Surf Lessons In Perranporth
Learning to surf at Perranporth is about as good a start as you'll get anywhere in the country. Three miles of beach, consistent waves and a surf school with a permanent base right on the sand.
Our standard surf lesson is where most people begin. Two hours in the water, all the equipment included, and coaches who are qualified lifeguards as well as Surfing England accredited. We run them daily in open groups, so you'll be learning alongside other surfers of varying ability.
Most people find one lesson isn't enough, so spreading a few across the week works well. And if a group session isn't the right fit, whether that's because you've got children under 7, you'd rather have a coach to yourselves, or you're booking for a big group, we've got a lesson for that too. They're all further down the page.

Who It's For
- Complete beginners, aged 7 and up

What does the session look like?
- Arrive — get changed at the old Men's Institute base and get kitted out
- The walk down — collect boards from the lock-up, a stone's throw from the surf
- On the sand — safety brief, then the pop-up and positioning
- In the water — the bulk of the two hours, waist to chest depth
- The Loop — your coach places you on the Surfing Ability Measure
- After — hot showers, indoor chill-out area and a coffee
