We felt welcomed by staff since our entry into the shop. Although we did not have a proper warm up, except for carrying our boards down to the beach, we spent plenty of time in water practicing. I would definitely do it again!
Great experience as a first timer at 59 year old. Great instruction and managed to stand up after many attempts. Will sleep tonight 😅

You smashed your surfing lesson David - a well deserved sleep! Thanks for your review!
This was my first experience and I enjoyed it a lot. Although I went with my son and would have appreciate more if he would have got some attention from the instructor.
Despite the windy weather, we had the best time and James was an excellent instructor. Definitely recommend!

Stayed for five days, had five days of lessons and it was really amazing. Friendly staff that were thinking with me. I really grow and took green waves at the end of the week:). Thanks for your support, i will never forget my first waves and who made me do it:).

Fabulous morning learning to surfing 🏄♀️ At 54 & on my own you can’t come to Newquay & not 💕 Both instructors brilliant & took time with each of our group. Changing rooms in shop. Do not park opposite as only 2 hours
