This three-day Zero to Hero package at South Fistral is for beginners aged 8 and up who want structured coaching, video feedback and plenty of time on the water. You'll have three two-hour lessons, keep the kit for the rest of each day, and finish with photos from the last session. Groups stay small, with no more than four people, so your instructor can stay close as you build from the basics towards green waves.
Over the three days, you'll work through surf fundamentals, starting from the basics and building towards more advanced skills. On day one, you'll be introduced to surfing techniques and learn how to handle the board and position yourself effectively. By day two, you'll receive video feedback so you can pinpoint areas for improvement, then spend the afternoon practising on your own, with surf equipment available for the rest of the day.
On day three, a photographer will capture you in action as you show off your newly acquired skills. Each day's surf session is typically scheduled between 10am and 12pm, though times will be confirmed upon booking. You keep the photos and videos, so you have a record of your progress. This intensive stretch is designed to help you move from beginner to a more confident surfer, ready to ride green waves by the end of your trip.
Newquay is a well known surfing town, with beaches and consistent waves that suit a wide range of abilities. South Fistral gives you a sandy shoreline and plenty of space to practise, whether you're catching your first wave or working on your technique as the days go on.
You'll meet us on the grass at South Fistral, in front of Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa, just to the left of the decking. Look out for our smoke green surfboards.

The Zero to Hero Surf Package is an intensive 3-day surf course designed to take beginners through the essential skills needed to improve quickly. You'll have a two-hour lesson each day, with coaching that builds from the basics towards riding green waves.
You'll also receive expert instruction, video analysis on day two, photos on day three, and the chance to practise with the right equipment for the rest of each day.
Each surf session lasts for 2 hours. On day 2, you'll also receive a video analysis of your performance to identify areas for improvement before you head back out to practise.
On day 3, you'll have a photographer capturing your surfing, so you can see how far you've come by the end of the three days. Session times are typically 10am to 12pm and will be confirmed when you book.
On day 2 of the package, your instructor will film your surfing and then provide a breakdown of the footage to give you personalised feedback. You'll see your positioning, paddling and pop-up from the water rather than trying to remember how it felt in the moment.
This allows you to see your technique clearly and gain targeted tips to help you improve during the afternoon practice session, when you still have the kit for the rest of the day.
No prior surfing experience is necessary for this package. It is specifically designed for beginners who want to learn the basics and progress as much as possible over the three days.
Participants must be confident in the water and able to swim at least 25 metres. Ages 8 and above are welcome, and groups stay between one and four people so the coaching stays personal.
No, accommodation is not included in the Zero to Hero Surf Package. You will need to book your own place to stay for the three days.
Your instructor can provide recommendations for nearby options, from hotels to more budget-friendly stays in Newquay, if you would like a starting point before you arrive.
