Taking place on Newquay’s famous surf beaches, the weekend focuses on helping participants develop strong surfing foundations while improving wave awareness, board control, and overall confidence in the sea. 🌊 Key Details Duration: 2 days Location: Fistral Beach and Tolcarne Beach, Newquay Minimum Age: 8 years old Experience Level: Beginner 🏄 Key Skills Wave selection and timing Board control and positioning Pop-up and standing technique Surf safety and awareness Paddling and wave catching 🌅 What to Expect Saturday begins with introductions, goal setting, and the first coached surf session of the weekend. Coaches focus on the key foundations needed for beginner progression, including paddling, wave timing, pop-up techniques, and positioning on the board. Sessions take place in manageable surf conditions suited to beginner surfers, helping participants build confidence gradually while spending plenty of time in the water. Following the first surf session, instructors review footage and discuss individual progress before heading back into the sea for further coaching later in the day. Repeated water sessions allow participants to immediately practise the feedback they receive, helping techniques become more natural through repetition and guidance. Small coaching groups also allow instructors to adapt advice around individual strengths and areas needing improvement. Sunday begins with a breakfast board meeting where surfers review video footage from the previous day alongside the coaching team. Goals and focus areas are discussed before heading into the final coached surf session of the weekend. Equipment remains available afterwards, allowing participants to continue practising independently and make the most of their time in the water before heading home. 📍 Location Most sessions take place on Fistral Beach, one of the UK’s best-known surf beaches thanks to its reliable swell and wide sandy shoreline. Conditions here are suitable for beginner progression throughout much of the year, while nearby Tolcarne Beach provides an alternative location when smaller or more sheltered surf conditions are preferred. Positioned on Cornwall’s north coast, Newquay has a long-standing surf culture and offers excellent access to beaches, coastal walks, cafés, and sea vi… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 3 coached surf sessions Surfboard hire Wetsuit hire Use of equipment throughout the weekend Video analysis and feedback Breakfast board meeting Changing room access Hot showers Photos and video footage from the weekend Progress reviews and goal setting ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Accommodation Lunches and evening meals Swimwear and towels Personal insurance ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Is this weekend suitable for complete beginners? Yes, the weekend is designed specifically for beginner surfers and those still developing confidence in the water. Coaching focuses on building strong foundations gradually through repeated practice and instructor feedback. Participants who have tried surfing before but still struggle with standing consistently or understanding waves also benefit from the structured coaching format. ### How much surfing is included across the weekend? The weekend includes three coached surf sessions spread across the two days, along with use of equipment outside of lesson times. Participants are encouraged to continue practising independently whenever energy levels allow. Having repeated water sessions close together often helps surfers improve much faster than occasional single lessons. ### What happens during the breakfast board meeting? Sunday morning begins with a breakfast session where instructors review video footage from the previous day while discussing individual progression and focus areas for the final surf session. Watching footage back helps participants understand their positioning, timing, and movement more clearly before returning to the water. ### Do I need to bring my own equipment? No personal surf equipment is required. A wide selection of surfboards and wetsuits is included throughout the weekend, allowing instructors to choose equipment suited to different abilities and conditions. Participants who already own a suitable beginner board are welcome to bring it if preferred. ### What beaches are used during the weekend? Fistral Beach is the main coaching location thanks to its reliable surf conditions and direct beach access. Depending on the forecast, nearby Tolcarne Beach may also be used when conditions are better suited to beginner progression. Using different beaches when needed helps instructors provide safer and more manageable surf throughout the weekend. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-14-122456.png - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
