Surf Lessons
Beginner Group Surf Lessons
Our beginner surf lessons are tailored for absolute newcomers to the sport. Once you’ve been allocated the correct kit from us, you’ll learn everything a beginner needs to know about beach safety, paddling technique, how to catch waves, and finally the fundamentals of getting up to your feet on the surfboard.
We pride ourselves on small beginner surf lessons with unbeatable coach-to-student ratios. The average beginner surf lesson ratio is 1:4 with the maximum being 1:6. This guarantees each of our customers more 1-to-1 coaching. The customer experience is our number 1 priority.
Refresher Group Surf Lessons
For surfers looking to further develop their skills, Improver surf lessons are for the people who have taken a few lessons in the past and looking to progress and push their surfing!
If you’ve caught the bug and can regularly get to your feet, our Refresher lessons cover aspects of surfing such as fine-tuning the basics, turning your board, gaining speed, and catching unbroken waves from further out to sea. We have a large variety of boards to cover the needs of the improving surfer.

The two young gentlemen who took the lesson were really friendly and welcoming and loud and clear when it came to tutoring, and very helpful and supportive once we were actually in the water. The two hours flew by and it really was an exhilarating experience which i would highly recommend to anyone of all ages to try, i will definitely be doing it againKim Day2024-04-12We rented a surf board for my daughter one day on our holiday. Theo was fantastic and kept me updated with all the necessary information by calling. Thank you for making my daughters day ☺️Magnus Wright2024-04-07Hired boards from Theo earlier this week to surf in St Ives.

Theo and his partner were fantastic with our very mixed group ranging from 11 up to 49. They were so enthusiastic, encouraging and involved. Everyone caught at least one wave (most a lot more) and they really helped our little ones get the most out of their time. Money very well spent and we will be back!
