WHY LEARN TO SURF IN CORNWALL Cornwall arguably has some of the best stretches of coastline for you to surf. Cornwalls location jutting out into the mighty Atlantic provides incomparable swells you wont find anywhere else in England. Not to mention, being a bit milder in climate than other areas of the UK and stunning beaches, theres no better place to give surfing a first attempt or expand your surfing skills. SURFING LESSONS BEGINNER SURF LESSONS Level one at our surf school is perfect for dipping your toe in the water and trying out something completely new and different. Youll learn the basics, be safe in the sea and have a lot of fun all at the same time. Our qualified instructors will be right by your side in the water to guide and coax you on giving you the confidence you need. By the end of your session you should have got to grips with basic surf safety, paddling, catching waves and if youre lucky standing up too! Our beginners lessons are great for kids and adults alike and perfect for groups of friends, couples and the family. For a completely different view of the Cornish coast, you cant beat hitting the waves on a surf board. INTERMEDIATE SURF LESSONS Our intermediate surf lessons are broken up into levels through from 2 6 and are aimed at surfers looking to improve on their basic skills. If you havent been out on the waves in a while and want to refresh your technique, or are looking to keep developing your skill-set these lessons are perfect for you. You dont need to be a hard core surfer with your own kit though, we can still provide all the equipment you need to brush up your skills and get ready for a surfing holiday or waves further afield. On each level youll run through different techniques for you to master from paddling, improving your pop-up, getting more stable on the board to increase the length of your ride and learning how to turn forehand and backhand. We also hold custom sessions where you can refine particular skills and master the waves. ADVANCED SURF LESSONS Our final level is for slightly more serious surfers who have already mastered the vast majority of movements, control and stability. Youll bring your own custom board and surf out with the instructors to find some challenging waves to increase your skills on. When youre at this stage and looking to really hone your technique, we can arrange video coach analysis to help improve techniques and offer advice on hardware, boards & wetsuits so you can make the most of the Cornish surf. Surf Kit We Provide For the beginners, we offer foam boards with safety fins to aid stability and for those who take our intermediate sessions, we have a wide range of other boards to choose from. Just bring along a towel and your swimsuit and well provide wetsuits. We have a range for colder climates too so you can surf in all the right kit whatever the season. Of course, if you have your own, youre more than welcome to bring it along with you! Surfing Safe A huge part of the fun of surfing is knowing you can enjoy yourself in a safe way. Our beginners lessons are, for the most part, aimed at getting you confident and safe in the sea so as you dont get into any difficulty as a result of waves, tides or currents. Its not all down to you for your own safety however. Here at Era Adventures we are all professional surf instructors and first aiders trained to handle any situation that may arise and to ensure the group doesnt get into any situations in the first place. As accredited members of surf life savers GB, the international surf federation and the royal lifesaving society, you can rest assured our instructors will look after you for the entirety of your session or surf package. SURF SCHOOL FAQS Ive never surfed before is this an issue? Not at all! Our beginners surf lessons are specifically designed for those whove never hit the surf before. Theyre geared up expressly to make sure you are safe in the water and have a lot of fun trying out a new sport. What kind of precautions do you take to ensure safety? We take safety very seriously when it comes to our surf school. All of our instructors are qualified surf instructors with first aid training and qualified coast life guards too meaning you are in exceptionally safe hands. How many surf lessons should I attend? That is completely up to you! If youre just looking for a taster to see if its for you, then booking onto a beginners session is ideal. If you want to keep learning, you can take advantage of a package rate for our different levels. Everyone learns at a different pace, and unfortunately, just hopping on a board and being a maestro never happens! Are there any age restrictions to your classes? Kids of all ages that can swim well can start surfing, Im sure weve all seen videos of kids as young as 5 catching waves. But we advise that kids over 8 years old come along to our surf school. Do I need to be a really strong swimmer? In our beginners lessons, we never go much further than waist deep, so you dont have to be a very strong swimmer. Ideally, you should be able to competently swim, two lengths of a standard 25m pool. What impact does the weather have on surf lessons? For our novices in beginner sessions, its much more important that the surf isnt too choppy so as you can work on building your confidence and learning, but we have some pretty secluded spots so it is very rare that the weather is unsuitable for us to surf. For the intermediate and advances surfers, it is even rarer!
