Surf School
Our surf school is ideally based, just a short walk from the beautiful Gwithian Beach on St Ives Bay, which offers mellow and consistent waves all year round, the perfect location for catching those first rides and improving your surfing skills.
We offer a range of surfing experiences suitable for all levels of surfer looking to achieve a variety of surfing goals. Our main emphasis is on maintaining a fun and positive teaching environment with a strong focus on safety, while developing your surfing knowledge and experience.
Our surf school is based right here at Sunset Surf, making your time surfing with us as easy as possible. Our permanent base allows us to provide you with indoor changing facilities, toilets, showers, secure valuable storage and of course our beachside café and licensed bar for the all important post-surf refreshments!
All of our coaches are experienced surfers; approved surf coaches, fully qualified RNLI beach life guards and insured members of Sports Coach UK. Above all they are all excellent communicators, being experienced in coaching a range of other sports. We absolutely love what we do, and hope that a little of our enthusiasm for surfing rubs off on you!
We have a huge selection of C-Skins wetsuits and accessories for children and adults, and a large fleet of Swell beginner surfboards. For those returning to us to improve your surfing skills we have a range of Surftech Soft-Top Surfboards and Take Off Surfboards, perfect for taking your riding to the next level!
At Sunset Surf School we believe that each and every student should have the very best chance of standing up and riding as many waves as possible during the time you spend with us. For that reason we work to a strict coach to student ratio of 1:8 for beginner groups and 1:4 for improver groups.
We take a friendly and fun attitude to our lessons, we’re here to make friends and help you enjoy an awesome day learning to surf with us!
How much are the lessons?
Our pricing structure is very simple. The more lessons you book in advance, the cheaper it gets! You can choose to surf twice in the same day (only recommended if you’re very fit!) or can spread the lessons out as it suits you.
