This two-hour beginner lesson at South Fistral is for ages 8 and up, with a board and wetsuit included. You'll cover ocean safety and the pop-up on the sand, then practise catching waves with a qualified instructor in a group of no more than eight. Whether it's your first time or you want to tidy up the basics, you'll leave with a solid foundation and more confidence in the water.
Your session will begin with a warm welcome and an introduction to the basics of surfing. The instructor will explain ocean safety, wave selection, and how to handle your board both in and out of the water. You'll then move onto dry land practice, where you'll learn how to pop up on your board and position yourself correctly to maintain balance.
Once in the water, you'll put your new skills to the test with the instructor guiding you every step of the way. They'll provide hands-on coaching to help you catch your first waves and stand up confidently. Throughout the session, you'll receive personalised feedback to help improve your technique. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a solid understanding of surfing fundamentals and feel more comfortable in the ocean.
