The Escape Surf School is in Newquay and has been teaching people to surf for over 15 years. As well as being one of the longest running UK Surf Schools, we are the only one of the schools in Newquay with a 35-year professional surfer as head coach (our very own Mike Young-Surf Guru!)
We love teaching complete beginners but we also teach intermediate and advanced coaching, offering outback, progressive lessons on a daily basis.
We are open 12 months of the year, 7 days a week, so if you want to learn to surf or improve your surfing, then look no further.
Surf Lessons
At the Escape Surf School, we are proud to specialize, not generalize. We offer lessons to whoever is interested, ranging from complete beginners to advanced and contest surfers. As well as offering surfing lessons, we also offer a variety of packages which include surfing and accommodation.
All lessons take place on Towan, Great Western or Fistral beach, all of which are less than 5 minutes’ walk from school. So we meet at the school, where we all change into wetsuits, and then head for the best beach.
