Totally brilliant time. Thanks - Absolutely brilliant experience
Tutors very patient and considerate
All kit supplied and just a thoroughly brilliant time.
Totally knackered after 2 hours so the walk back up the hill carrying the board was a bit of a slog but I am in my 60’s… Best fun ever.

Great experience - Great introduction into the surfconditions of the selected beach. Very good theoretical input from Mike the coach.

Amazing experience - It was our first attempt to try surfing and what an experience!!! The instructor was very helpful and explained well what we need to do and we did stand on the board with the waves, I did not believe I will to be honest. Recommend to everyone.

Brilliant experience - My first time surfing, was a little apprehensive at first and honestly didn’t think I’d get anywhere in just 2 hours. I was pleasantly surprised with how it went, actually managed to stand a few times so I was really happy. Our instructor, Andrew I think (sorry if that’s wrong) was brilliant, really cool guy, really helpful and supportive and a brilliant instructor, made the seemingly difficult and confusing sport of surfing seem quite simple and that enabled all of us to do quite well thanks to his guidance. The surf school is based on Towan beach, which is beautiful, lovely sandy beach, beautiful water and the waves are perfect for surfing no matter your skill level. Super reasonable price as well, £40 for 2 hours and they supply everything! We will definitely be coming back as and when we visit Newquay again

Awesome Dude! - I booked a 2 hrs lesson in the October 1/2 term holiday no problem. The people running it were super nice on arrival and as for the lesson it was A1.
Andy the coach took us all over to Fistral ,as Tower beach wasn’t as good, then encouraged us all individually into fair surfers.
He did a group teaching session then helped each one of us to hone any skill we might have.
Thank you to all involved.
My only complaint is it was all over way too quick Dude!🏄♀️🤟🏼🏄♂️🤟🏼🏄🤟🏼

Super Instructor! - Writing a review specifically to thank our instructor, Richard (Pigeon)! Super clear explanations on the beach, coupled with support of everyone in the group in the water. Extra supportive when I was getting frustrated with not getting the hang of it. By the end of the session I think I'd managed to stand up 5 or 6 times (with a little help being pushed off the waves), which I really thought was impossible at the start! Thank you, Pigeon! I could do with you as a life coach! 😊
