Fantastic coasteering experience! - Our family (two adults and four kids aged 11 to 15 — including one with autism) did the coasteering with Freewave Surf Academy while on holiday in Bude last week, and it was absolutely amazing.
Robin and Tom were fantastic instructors. They looked after the kids brilliantly, made sure everyone felt safe and confident, and were full of interesting knowledge about the local area. We explored rocks, pools and caves, and had an unforgettable time jumping into the sea together.
It was the perfect mix of adventure, fun and reassurance, and the whole family came away buzzing. We couldn’t recommend Freewave Surf Academy highly enough. Already looking forward to doing it again!

Great coasteering experience - We had an amazing coasteering experience with Freewave Surfing. None of us had tried coasteering before, but James and Tom made us feel safe, confident, and excited from the start. The whole experience was exhilarating, challenging, and great fun, with plenty of opportunities to push ourselves while knowing we were in very capable hands.
James and Tom were fantastic instructors – friendly, encouraging, and great at judging everyone’s comfort levels. They created a really positive atmosphere for our mixed group of adults and teenagers, making sure everyone had a brilliant time. We’d highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an adventurous and memorable day out.

A very fun few hours - A brilliant morning.
They were a great team and the safety (in changing weather and a bit of a swell) was never a question - they were on it!
We had fun exploring, swimming, climbing and jumping - given clear instructions the whole time to make it all easy and achieveable for a mixed ability/age group - would highly recommend

Best day of our holiday!!!! - My 10yo daughter and I were supposed to have a surf lesson but the sea was too calm! So the team booked us onto a Coasteerinv session.
I can honestly say we had no idea what to expect!
When we arrived we were given wet suits, life vests and helmets. Ominous!
The lovely team looking after us were Sally & Jack. What a fun, helpful and caring pair they were!!!
We headed out to swim 500M to the Jump Sites!! Jack and Sally both offered my daughter lots of help and support on the swim even towing for a short period!
At the jump off site we were all given the choice of different heights but no pressure was put on us!
Then the swim back which we really enjoyed as it was much more leisurely.
At no time did we feel unsafe. We laughed all the time we were with the team and absolutely loved every second!
THE BEST DAY THANKS

All in all a wonderful (and tiring) adventure - Was recommended Freewave by Pencuke farm where we were staying and they did not dissapoint. Robin and Reuben were excellent guides, especially as they had to cope with 14 of us. They were brilliant with the younger ones, encouraging and helping the 12 yr old in our group when she started tiring. And patient with the older ones struggling to get on the rocks. They tailored it for all our needs, with lower jumps for the fearful and higher jumps for the thrill seekers. They explained everything, such as why we were going one way and not the other due to the tide an weather.

Coasteering - 2 hours of sea swimming, climbing and jumping from the rocks. Loved every minute. Was given the confidence to push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of.

Great time first time coasteering - Had a fantastic experience doing the coasteering, the leaders were really friendly and gave an excellent briefing before we started. It was clear as we went through the session that they adapted the activities based on the groups ability and also the prevailing conditions!
There is a steep walk in and out of the bay, but the benefit is that the bay is really quiet and secluded.

A brilliant coasteering experience - Robin is a truly amazing coasteering leader. The safety briefings, as we progressed from start to finish were timely & comprehensive; we were made to feel safe in all aspects, also with Taylor as backup.
He tailored the trip to our abilities, the tide height, and sea conditions. Background knowledge was interesting, as we investigated sea caves, boulder fields, swam around the bay, several traversing climbs, and jumped in from ledges (always with patience and the option to opt-out, or reduce height).
Helmet, wetsuit & buoyancy aid - all in great condition.
Thank you!

Great experience - Excellent experience. Equipment provided was great. Staff were very knowledgeable and safety conscious. Quite a bit more challenging than other coasteering trips we'd done, but more interesting and varied.
