal exploration with opportunities to see seals and porpoises. Board hire options are flexible with two-hour, four-hour and full-day slots offered for many boards; some hire items are requested to be returned by 9 PM. Private surf and kayak lessons cater to one-on-one progression, while improver lessons and group coaching support regular learners. Safety, small-group instruction and local coastal knowledge form the basis of the shop’s approach. Dexter’s Surf Shop serves families, beginners and experienced paddlers seeking guided tours, hire or tailored lessons on the Yorkshire Coast. Additional sessions include offerings such as Adult Watersports Afternoon, Surf Sisters and the Tuna Surf Camp to support community participation across age groups and ability levels safely.
