Family Surf Lessons
Great Family Value
Perranporth is renowned for being the perfect 'bucket-and-spade' family holiday resort, and surfing is the ideal activity for the whole family to enjoy, from age 7 and up! Families booking lessons with one participant aged 7-16 years can benefit our discounted rates as outlined below.
These family sessions are open-group lessons, meaning you may be paired with other families or individuals of similar skill and experience levels. We adhere to a legal ratio of 8:1, but we always consider the group's demographics and environmental factors, often reducing the maximum ratio based on conditions, ages and ability levels.
If you prefer private lessons with just your family and one instructor, please check out our rates for private sessions.
We Also Offer
Lesson Times
During the summer months (May–Sept), we offer two daily 2-hour lessons and our primary times are 10am and 2pm. However, start and finish times may adjust to align with the most favourable tide conditions each day. Official lesson schedules are set in advance and will be confirmed at the time of booking, whether made online or by phone.
​
Please check in 20 minutes before your lesson begins to allow ample time for preparation. Changing into wetsuits and pre/post-lesson briefings are not included in your practical lesson time. To ensure a smooth experience, plan for a total of three hours between arrival and departure.
Equipment
We provide all necessary equipment for your lessons at no extra cost. For beginners—or whenever we deem it beneficial—we use high-quality soft foam surfboards to prioritise safety and maximise learning success. Our extensive range of wetsuits accommodates all sizes and body shapes, ensuring surfers stay warm and comfortable throughout their session. Additionally, we offer a selection of progressive surfboards in various dimensions to support developing improvers and intermediate surfers.
