About Us

Our ethos at Perranporth Surf School is simple: to provide the highest quality surf lessons, in an informative and fun way, and at the best value possible. Since our humble beginnings in 2004, we have never strayed from that ethos, which is why we have established a solid reputation as one of Cornwall's best surf schools. It's what keeps our customers returning to us year upon year.

Uniquely situated directly on the beach throughout summer, our base is just 'a stone's throw' from the waves, literally! We are a fully insured surf school, regulated by and affiliated to Surfing England, the national governing body for surfing in the UK. All our instructors are experienced and fully qualified Surfing England & ISA (International Surfing Association) coaches and beach lifeguards, meaning you are in good, safe hands... Promise!
