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.
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.
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.
Yes you can. While the surf school does close during the winter we can still provide lessons if you give us advance warning.
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.
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.
No prior experience is needed! This package is designed for all levels. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, our instructors and trainers will tailor each activity to match your level and personal goals.
You’ll stay in a comfortable self-catering apartment. Each apartment has a cosy lounge, fully fitted kitchen, and modern amenities, making it easy to prepare meals and relax after an active day.
Yes, if you’d like to add more activities or massages, just let us know in advance. We can arrange additional surf lessons, yoga sessions, or massages to create a customised experience.
