Very fun day! - Visited today for a beginners surf class and had an amazing time! Lovely shop with all equipment given to us, followed by a fun but effective safety breefing. Everything was explained clearly and made it easier for us to catch some waves! Would 100% return. It was GREAT fun, recommend to everyone of all ages. Our instructor Judy was amazing too.

Great experience - 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!

Brilliant. Do not hesitate to book - We had a brilliant time trying surfing with Nick. With a teenager it can be hard in half term to find activities to do but honestly I would recommend this. We had a really rainy day but to be honest that was great as we got wet anyway! And the sea was warm and waves were amazing. Would definitely go again if in Newquay and tempted to also try the coasteering too as that looks amazing. Thanks guys, was great and would recommend 100 percent.

Good experiences over separate occassions - I've had good experiences over 2 separate occassions with Cornish Wave Surf and Adventure, thanks to their friendly, calm and professional staff. Their pricing for some products was a little out of my range, but paying the extra pounds was definitely worth it. The thoroughness and great attention at what they do and friendliness made my experience really good so I'd happily be back for other services/new adventures. A big thanks to James, Fin and the rest of their team, Rachel I A
