About our Family Surf Lessons. For the 2020 season we will be offering our family surf lesson packages from our beach bases at Gwithian Towans and Praa Sands, where we have inputted COVID-19 Secure Guidelines to ensure customer and staff safety.

Both Gwithian and Praa Sands and very family friendly surf spots. Families make up the majority of our customers base from July September. We work on an unbeatable 1:8 instructor to student ratio, children 8+ can surf unaided however to ensure any younger siblings dont miss out we are happy for children aged 5-7 to join the lesson as long as they are assisted by a family member. There is not a better family experience to share in Cornwall than surfing, whether its the thrill of all the family standing up and sharing a Party Wave or whether its the entertainment of watching each other wipeout in spectacular fashion.

All of our equipment is kept to the highest standards and is no more than 2 years old. All you will need to bring is a towel, swimsuit and hopefully suncream and our team will do the rest!

Booking your lesson in advance is essential as we have limited number of lesson slots each day to ensure the ultimate uncrowded customer experience.
