Had a lesson booked for me as a surprise birthday present. Got suited and booted and made our way down to Watergate bay, Alan chatted to me on the way down to find out about my surf experience etc. Once in the water I had an awesome time picking up were I left off 20 years ago. Had a great... More

I was only aware of the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay. They were fully booked so we needed an alternative + found O'Neill. Thank you Dom, the surf was amazing this weekend, but to have one of us standing up a few times + the other riding the wave for several seconds including doing a 180 was more than we... More

My stay was part of an organised weekend over 2 days. O'Neill Surf Academy supplies your wetsuit, (gloves and boots if needed), board and great instructors and is run by longboard rider, Ashleigh Bennetts. Safety is paramount, all instructors are qualified lifeguards. After kitting up we headed to the beach (2 minute walk) and warmed up. We were then split... More

Our son has been to lessons with O'Neill for 2 summers now and loves them. Very happy to recommend them to others. Very friendly staff and good bunch of people! What other 7 year olds can say they have been coached by a world class top pro surfer!

What can I say, these guys are just Awesome. They know their stuff and they know it well. I have had 4 lessons with them and am hooked! My main instructor was Chris, great guy with much patience. If you are keen to learn to surf and want some fun at the same time look these guys up, you wont... More

Got cheap voucher through Travelzoo and had a great day with two surfing lessons, board and wetsuit hire for a bargain price

My kids 6 & 12 joined the kids only surf class. The surf instructor was great will the kids and the adult teacher joined him to get the kids started. After my. 6 year old said before she started she would not stand up, but after a couple of goes was standing up. Absolutely fab! Thanks to the instructor Dom... More

Took our 13 year old daughter to the surf school for two lessons and she is hooked! Great staff on both days who really were patient, friendly and had a real love for what they did. By the end of the first lessons she was standing up and the second one she was actually making short runs! Great fun day.

Fantastic surf school which I cannot recommend highly enough. I booked the long weekend staying at the Kernow Trek B&B (reviewed separately on this website). Booking is very straight forward and even if they are out of the office surfing, they will call you back. As soon as you arrive Ash and her team are friendly and welcoming and quickly... More
