Blue Surf School runs the smallest surf lessons groups in Cornwall at 6 student to an instructor.
That's 25% LESS than your typical group lesson of 8 students to an instructor at most other surf schools.

If it is looking like weather or surf conditions might not be safe on the day of your lesson we'll make sure to keep you informed in the days leading up to it.
Due to weather patterns changing quickly here on the atlantic coast we may not make a decision until the night before or even day of your lesson.
Should we deem it unsafe we’ll look to reschedule for another day. Failing that we'll offer you a voucher for the full value of your lesson or issue a refund.
