Surf lesson with Lottie 🏄‍♀️ - We had a great time with Lottie doing a beginners surf lesson. She was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and encouraging - catering to both of our ability’s through the whole session. She was just as committed as we were to get us progressing through the lesson, we had a great time as by the end of the lesson, we were riding waves with confidence🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️

Amazing private surf lesson with James - I took a private surf lesson with James and had a fantastic time! He is an excellent surf instructor and quickly adjusted his teaching to meet my individual needs, abilities and skillset. I have taken beginner surfing lessons before, but have never caught green waves until my lesson with James! In addition to that, he is very knowledgeable about the local geography and surf conditions and freely shared this information with me throughout the session. He has a passion for surfing that was clear for the duration of the session and his genuine excitement when I caught a wave was awesome. He frequently checked in with me to see how I was feeling and made me feel safe and supported the whole time. I would highly recommend taking a lesson with him!

Private surf lesson - Our 3 girls had the BEST time during their private surf lesson. From booking right through to the lesson everyone was so helpful and friendly. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Alex and Luke were the BEST instructors. So friendly and incredibly enthusiastic! They managed to get all 3 girls standing on their boards and our girls had the time of their lives. They loved every minute. Cannot reccomend highly enough. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much.

Fantastic surf lesson by Sean - We were greeted by Sean who quickly settled our nerves. He explained exactly what would happen and why and straight away it felt like a very personal experience. We walked down to Fistral and Sean showed what to do while on the sand while checking our techniques. He then took us out in small groups and assisted us while in the sea and gave feedback each time. Even after multiple nose dives he knew how to keep us motivated! Fantastic energy and so impressed with the progress we made from just one surf lesson. Would definitely book again. Thank you Sean ♥️
