Offered from September to May, these full-day (6-hour), highly personalised coaching sessions are the epitome of surf advancement. Key Details Price: One-to-one session: £250 | Two-to-one session: £350 Duration: Full-day session - 6 hours Availability: September to May only Key Skills These sessions are beneficial if you're prepping for a surf trip, aiming to ride bigger waves, or looking for a comprehensive learning experience that goes beyond a regular surf lesson. Our sessions are tailored to you, and we will refine the session content based on your personal surfing goals. However, our focus always spans three core areas: Knowledge: Develop your understanding of ocean dynamics, board behavior, and more. Technique: Perfect your stance, turns, and wave reading. Fitness: Enhance your physical capabilities to match the demands of surfing. Session Breakdown The Specialist Surf Session last 6 hours, and will comprise of the following: Two Water Sessions: Practical, hands-on surfing with immediate feedback. Theory Time: In-depth discussions to deepen your understanding of surfing. Equipment Trial: A chance to try out different boards to find your perfect match. Location We’re proudly situated in the five-star Headland Hotel. You’ll find us right under the Terrace Bar, overlooking Fistral Beach. Look for the surfboards and our sign; we never meet down on the beach, always at our hub. When you book, you will receive the precise address. Prerequisites There are no prerequisites in terms of experience level - you can be a complete beginner. It is worth detailing in the comments when you book what your previous experience is so that we can match you with the perfect instructor for you. Please kindly arrive on time, as start times are scheduled according to tides. Your start time will be confirmed when you book, based on the tide times for that day. Why Choose Us? Our coaches have decades of surfing and teaching experience across multiple disciplines. We aim for your personal growth, focusing on fun and self-development, not just ticking off technical boxes. Our location on Fistral Beach is a surfer's dream. We can’t wait to ride the waves with you! ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 6-hour surfing session including 2 in-water sessions, on-shore theory and opportunity to try different types of boards All necessary kit (surfboards, wetsuits, and personal protection gear) Changing rooms, showers, and toilets at the surf school ### What’s not included Towels and swimwear - please bring these with you Transportation to and from our centre Food/drink - please bring refreshments with you and/or some cash as there are plenty of great choices around the beach ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### What do I need to bring? Just bring a towel and swimming costume/shorts or similar to wear under the wetsuits. Wetsuits, surfboards (and in cooler months boots, gloves and hoods) are all provided and included in the lesson price. ### When and where do we meet? Please come to our surf centre at the arranged time for your lesson, no need to come early. Your start time will be confirmed once you book, based on tide times for the day. We will send over our exact address upon booking confirmation, but we are situated at the Headland Hotel, Fistral Beach. ### What if the weather is bad? Safety and lesson quality are our prime directives. If we cannot fulfill these, we will postpone your lesson. That said, surfing is a very robust sport and can be practiced safely and enjoyably in conditions that might seem adverse if you are not a regular visitor to the sea. The decision to run or postpone the lesson will be made by the lead instructor. In this case, we will contact you and offer alternative dates and times for your session. ### Why is the start time not listed? We pre-plan all of our lesson start times through the year according to the tides; Fistral is best around the lower to mid-tide ranges (though can be fine on a neap high) so if you are surfing with us each day, the start time will change. Once you make your booking, we will confirm your start time according to the tides on the day. However, as this is a 6-hour session, you will need to be available for the full day on the day you have booked with us. ### How deep do we go? For beginner lessons, you can expect to be able to touch the sea floor with your feet at all times. Typically, it will be around waist-depth. Advanced lessons are run 'out the back' in deep water. ### Is the water clean? Cornwall is blessed with clean seas! It is also largely free from biting things! You might see the odd jellyfish but your wetsuit will protect you. Weavers are small fish that lurk in the shallows around low tide. They sting if you step on them. The treatment is to immerse your foot in hot water to denature the sting. You might be lucky enough to see seals and even dolphins! ### Do I need to be a really strong swimmer? Not as a beginner. Much of the work will be done 'on foot', pushing the board out and then jumping onto it to catch a wave in from standing depths. Pool swimming skills do not translate to the surf environment in any meaningful way; being comfortable with your head going underwater and being strong enough to carry the surfboard down to the beach are more relevant abilities. We do not put clients in situations where they have to rely on their own swimming ability. ### I have a medical condition that may impact my ability to surf, can I still book? Surfing is a wonderfully adaptable sport, you are definitely encouraged to get in touch to discuss your requirements with us once you have cleared it with your doctor as there is usually something we can work out. Surfing is fun and healthy, and being active is safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. If going surfing would mean you would become much more physically active than you are now, please answer the questions below. Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions! Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical exercise recommended by a doctor? Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee, or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity? Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs for your blood pressure or heart condition? Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? If you answered yes to one or more questions, speak with your doctor and tell them which questions you answered yes to. Explain you wish to go surfing and follow their advice. If you answered no honestly to all questions you can be reasonably sure that you can sta… ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/4b4984066015df12cfc4e8f6d60b7147/2023/08/Bespoke-surf-2-scaled-1.webp - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## 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.
