Spend the day making the most of the Cornish coast with high-quality surf hire available directly from Gwithian Beach. Whether you're heading out for a solo surf, bringing the family for a beach day, or organising a group activity, the centre provides a wide variety of surf and watersports equipment to suit all levels and interests. With everything from beginner boards to SUPs and sea kayaks, you’ll be ready for whatever the sea throws your way.
The hire centre is based right on the edge of Gwithian Beach in Hayle, one of Cornwall’s most popular surf spots. Known for its long sandy beach and consistent waves, Gwithian is ideal for both beginners and more confident surfers. The centre is located at 10 Gwithian Towans, just above the beach, making access to the water quick and simple.
In the event of poor conditions at Gwithian, you'll be offered a nearby alternative with similar facilities and easy access, so your day doesn’t go to waste.
There are no experience requirements for hiring equipment, though some items such as sea kayaks or SUPs may require basic water confidence, especially on days with swell.
Staff will help you choose the right gear and give advice on safe use before you head out.
The centre has built a strong reputation over the past two decades, becoming one of the UK’s most respected surf and coasteering schools. With a focus on quality, safety, and a genuinely personal touch, the team works hard to create memorable days on the Cornish coast.

From expert equipment guidance to thoughtful local knowledge, the centre makes it easy for everyone to enjoy the ocean with confidence.
We offer a wide range of surfboards suitable for all levels. Our selection includes soft-top boards for beginners, hard-top boards for more experienced surfers, and performance boards for those refining their technique.
Our surf hire specialists will help guide you towards the best board based on your ability and preferences.
No experience is necessary to hire equipment.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced surfer, we have the right equipment for you. If you're new to surfing, our staff will offer advice on the best equipment for your level and ensure you feel confident before heading out.
If the conditions at Gwithian Beach aren't ideal, we will offer an alternative nearby location with similar facilities.
We aim to ensure you have the best experience possible, no matter the weather, and we'll guide you to the most suitable spot for your equipment.

Coasterring with Lizard adventure. Great day out. Rory was great with us. Got some sea snacks along the way. Great jumps for all levels. Saw the seals. All in all a great day out
I was impressed that Steve contacted me to ask if my adolescents would like a more adventurous experience and tailored the coasteering to them. They all had a great time - came back exhilarated and exhausted. Thanks also for taking some great photos
We had a fab time with Steve guiding us. A wide range of abilities and Steve enabled us all to meet our challenges and succeed. Highly recommend this as an amazing activity. Thumbs up for Steve. Thank you.
Five stars great fun and engaging and entertaining hosting!
It was great and our guide was very enthusiastic, personable and conscientious. Thankyou!
Absolutely fabulous. Chris(?) the instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful but also definitely a ‘people person’. It was my first ever time and I loved every second of it. Will definitely do again. But wanting to make this a frequent thing for me. Sad to think it may not be…
Adam was a very knowledgeable and seemingly very experienced guide on our sea kayaking adventure from Mullion Cove. We had a great time, paddling alongside seals and in and out of caves and coves.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
