See private coachingYour first lesson, simply explained
Wetsuit, soft-top board and safety briefing included.
We start with the conditions, the plan and a relaxed introduction to your equipment.
Your instructor covers water awareness, board handling and the pop-up before you head in.
We stay in beginner-friendly water and keep the group small enough for real guidance.
A Cornish way in
“The best first lesson is the one that leaves you feeling capable enough to come back.”
We choose beginner-friendly conditions and explain the why behind every decision, so the sea feels less mysterious and more like somewhere you belong.
Ready when you are
Start with the option that feels like you. We’ll take care of the rest when you arrive at the beach.
