Beginner/ Refresher Surf lesson in Cornwall

These sessions are great for complete beginners and people that have given surfing a go or maybe had one or two lessons before whether recently or in the past.

During this lesson we will break down learning to surf to make it as easy as possible for you. The first part of the lesson will cover safety, positioning on the board and how to catch waves. We then move on to mastering the “pop up” or teaching you different techniques to get to your feet.  We will help break this down so you can learn each stage at your own pace. If you have tried a little surfing before let your instructor know and they can give you some extra tips to help you improve.
