About the Experience
Surfing Experience Days: Enjoy two hours of private surfing tuition with a friend, then spend the afternoon honing your new skills in the waves.
The Cornish coastline is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and world-class surf, making Fistral Beach, the heart of British surfing, the perfect place to begin your journey. Unlike typical group lessons, this Private Surfing Lesson offers focused, personalised guidance—ideal for quickly developing confidence and improving your technique.
Upon arrival at the International Surfing Centre, you’ll meet your instructor and get suited up in wetsuits. Once kitted out with the right surfboard, a short walk to the water’s edge will see you learning the fundamentals on dry land, from paddling to “popping up.” Then the real fun begins: wade into the waves and, with your instructor’s support, start catching your first surfable waves. Don’t worry if it takes a few tries—practice makes perfect!
After your two hours of tuition, you can refuel at the centre’s food and drink facilities before returning to the water to continue practising independently for the rest of the day.
This Private Surfing Lesson for Two in Newquay is the ideal gift for adventure lovers, thrill-seekers, or anyone who’s ever dreamed of riding the waves like a pro, making it a memorable year-round outdoor experience.
