🏄‍♂️What to Expect

After meeting at our surf school and getting kitted out with wetsuits and boards, your group will start with a land-based introduction to surfing. Your instructor will go over ocean safety, wave selection, and the fundamental techniques needed to get up and riding. Whether you’re brand new to surfing or have tried it before, the session will be tailored to suit all experience levels.

Once in the water, the real fun begins! You'll practise paddling, catching waves, and standing up on the board with guidance from your instructor. For those who are more experienced, we’ll help refine your technique and push your skills further. Large groups often bring great energy to the session, with plenty of encouragement and laughter as everyone gets involved.

If you’re celebrating a stag or hen party, we can add some fun challenges, and for school groups, we offer structured learning objectives to keep students engaged. The session will finish with a recap on progress made, and your instructor will offer tips on how to keep improving.

📍Location

Perranporth is one of Cornwall’s most popular surf spots, with a huge sandy beach and consistent waves that are perfect for all abilities. The surf school is located right by the beach, making it easy for your group to get from dry land to the waves in no time. The beach is known for its gentle rolling waves at low tide, which are ideal for learning, while more advanced surfers can find challenging sections further out.

Beyond the surf, Perranporth has plenty to offer. The beach itself stretches for over two miles, providing plenty of space to relax before or after your session. There are cafés, pubs, and shops nearby where you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a post-surf drink while watching the waves. It’s a fantastic setting for a fun and memorable group day out.
