Cornwall Surf Academy

Surf lessons

Cornwall Surf Academy has been providing quality surf lessons since 2003. The CSA team is made of quality and enthusiastic surf instructors, all with ISA (International Surfing Association) and beach lifeguard training. A single two hour surf lesson teaches you the very essence of surfing, the two major skills that every surfer needs to know; how to catch waves and how to stand on your board. It is the perfect entry into the sport and lifestyle! We are one of the closest Surf Schools to Truro and St Austell so conveniently located in the National Trust beach of Holywell Bay a beautiful and relaxed location away from the busy crowded main beach resorts.

On the day

We will meet at the surf location before getting you all suited up and ready to go. Once on the beach the most important thing to us is your safety so we begin with a compulsory safety brief.. We then concentrate on the techniques involved with catching waves and standing up on your board. We appreciate that you are probably itching to get in the water so we dont spend too much time on the beach however it is important to learn the basics on the stable platform that the beach offers before heading into the surf to give it a go!

In the first few sessions you wont be any deeper than chest deep water, there is plenty to learn and once youve mastered the basics we can take you a bit deeper.

Dont forget to smile throughout your session as you may well be photographed so that you can impress your mates with some evidence of you standing up for the first time! It is an amazing feeling so come and give it a go for yourself.
