How Does It Work?

Our Stag & Hen Surf Lessons will introduce you to this wildly enjoyable and addictive sport teaching you the basics from beach safety to stand up surfing. Your stag or hen group will be suited up in toasty-warm Rip Curl wetsuits with overlaying rash vests in our on-site heated changing rooms. We also have storage for your clothes and safety lockers for your valuables before heading down to Newquay Bay. We use premium quality Swell foam surfboards for our Stag & Hen Surf Lessons as they offer the most stable platform on which to learn.

Stag Party Surfing

For a stag party visiting Newquay, it’s essential that you try the legendary sport of kings. Our Surfing England qualified and experienced surf lifeguards will have your stag party bros standing up in no time. If you feel an instant connection and stand up fairly quickly, our instructors will help you nail some epic moves in a variety of different wave types.

Whether you’re completely new to the world of surfing or you’ve caught a few waves in the past, our instructors will pitch your surf lesson at a suitable level to match your ability. So, prepare to hang ten, shred some swell and take your first steps towards becoming a beach-babe magnet.

Hen Party Surfing

Surf lessons are the new spa days. If you’re looking for an exciting alternative to conventional hen party weekends, head down to Newquay and soak up the sun whilst shredding the shallows in our crystal-clear waters. What better place to start your hen party weekend than on the golden beaches of Cornwall?

Our highly-qualified and experienced surf instructors will work with your hen group to adapt the lesson to suit all abilities. Maybe you’ve never touched a surfboard before, or perhaps you’re used to setting your alarm for a sunrise surf; we welcome all skill levels with open arms. Our Hen Party Surf Lessons are suitable for all ages and abilities and our friendly coaches will make sure you enjoy every second!

Our Surfing England-qualified and experienced instructors include British Surf Team Coach Rob Barber. Rob and his friendly team will help your hen party learn completely at their own pace, adapting the advice as the lesson goes on. Before you leave the water, you’re sure to be on the way towards that memorable first stand-up wave ride!

Whether your hen party are novices, experienced surfers or there’s a good mix of abilities, our instructors will create the perfect surf lesson for your group. If you have any questions, you can get in contact via our online chat.
