    My two sons had an epic four hours of surfing with Matt today. Matt was a brilliant and knowledgeable instructor and in their words ‘the best’ and ‘amazing’ - especially after doing a head stand on the board! Thank you Matt for your time and for giving them both a great experience surfing in the Cornish Sea! We would recommend Cornish Wave without hesitation and we hope to be back again one day soon.

    First time every surfing, amazing experience. Dan was so good at explaining everything, keeping close eye and notices my mistakes and immediately helping me fixing it. Thanks to him I was able to do several clean wave surfing standing up. Genuinely kind, nice and humble guy. Really recommend it.

    Visited today for a beginners surf class and had an amazing time! Lovely shop with all equipment given to us, followed by a fun but effective safety breefing. Everything was explained clearly and made it easier for us to catch some waves! Would 100% return. It was GREAT fun, recommend to everyone of all ages. Our instructor Judy was amazing too.

    We felt welcomed by staff since our entry into the shop. Although we did not have a proper warm up, except for carrying our boards down to the beach, we spent plenty of time in water practicing. I would definitely do it again!

    We had a brilliant time trying surfing with Nick. With a teenager it can be hard in half term to find activities to do but honestly I would recommend this. We had a really rainy day but to be honest that was great as we got wet anyway! And the sea was warm and waves were amazing. Would definitely go again if in Newquay and tempted to also try the coasteering too as that looks amazing. Thanks guys, was great and would recommend 100 percent.
