“Our 15-year-old had an amazing time learning to surf with Quiksilver Surf School. We booked a block of 5 lessons and couldn’t be more impressed with the whole experience.”
Meet the Newquay Activity Centre on Fore Street for a two-hour beginner lesson led by instructors such as Alex. You’ll learn beach safety, practise on sand, then try stand-up surfing at Great Western or Fistral Beach with a wetsuit, ID vest, locker, and stable foam board provided.
“The instructors were super friendly/ patient and nice! Although for a beginner class I think it's important to take less students in a group so that the instructor can focus more with each person since it's a completely new activity for some of us. Other than that I recommend the surfing class and I would definitely do it again!”

She is also local and her love of this part of the coast is truly evident. We were met promptly at the meeting point, provided with all the equipment we would need and then carried the boards to the beach.
