The Cornish coast is famous for its beautiful beaches and the perfect waves for surfing, and the sport is extremely popular among the locals there, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t take part when you go on your holiday. Cornwall has many different surf schools that can help you learn to ride the waves like a pro, even if you’re a complete beginner!
Escape Surf School
The Escape Surf School, which is based in Newquay, has been teaching surfing for over 17 years and their teaching team boasts two ex-professional surfers. The school offers surfing lessons for beginners, intermediate level and advanced level surfers.
