Alex is an amazing instructor - First time ever surfing in my life. Absolutely amazing! Massive thank you to Alex Warrington who helped instruct me, made it really clear and also has some incredible banta! Also thank you to Sean, who was also incredibly helpful, and made everything seem so clear and easy. Will definitely try surfing again, as you both made it seem so fun and entertaining. Thank you

Beginners Surf Lesson - Fantastic experience, with a great instructor. The waves are way bigger than you expect but Fistral beach is stunning.

First surf experience was fantastic! - We had an excellent time learning to surf with Sean. Starting from complete beginner we got to standing up and riding the waves. Now excited to practice some more!

Will be back! - Mary-Ann from Monday here, I had an amazing time learning how to surf with instructor Sean at fistral beach! He made sure I got all the basics down first before heading into the water. The weather was pretty windy, but the wetsuit kept me perfectly warm. Thanks to Sean I was able to catch and surf a few waves even though I'm a complete beginner. I also had a great time chatting, so thank you for everything. See you next time in Newquay!

All beginners must go here - They were awesome, patient, chatty and friendly. Stood on the board in my first lesson and I’ve never surfed before! Such a good experience and would be happy to do lessons here again.

Great surf, class instruction, a very nice day out. - The Newquay Activity Centre guys were ace from beginning to end. Booking was super easy through their website and when they proposed a change to the booking, communication was excellent from Rob and we quickly worked it out. Jacob was a class instructor and just a good guy with plenty of chat, making the group feel comfortable and relaxed. Changing facilities are separate for male and female with a lockable toilet and there are plenty of spaces to store your bag with the option to lock up any valuables in the manned office. We walked it out to Fistral and after cracking through technique on the sand we were quickly in the water and I'm fairly certain I saw everyone get up at least once. We hiked back up the dunes to the centre and peeled off our wetsuits and rinsed off in the outside showers. Great session with a great group. Pictures are taken during the activities and available after for those who want some content and for the memories. The following day I spent most of it in the water and caught plenty more and the extra time and context Jacob gave in explaining the waves to go for made all the difference. Cheers guys, will be back!

NAC Surfing - The session was very fun, couldn't stand for the life of me, but that's expected. Alex & Venetia were my instructors for the lesson. They were really friendly, clear and made the experience a really good time! I will definitely come back here again.
