What you had to say:

    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 surf and yoga 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!”

    Came during Boardmasters Festival - Blue Surf is by far the BEST surf school in watergate bay and a must do if you’re in the area! Harry was my instructor and he was amazing at teaching me how to surf as this was my first ever time. Thanks to his instruction I was able to get up and surf for a good deal of time which is testament to the individual attention he gave everyone despite it being a group session. This made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable. Once again, HUGE thanks to blue surf school!!

    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!”

    Booked three surf lessons with Blue Surf while at Boardmasters and they were spot on. Lessons were at Watergate Bay, everything was ready to go with wetsuits and boards, quick change and straight into the water. Adam running the who was a legend and Joe’s teaching style suited me perfectly. Both were chilled, gave great advice, and kept the vibe fun. They were brilliant, professional and made sure we got plenty of time actually surfing. If I hadn’t been skint from festival I’d have tipped them both without hesitation.”
