Gift vouchers for surf lessons are available - an ideal present for family and friends.

Godrevy/Gwithian is the perfect venue
for surf lessons:-

  • Due to the gently sloping nature of the beach the surf forms and breaks very slowly giving aspiring surfers more time to get to their feet.
  • Owing to the generous 'fetch' of the Atlantic Ocean Gwithian beach gets rideable surf year round.
  • Thanks to the Gulf Stream and the natural heat retaining properties of St Ives Bay the sea water is comparatively warm.
  • Gwithian Beach is highly recommended by the 'Marine Conservation Society's' Good Beach Guide 2007
  • Gwithian is a beautiful place!

All the equipment you will need such as wetsuits and surfboards are of the finest quality and safe for use by beginners and experts of any age group.

Our surf school is proud to have a 90% success rate for getting our students 'up and riding' in the first lesson.
