Outstanding We had such a great experience with Stoked Surf School! Me and my siblings had a private lesson with Holly who was super friendly and enthusiastic. Despite never having surfed before, all three of us were able to stand up on the boards by the end of the lesson. We will definitely be back!!

Great family experience Family group lesson. From age 13-50. All complete beginners . Ju was so good. We all got to standing in the lesson ( to varying degrees of success ) but we all made it. Would highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant — can't fault them We had a fantastic time with Stoked Surf School. Everything was super well organised, hiring equipment was quick and painless, lessons started on time, and the whole operation just works. Julian, the owner, has clearly put real thought into how the place runs, and it shows. The welcome you get is what sets them apart. No egos, no attitude — just a bunch of genuinely friendly people who want to share their enjoyment of the water, whatever your level. Big thanks to Will, Hollie and Stephen, who were all superb instructors. Experienced, knowledgeable, but most importantly engaging with it. They explained things clearly, gave proper individual feedback, and made the sessions good fun and got everyone involved regardless of the conditions. And a special shout out to the legend that is J-dog. Enough said. Highly recommended. Can't wait to get back there.

Wicked Surf School Such a good experience! Never surfed before but felt welcome and supported throughout. Our instructor Ju was class, loads of little tips and tricks to make the experience better and more successful going from clueless to riding waves standing within 2 hours! Ju also had the professionalism and class personality to have a good laugh at you when it goes wrong too. Will defo be returning and couldn’t recommend more!

Highly recommend Another great experience with stoked surf school. This is the second year in a row my children have had a surf lesson and then hired the board and wetsuit for the rest of the day. The boys had a ball and said all the instructors were very friendly and supportive. The boys felt a lot more confident in the water and were excited to practice what they had learnt after the lesson. Their lesson was at 10am and we didn’t leave the beach until 4pm. Service and communication was friendly and positive before, during and after and we would highly recommend stoked surf school when visiting perranporth. We will be back next year I’m sure

Excellent afternoon learning to surf. Had an excellent afternoon learning to surf with Stoked Surf School, instruction was an excellent mix of theory and practical making sure everyone was safe, knew the basics and were able to get to their feet by the end of the 2 hour lesson. Would definitely recommend Stoked if you’re thinking about learning to surf or wanting to build on previous surf experience. Finally big shout out to Holly our instructor for the afternoon, excellent surf coach who clearly loves what she does.

Private lesson 7 year old Eva had a fantastic time at Stoaked Surf School! 🌊 She absolutely loved her session with Holly, who was a brilliant instructor — friendly, patient and encouraging. From the moment we booked, everyone was so friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience really easy and enjoyable. Eva came away smiling and full of confidence, and she can’t wait to get back in the water. We would definitely recommend Stoaked Surf School and will be back again 🏄‍♀️💙
