You'll then get kitted out in high-quality gear before heading onto the beach for a warm-up and dry-land instruction tailored to your group. From there, it’s into the water, where your coach works closely with you to help reach your individual or shared goals—whether that’s catching your first wave, refining your paddle technique, or learning to turn on green waves. Coaching is adapted to suit the pace of the group, particularly if young children are included. Each session is carefully designed to maximise both fun and progression, using easy-to-learn techniques and close support throughout. After your lesson, you’re welcome to keep surfing for another hour using all of the equipment, giving you more time to practise in your own time with full access to the beach. Location Lessons are based at Gwithian Beach, a well-known surf spot on the north coast of Cornwall offering great waves for all abilities. However, surf conditions can change quickly, so your exact beach location may be updated in advance to ensure a safe and enjoyable session. If needed, we’ll switch to a nearby beach where the waves are more suitable and keep you fully informed. Prerequisites All participants must be able to swim 25 metres unaided in open water. Children aged 5+ can take part in private sessions, but it's important to note that the group will follow the pace of the youngest surfer. No previous surfing experience is… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included All equipment (surfboard, wetsuit, rash vest, boots if needed) 2-hour private surf lesson tailored to your group Top-quality surf gear no older than 2 years Private changing rooms, toilets, and secure lockers Free extra hour of surf hire after your lesson ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Personal insurance Food and drink Photographs or video footage of the session ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Can we customise the content of our private surf lesson? Absolutely. Every private session is built around the needs of your group. Whether you're keen to help your child catch their first wave, work on turning techniques, or simply want a relaxed, fun day in the sea with friends, your instructor will adjust the session accordingly. If you’d like to include specific elements—such as video analysis, ocean safety training, or paddling technique—just let us know in advance and we’ll shape the lesson around it. ### What’s the benefit of booking a private lesson instead of joining a group? Private lessons offer greater flexibility and more direct feedback from your coach, which often leads to faster progress. You’ll have the freedom to move at your own pace, focus on your personal goals, and spend more time in the water with guidance that's completely tailored. For families or mixed-ability groups, private sessions also allow everyone to participate together without the pressure of keeping up with others. ### What if there are young children in our group? Children aged 5 and up are welcome in private lessons. If there are younger surfers involved, the coach will set the pace and content of the lesson to suit them. That may mean spending more time close to shore, using smaller boards, or breaking up the session into shorter bursts. While older or more confident surfers can still progress during these lessons, it's important to know that the flow of the session will generally be led by the youngest participant’s comfort and stamina. ### Can we choose the time of our private surf lesson? Yes, we offer flexible start times to fit around your plans. Once you book, we’ll confirm a time slot that suits you and also aligns with the best surf conditions that day. We keep a close eye on swell, wind and tide to ensure your lesson takes place in the safest and most productive part of the day. If conditions at Gwithian aren’t suitable, we’ll offer a nearby alternative with a similar set-up and keep you fully informed of any changes. ### Is it possible to have more than one coach for our group? Yes. For larger private groups, or if your group includes a wide range of ages or abilities, we may assign additional instructors to maintain a low student-to-coach ratio. This ensures everyone gets personalised guidance and time in the water with a coach. For example, if your group includes a mix of confident teens and younger children, we may split you into sub-groups during the session for the most effective coaching. ### What facilities are available before and after the lesson? You’ll have access to private changing rooms, toilets and secure lockers right next to the beach. These facilities are exclusively for our lesson participants, allowing you to get changed in comfort and store your valuables safely. After your 2-hour session, you'll also receive an additional hour of surf hire with all the same high-quality equipment, giving you more time to practise what you’ve learned in your own time. ### Do you offer lessons specifically for younger children under 8? Yes, we offer specially tailored Young Gun sessions designed exclusively for children under 8 years old. These sessions are always run as private lessons with a maximum of 1–2 participants, allowing our instructors to focus entirely on your child’s comfort, safety, and early surf development. We use smaller boards, stay close to shore, and break the session into short, engaging segments to keep it fun and manageable. If you’re interested in booking, just reach out through the a dventuro chat below and we’ll help set everything up for you. ### Can we book more than one private surf lesson? Definitely. You can book up to 5 private lessons as part of a multi-session package, ideal for those who want to build confidence or progress steadily over a few days. Whether you're planning a family surf week, preparing for a surf trip abroad, or just want to make the most of your time in Cornwall, we’ll help you build a plan that suits your schedule and goals.
