Surfing, while incredibly good fun, is a highly skilled, technical sport and requires time and consistency to master. On average 90% of self-taught surfers develop bad habits that can take years to fix, that will inhibit any progression and mean they waste more time battling waves rather than actually surfing. On top of this, surfing comes with a handful of day to day risks such as rip currents, large swell and hidden rocks. Have you therefore considered surfing lessons?
5 Reasons Wavehunters Lessons Are Game Changers for You
- As one of the longest running surf schools in Cornwall, we pride ourselves on having a highly experienced team. All our coaches are local experts, they know every local cornish break like the back of their hand. They can give you the best spot based on tides and swell size alone (better than any surf forecast system online).
- Our coaches also understand that everyone learns in different ways, as a team they can adapt every lesson, technique and style to ensure that you get standing on your first lesson!
- Safety always comes first. A key feature of our lesson includes covering all areas of safety, rip currents, flags, hand signals and more, to prepare you for surfing alone. But the best thing is, while on a lesson with us, we handle all the scary stuff meaning you can just enjoy the lesson without needing to focus on safety. (Another reason as to why you progress so quickly with us).
- We have tried and used many different brands of wetsuits and surfboards to ensure all our customers receive the best. All our kit is well maintained offering only the best quality for lessons and surf hire, no more thin wetsuits or dinged, waterlogged surf boards!
- Finally we understand how scary and frustrating a surf lesson can be, with our team of positive patient coaches you’ll leave us feeling stoked and ready for more!

Reasons to do lessons from the beginning
Starting from scratch, at any age, on a surf lesson has multiple benefits. Social media provides heaps of false idealistic surfing clips that showcase these rolling green waves, gorgeous sunny weather and a handful of highly experienced surfers. But the reality is far different and if you ask us, more fun! You have a lot to contend with when learning to surf which these short clips fail to mention. A lesson will dispel any myth social media may have taught you and take you through the key techniques you must master before heading off onto those Bali waves! Teaching yourself to surf also brings additional costs such as hire cost for equipment, travel cost to only go to the wrong spot for the day etc. A lesson with us includes all equipment and the promise of a good learning wave. In this one lesson you will cover safety, the ‘pop up’ and wave selection, the perfect recipe to enable yourself to go out and practise saving you heaps of time and effort.
