As a 44 year old novice I was more that a little apprehensive at taking my first surfing lesson. I was immediately put at ease by Sarah who was patient and reassuring. We quickly got through the basics and got in the water. Within the hour I was standing up and riding into the shore! I can't commend the school,... More

We (4 work mates) have just returned from a 4 day break in padstow. We booked 3 surfing lessons. We were all a little apprehensive but ended up having a fab time. Our instructor Sarah was patient, knowledgable and put a lot of effort into helping us. We weren't cold at all as we were all provided with winter wetsuits... More

We had a paddleboarding lesson and it was fantastic. The instructor (Chris) was very patient and a great teacher and made sure the lesson was fun and at our own pace. Great experience and would highly recommend. The added bonus is that we had the lesson in the Camel estuary with Padstow and Rock in the distance. Lovely view.

I have used Harlyn Surf School for the last three years and always have an excellent experience. We have just returned from this year's college residential and my 20 students aged between 16-19 yrs love having a go at surfing. The instructors are always well prepared, professional and have safety first. There is a risk assessment available and all needs... More

He even managed to convince us to let him go the second week of our holiday too! He stood up very quickly and passed his grade 3 surf level,and wants to do more... More

Just came home from 3 week in Cornwall with my husband and two kids aged 10 and 13. The surf school is the best we've ever been to! We arrived at Harlyn for lessons in rain and wind, but it didn't matter as we got supplied long warm wetsuits that kept us warm for the whole 2hours. The staff were... More

First time we had tried surfing, all hooked and looking for similar experience on our next holiday. 2 hour lesson, great friendly staff and by the end most of us were standing or very nearly. Didnt think it would be for us, so all i can say is give it a go.

My partner and I booked the 2pm session on a rainy blustery day. The waves were quite rough but a great challenge. The staff were so friendly and chatty and full of advice. I had a really great time and learnt allot with the supervision and knowledge of our instructor. I left with a big grin on my face.
