Our instructors are there to help you to enjoy the ocean whatever your age or ability, even if you are a total beginner. You’ll be amazed at how much fun you can have in the surf! All of our instructors are trained surf coaches & hold beach lifeguard qualifications giving you the confidence and best chance of learning to surf in a relaxed yet structured and fun environment. Our group sessions are designed to give you a great taste of surfing. We keep our group sizes small and below the industry recommended group size. In our experience small group surf lessons provide a better experience for customers & surf coach. If you’re looking for a more private One on One experience our private surf lessons may be a better option.
A warm welcome awaits you by your surf instructor, you’ll be sized up for your wetsuit before being handed your surfboard. You’ll need your swimming costume, a towel and some shoes for the beach. Once everyone is ready it’s a short walk to either of the beaches where your coach provides an overview of your lesson. The aim of our group lesson is to pass on enough information for you to feel confident to surf in your own time. You’ll learn beach, surf and board safety, before practising your prone surfing and catching waves on your stomach. After some further tuition back on the sand, it’s time to test out your pop up skills and ride waves back to the shore looking the part. Group surf lessons are perfect for a Newquay stag do or hen do!
You’ll need to arrive at our base at your lesson time. You can find us at 40 Fore street, Newquay, Cornwall, TR7 1LP. Look for the blue building opposite Sainsbury’s.
We are based in the heart of Newquay and are a short walk from both Towan & Fistral beach. The tide and surf conditions of the day will decide which beach is best suited.
The minimum age for group lessons is 8 years old. Where possible we keep children and families together.
We offer a range of private surf lessons for younger children under the age of 8.
We’d suggest throw away one a day contact lenses for wearing in the sea.
