Really great lesson, whole family enjoyed it and wanted to do more! We had a private lesson which was 2hrs, which was very good value for the length of time given in the water. Our teacher Dylan was a fantastic teacher, so friendly and really patient with my youngest. He gave the children - but particularly our youngest - extra help and attention to make sure he was safe in the water the whole time. All staff at the school are very personable and friendly. We all want to have more lessons, we will come back next time we are in Cornwall.

I've been with ShoreSurf for the last three years, and I honestly can't recommend them enough. It's one of the best surf schools in Cornwall. I've not only learned so much about surfing, but I've also met some amazing people through the surf club who have become great friends. The club sessions are always fun, welcoming, and really well organised. The coaches are supportive, encouraging, and always make sure everyone feels safe in the water, no matter their ability. For me, ShoreSurf has become much more than just a place to surf. Every time I come out of a session, I feel happier and more balanced. It's been such a positive part of my life and I'm really grateful to be part of the club!

My sons had their first surfing lesson on 28/06 and they absolutely loved it! The whole experience was brilliant and they enjoyed it so much they went back for another lesson the next day. The instructors, equipment, lesson etc was 5 star. The boys had an instructor called Perry (I hope I got his name right) who made their second day even more enjoyable, he was brilliant with them both and didn’t take his eyes off them so knew they were in safe hands. The boys learnt a lot, even managed to get up standing on the boards and now have a new found love for surfing. Thank you Perry and to all the team for making this such a memorable experience for them, we’ll be back for sure.

We had such a great time with Shore Surf School. Perry and Xavier were our instructors. They were really patient, calm, and easy to get along with, which made the whole experience a lot less intimidating as beginners. My brother and I had never surfed before, so being able to stand up and catch our first few waves felt like a huge achievement. Perry and Xavier were encouraging throughout and gave us the confidence to keep trying until we got it. The whole place has a really friendly, relaxed vibe. All the equipment was provided, and it was great having private areas to get changed and cleaned up after the lesson. Would definitely recommend Shore Surf School to anyone thinking of giving surfing a go. We had an absolute blast! 🌊🏄‍♂️🤙

Even though it was an extremely windy day with a strong current, I had no worries enrolling my son in his first surf lesson as I knew he would be safe with the instructor. He was fully equipped for his session and thoroughly enjoyed his lesson. After a quick break for lunch he then returned in the afternoon to hire some boards and wetsuits to go in the sea with his dad. All the staff were polite and professional, I would definitely recommend.
