    Blue Surf School far exceeded any and all expectations I had! I travelled to Newquay from Canada and chose Blue Surf School. Adam, Gemma, and all the instructors who I was fortunate enough to meet during my 3 days of beginner surf lessons were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and personable. I feel I learned so much but also had the best time imaginable! I will 100% be back and will 100% recommend to anyone looking to take surfing lessons!”

    “I have had never surfed before but after my beginners surfing lesson with blue surf school, I can now say I have surfed and stood up! The team at blue surf school are incredible, the manager Adam is super helpful and friendly. The instructor I had, Frank, was extremely knowledgable, patient and encouraging. I am still amazed after one surfing lesson I can now confidently go out surfing on my own. I had that much fun I hired equipment the next day! I would 100% recommend blue surf school - thanks again Adam and Frank, you’ve introduced me to a new sport I greatly enjoy.”

    I cannot speak highly enough of these guys. Adam was an amazing host and just a genuinely nice guy. I was a bit nervous having never surfed before but he put my mind at ease. Grace was an incredible instructor and was able to pinpoint exactly what I needed to do to improve. Super pleased that I managed to get to my feet fairly quickly but I attribute this to the great instruction and positive reinforcement that was given every time I stacked it as well as when it went well. Thanks so much guys I will definitely be back!”

    Our first time surfing and Adam the new owner was brilliant. He was so personable, clearly passionate about his business, really put my shy teen at ease, and gives 100%. The group lessons are small and better when starting out for time with the instructor. Grace, our instructor, was amazing and made us feel like pros despite it being our first time. She gave lots of encouragement and really made sure we got the most out of the session. Can’t wait to come back for another session 😊”
