My Son recently had the chance to try coasteering with Cornish Wave for the first time, and I can honestly say it was one of the most exhilarating and rewarding experiences of his life. Imagine scrambling over rugged cliffs, exploring hidden sea caves, leaping from rock ledges into the crystal-clear sea, and letting the waves carry along dramatic coastlines — all in one unforgettable session for him. I wish can give 1000/1000 to Cornish Wave.

We booked a family surf lesson for my children (8 & 11 yrs) and my husband. All apart from husband had no experience. Lucy our instructor looked after us. Super friendly and super helpful. We all had a wonderful time and loved how she broke down the lesson into two parts,so we first got a taster of how to manage to the board and then how to attempt to stand. My son was standing in no time and I even managed to attempt standing by the end. Such a fantastic experience, highly recommend.

The experience was everything we had hoped for! The instructors were fab and supported my youngest when he had 'a moment', encouraging him, so that he achieved a jump into the water, overcoming his fear and making his day. Well recommended!
