Set on the golden sands of Harlyn Bay, there can be no better place to learn to surf or to discover the sheer exhilaration of paddleboarding, coasteering or sea kayaking.
We believe in offering you the very best customer service and the highest possible level of surf and watersports tuition. Passionate about the Cornwall surf, Harlyn Surf School is always at the forefront of the surf industry and so it’s no surprise we were one of the first in the UK to launch the world’s fastest growing watersport, Stand up Paddleboarding in 2009. This year sees the launch of our latest activity, coasteering, a fantastic experience scrambling across rocks, exploring nooks and crannies, diving into rock pools and seeing the local wildlife plus we have a great new shop in our unit on the beach and coming very soon online!
We also run amazing surf camps every summer which are incredibly popular with teenagers and children. These are surf courses running over five consecutive days, so you really get a chance to develop your surfing skills. Private, improver and group surf lessons and activities are available so there really is something for everyone! We are really proud to be the first surf school in the UK to be awarded an Adventure Activity Licence as a mark of our good safety management and we are an Academy of Surfing Instructors Accredited surf school --- ASI are the world leaders for surfing education and accreditation. What's more we are a Surf Life Saving GB Lifeguard training centre, one of only a handful in the UK -- so you can be rest assured you will be in safe hands!
So, whether you want to enjoy paddleboarding, sea kayaking, coasteering or surf, Cornwall is the only place to be. And Harlyn Surf School, Padstow, is your ideal choice for a truly amazing experience!
