I had an amazing experience at this surf school! I made great progress in a short time thanks to the professional and supportive instructors. They explained everything clearly, gave helpful feedback, and made every lesson fun and motivating. I felt more confident with each session. Highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn or improve their surfing!

We ❤️ Perranporth Surf School! This is always the highlight of our annual 5 day residential to Cornwall and the part that our students (and teachers) remember years later. After 20+ visits, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Patch, Lily and Max were our amazing instructors this year. Kate and Gav have created something really special and it just gets better. Get booked up, you won’t regret it!

We had 2 lessons as a family of 8, 3 children and 5 adults covering 3 generations. Both the instructors we had, Lily & Dan were fantastic, they are situated on the beach so no long walk to the sea (unless the tides out!) very helpful throughout, would highly recommend.

I did one of the two hour lessons while on holiday and it was amazing. Both the instructor and the shop staff were incredibly friendly and helpfull. The lesson itself was fantastic learned a lot and got a lot of time in the water
