Family Surf Lessons in Newquay Family
Surfing is a fun and exhilarating activity for you and your kids. At the Escape Surf School, we teach children to surf from 8 years and above and we ask that thay can swim at least 50 metres.
You can book your kids onto our standard group surf lessons*, or we also offer private family surfing lessons, which is a really fun way to spend time with the family and learn to surf.
*if children aged between 8-12 are booked onto Group Surf Lessons, we ask that a parent / guardian also joins them in the water, due to the physicality of the activity. If the parent / guardian is not joining the surf lesson, then we can provide a wetsuit so they can enter the water with the children.

Group Surf Lessons and Courses In Newquay Surf Coach with Two Surfers
All our surf lessons, from the half day to the 6 lesson course are tailored towards your individual level of surfing which we will assess on the day.
On every session, we usually have a mixture of beginners and those that may have had 1 or 2 lessons and perhaps some more advanced surfers, therefore we will usually have at least 2 or 3 instructors coaching; one for each level of surfing
We always assess your ability on the day, and assign you to the correct group this ensures that you will never receive the same lesson twice, as you will progress.
Whether you are a complete beginner or surf regularly, you will benefit from a lesson with the Escape Surf School. As well as teaching the technique and skill of surfing we also place a great emphasis on safety and water awareness. We pride ourselves on being flexible, so if there is not a course to suit you, just give us a call and we can discuss your requirements.
95% of our lessons, take place on Towan Beach, which is a 1 minute walk from the surf school which is an ideal beach for learning and progressing quickly. Occasionally we use Great Western or Fistral beach, all of which are less than 5 minutes walk from the school. So we meet at the school, where we all change into wetsuits, and then proceed to the best beach for the conditions, tides and clients ability.
All our lessons are 2 hours long and include all equipment
We are flexible. If you want to spread your lessons over a few days, you can - at no extra cost, so maybe you would like to have 3 lessons over 6 days, thats fine! 1/2 Day Surf Experience (1 x 2 hour session) - £35 surflessonsnewquay

You only need to use your knees so it is great for kids, parents, or those with limited mobility. Kneeboarding with ESS in Newquay can be taught in the bathing area of a lifeguarded beach, which is great as there is no need to compete with other surfers. You will be straight to your knee's, so you will now have more time to learn the core ingredients of surfing; Using the rails, S-turning, Figure of 8 and Layback.
