We are situated by the Lula Shack (formally the Rockpool Bar & Grill) just outside the seaside village of Gwithian. The surf school and shop is within a 15-minute drive from St Ives and Hayle and only 30 minutes away from the bustling seaside towns of Penzance and Newquay. To find us by car, take the Hayle Exit (near M&S) from the A30. Just after the Hayle Exit Roundabout you will see a Double Roundabout. Take the Third Exit onto the B3301 to Gwithian. Drive for approximately 3 miles. Drive through the village of Gwithian. Turn left after the humpback bridge. You will find us in a building just to the right of Lula’s. ### Do you surf when it's raining? Yes, we do. With surfing you tend to get very wet anyway so it’s an activity that rain doesn’t affect too much. However, we wouldn’t go in to the sea if there was thunder & lightning, fog and mist, or during a hailstorm. ### How fit do I need to be to take a surfing lesson? We ask that all our customers be able to swim at least 50m in open water, be at least 6 years of age, and free from any medical problem that might put you, our coaches, or other customers, at risk. You don’t need to be a marathon runner or Olympic swimmer to take part but if you have a chance to do a few lengths in a swimming pool in the weeks before your lesson it will make surfing a lot easier for you. However, don’t worry if you haven’t been to the pool in years, you will still be able to achieve a lot during the lessons and even just catching a wave is one of the simplest pleasures that there is. ### Can you do surfing lessons in the winter? Yes you can. While the surf school does close during the winter we can still provide lessons if you give us advance warning. ### What should I bring? The most important thing is to bring something to wear underneath your wetsuit. Something thin like a bathing costume or speedos are ideal as they are comfortable and won’t bunch up. Underwear and boxers will do but you should avoid swimming shorts, trunks or t-shirts as they can be uncomfortable. You should also bring a towel, a good quality high-factor sunscreen and some flip flops or old shoes for the walk to the beach. ### Are surfboards and wetsuits provided? Yes, they are. All of the equipment that you need for a surfing lesson are provided free of charge. This includes surfboards, wetsuits and, during the colder months, gloves, booties and hood. You even get to use them for an extra 1.5 hours after each lesson if you want to stay out practising. ### How long is the lesson? All surfing lessons are 2 hours long. We advise that you check-in for your lesson 30 minutes beforehand. ### What time should I arrive for my lesson? Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled lesson time for check-in, equipment fitting, and a brief introduction. For morning lessons, check-in is at 9:30am for a 10:00am start, and for afternoon lessons, check-in is at 1:00pm for a 1:30pm start. ### Can I book a private lesson for a group? Yes! Private lessons can be booked for up to 8 people. The fewer people in your group, the more personalised attention each person will receive. It’s a great way to learn with friends or family, and it's also popular for children’s birthday parties. We can also arrange larger groups upon request, with multiple instructors. We still to a maximum of 8 participants per instructor to ensure you get the most out of your lesson. ### Is there parking available at the surf school? Yes, we offer ample parking facilities year-round, even during the busy summer months. Our location is also just a short, easy walk to the beach, so you won’t have to worry about long treks with your gear. ### Can we continue to use the boards after the lesson? Yes! We offer an hour of hire for free after the lesson, so you can keep practicing your new-found skills! ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/1c552df37fd53ddaad2f4dd96cb22650/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-07.31.22.webp - **Gallery image count**: 8 ## 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.
