Spend a weekend focused on surfing with our women’s surf coaching sessions at Fistral Beach, Newquay. Designed for all abilities, these weekends combine professional coaching, practical water time, and group activities that help you progress while having fun. With dedicated instructors, surf theory, and video analysis, you’ll leave with new skills, confidence, and great memories.
Weekend Package:
The weekend is designed as a full coaching experience. On Saturday, you’ll enjoy a full day from 9am–5pm, including two surf lessons, theory sessions, video feedback, and time to practise in the water. Sunday runs from 9am–3pm with another lesson, guided practice, and group discussions to review progress and set goals. Over the two days you’ll get three surf lessons, multiple feedback sessions, and plenty of time to build your skills with support from the coaching team.
Day Package:
If you can only join for one day, you’ll still get a complete surf experience. The day package includes two lessons, running from 9am–5pm, with coaching tailored to your level. You’ll also take part in theory and video/photo analysis, giving you the same professional feedback as the weekend surfers, just condensed into a single day.
For both packages, surfers are grouped by ability to ensure personalised coaching. Beginners focus on water confidence and riding white water waves. Improvers work on catching green waves, trimming, and turning. Intermediates refine paddling out, linking manoeuvres, and building style on the wave face. With additional extras like surf stretch sessions, Q&A, and a range of boards to try, every participant leaves feeling stronger in the water.
The sessions take place on Fistral Beach in Newquay, one of the UK’s most famous surfing destinations. Its consistent waves, wide sandy beach, and vibrant surf culture make it an ideal setting for learning and progression at any level.
Newquay itself offers plenty to explore outside of surf time, from coastal walks and cafés to a thriving surf scene. The surf school is based right on Esplanade Road, with easy beach access, free parking, and excellent facilities, making it a convenient and welcoming base for the weekend.
An optional accommodation package is available at the 4-star Esplanade Hotel, located just a short walk from South Fistral. The hotel overlooks the sea and provides modern, comfortable rooms perfect for relaxing after a full day of surfing.
Guests staying here can enjoy full breakfasts each morning in the Cove Restaurant, as well as use of the indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, adults-only bar, and private cinema. It’s an ideal place to unwind while staying close to the surf school and the beach.
No previous surf experience is required, as groups are tailored to different ability levels. Beginners, improvers, and intermediates are all welcome.
Participants should feel comfortable in the sea and be prepared for full days of activity. All equipment is provided, and lessons are adjusted to suit your individual starting point.
The centre is a Surfing England Centre of Excellence with top-class facilities including indoor changing rooms, hot showers, lockers, and a wide range of surfboards and wetsuits. All equipment hire is included for the weekend, giving you the chance to try out different boards and improve with the right kit for your level.
The instructor team is highly qualified and experienced in coaching women at all levels. With professional guidance, supportive coaching methods, and excellent facilities right by the beach, it’s the perfect place to accelerate your surf skills and enjoy a memorable weekend.
Not at all. The weekend is designed to be accessible for all levels, whether you’ve never touched a surfboard before or you’re already catching green waves. Our instructors will split participants into ability-based groups so that coaching is relevant to your skills and experience.
Beginners will focus on water confidence, balance, and riding white water waves, while improvers and intermediates progress to catching unbroken waves and refining turns. Each group works at a comfortable pace with an instructor dedicated to their level.
The weekend package includes three surf lessons across two days, surf theory sessions, video and photo analysis, and feedback both in and out of the water. You’ll also enjoy a surf stretch session, Q&A time with instructors, and access to a range of boards to try.
In addition, equipment hire is included from 9am–6pm, so you can practise outside lesson time if you wish. Lunch, tea and coffee, indoor changing facilities, hot showers, lockers, and even a goody bag are also part of the package.
The one-day package is a condensed version of the full weekend, but it still provides a comprehensive surf experience. You’ll take part in two surf lessons between 9am and 5pm, along with theory discussions and video/photo analysis.
It’s a great option if you can’t commit to the full two days, or if you’d like to try out the format before joining a full weekend in the future. You’ll still benefit from professional coaching and the supportive group environment.
All surf equipment including boards, wetsuits, and accessories is provided, so there’s no need to bring your own unless you prefer to. We do recommend bringing swimwear for under your wetsuit, a towel, warm clothes for after the session, and sunscreen.
It’s also useful to pack a water bottle and any personal items you may want for the beach. If you’re staying for the weekend, don’t forget toiletries, evening clothing, and any extras you’d like for downtime outside of surf hours.
Surfing is physically active, but you don’t need to be super fit to join. The sessions are structured to match your current fitness and surf level, with breaks and rest times built in. As long as you feel comfortable spending time in the sea, you’ll be able to participate.
If you’re looking to improve your fitness before the weekend, light swimming and stretching can be helpful. During the course itself, our team will guide you through warm-ups and surf-specific stretches to support your body in the water.
If you add the accommodation package, you’ll stay at the 4-star Esplanade Hotel, just a few minutes’ walk from South Fistral. It includes two nights in a standard room, breakfast each morning, and full use of the hotel facilities such as the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and private cinema.
This option is perfect if you want a convenient, comfortable place to stay right by the beach. It makes the weekend feel like a complete getaway and allows you to relax after a full day of surfing without worrying about travel.
Many women attend the weekends solo, so you’ll be in good company if you decide to come on your own. The group is supportive and welcoming, and surfing is a great way to bond with new people.
If you prefer to join with friends, you’ll also be able to share the experience together, whether in the water, over lunch, or relaxing afterwards. Either way, you’ll leave with new connections and shared memories.
