We attended the Family Surf Lesson on Fistral Beach with our instructor Willow, and our two children aged 6 and 8.. This is one of the best activities we’ve done with our kids on a holiday, we all absolutely loved it. Willow was really friendly, very patient, and absolutely amazing with our children showing them the ropes in the shallower waters whilst he encouraged us to try and catch a wave a little deeper. It’s great fun and amazing to see your children catch a wave just right. We practised lay down and then attempted to stand up, which the kids managed better than us. Ours was a private group with just our family. I’d highly recommend this activity and thank you Willow for making it so enjoyable.

My wife and 9 year old son had a private surf lesson with Victor. He was really helpful and patient with them. They hadn't tried it before, they had a great time. Thank you.

Really enjoyable afternoon surfing with my three daughters (age 7-11). Friendly and helpful instruction from Max. All three were standing on their boards and are keen for more. Thank you so much.

I took my kids surfing for the first time (8, 11 and 14) with Cornish Wave and it was brilliant! We had such a good time! everything was included, explained very well... Was fun and we all managed to catch a few waves and stand up on the board! The kids loved it and would recommend it to any family that has not been surfing before!
