PRIVATE SURF LESSONS

About private surf lessons

If you are looking for an experience tailored around you then a private lesson is for you. 

Our private surf lessons are totally customisable to your requirements. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer we can facilitate your needs in a bespoke manner. Throughout the session, you will receive constant feedback as you will have 100% of your coach’s time.

With our unique location on Fistral Beach, we can make the most of your lesson time. Whether you are an individual looking to progress, or a family enjoying a surfing experience together we have a vast range of equipment suitable for all abilities and ages (5 years & over).

We recommend that on private lessons with multiple young children, an adult surf buddy accompanies them in the water.  This is free for a parent or guardian accompanying their children who are learning to surf.
