The Escape Surf School Newquay Cornwall

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, that’s fine!

Group Discounts are available, just ask for details, or check out our group bookings section

The prices include board and wetsuit (and boots, gloves & hoods if required) there are no hidden charges.
