longboarding lessons

[bluesnowcone]

i can surf fine, and catch waves fine, go down the line the odd top turn ect ect. but i dont have a clue what im doing on a longboard, all i know is from my short boarding, and i dont know how to cross step,hang 5 ectect, and i think that i could benefit from longboarding lessons. does anyone know of some that are in the north devon area (saunton would be best)? cheers

There are several guys that are good longboard coaches down in the South West.

Lee Ryan gives longboard lessons - http://www.longboarding.co.uk/ - he has several UK, and European longboard titles under his belt and he does give one on one lessons too. Nice guy too. He is based in Cornwall but may travel up.

Nick Thorn down in Woolacombe is not specific longboard but I hear he gives longboard lessons: http://www.nickthorn.com/

bluesnowcone2000, let me know how you get on with the lesson if you decide to take it. I was looking into it myself and any feedback from someone who have had the lesson would be much appreciated.
