Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival at Cornish Wave HQ in Newquay

You'll meet your hosts, guides and the rest of the group at our surf school in the centre of Newquay (40 Fore Street) at 6:00 PM. Once the introductions are done, it's a short drive (about 15 minutes, 6 miles) to our private woodland surf camp. Not driving? Let us know when you book and we'll pair you up with guests who are.

The first evening is pizza night: a hosted, social evening around our outdoor pizza ovens. Grab your pizza and a drink from Sainsbury's behind the surf school before we leave.

After dinner, the rest of the evening is yours to settle into camp, sit around the fire and relax.

Day 2: Surfing, coasteering and BBQ night

After a camp breakfast of cereals, fruit, tea and coffee, you'll head back into Newquay for your first day of activities.

You'll meet your instructor at around 9am for a short briefing before heading down to the beach for your surf lesson. Most people on the trip are beginners, but if you've surfed before we'll push you on.

There's plenty of time between activities to grab lunch and explore Newquay's surf shops.

In the afternoon, it's a short walk to our coasteering spot, known locally as 'the Gazzle'. Don't worry if you aren't confident in the sea: your guide will explain and demonstrate everything you need to have a great time.

In the evening it's BBQ night back at camp. We host and provide the BBQ tools, plates and cutlery; you bring the food and drinks. Try your hand at axe throwing or giant Jenga, or take out the paddleboards, kayaks and pedalos on the camp pond.

Day 3: Surf and goodbyes!

After breakfast, you'll say goodbye to camp and head back to Newquay for your last surf of the weekend.

Your second surf lesson builds on the previous day's experience: today is all about having fun in the surf.

By 1:00 PM you'll be surfed out, and it's time to say your farewells.

He’s joined by a close-knit crew of local surf instructors and adventure guides who share his down-to-earth approach. Together, they create a friendly, safe, and inclusive environment for everyone — whether you’re paddling out for your first wave or exploring Cornwall’s coastline on a coasteering adventure.

Great all round experience. Loads of fun! A big shout out to Willow and Joe for looking after us. If being in the water is your thing and you want to try something new or simply improve on your surfing ... go for it! The only thing to keep in mind is transport (and parking in Newquay) - you will need a car to get to/from the campsite from/to Newquay ... the organizers may wish to give some consideration into getting a minibus to shuttle everyone back and forth ... aside from that, my son and I really enjoyed the weekend and meeting our fellow travellers. Thank you!

A super chilled weekend. The instructors Willow and Luca were proper surf dudes and great company. They looked after us well and were great fun. The camp was an unexpected surprise, it was beautiful and peaceful.

Coasteering in the arm pit of the Cornish coast was totally out of this world. Loved every minute of it from the views to making huge splashes jumping from cliffs into the clear blue waters of the Atlantic ocean. Would definitely recommend.

BEST WEEKEND EVER! My partner and I went on the 2 day surf and coasteering weekend in September last year. We found that from the moment we arrived at check in and all the way through the trip, we were well looked after by our guides and hosts. The guides that looked after us were so friendly and supportive during our surf and coasteering sessions. They were professional and supportive, which made the days super fun for us. The wild camping facilities were decent and there was fun activities dotted around the camp site; axe throwing, boats on the lake, wild swimming, lawn games. They had a couple of communal areas; one by the fire pit and one in the kitchen area. We had a great weekend together meeting new people and sharing fun experiences together. A Cornish weekend I will never forget!

FAQs

No experience is necessary for this trip. The guides are excellent at finding great surf and coasteering spots to suit all abilities. You'll need to be able to swim in open water for at least 25m.

Most guests are solo travellers, couples and friends between 25 and 55. Under-18s are welcome with a parent or guardian.

Our adventure weekends are perfect for taking a quick break, experiencing the best of Cornwall, meeting new people, and trying new activities. Led from start to finish by our incredible hosts, there’s always someone on hand. You'll be able to get tips on surfing or chat about travels around the campfire.

It’s highly recommended that you take out personal travel insurance. Travel cover can protect you in the case of unforeseen circumstances, including cancellations, injuries, equipment loss, flight changes and other events that could negatively impact your trip. Note that standard insurance often doesn't cover adventure activities. We recommend using specialist adventure travel insurers, like [Rise & Shield](https://riseandshield.com/?ref=mdi5ywe), for your trip. Specialist insurers can cover unique scenarios, like trekking at altitude or emergency evacuation in hard-to-reach places, that ordinary travel insurance doesn’t cover. It's your responsibility to carefully check the details of your policy to ensure that you're covered for the specific activities you'll be carrying out.

On your trip

You'll stay at our private woodland surf camp, about 6 miles (15 minutes' drive) from Newquay. Each tent has a proper bed: bed frame, air mattress, sheet and blanket. Tents are shared by 2 people of the same sex, and couples get their own tent together. Want a tent to yourself? A private tent is £50 extra. The camp has showers, toilets, drinking water and phone charging, plus a pond with paddleboards, kayaks and pedalos.

Breakfast is included on Saturday and Sunday: tea and coffee, cereals and fruit. We can't cater for specific dietary needs, so bring any breakfast extras you need.

No, not at all. You don’t have to do any of the jumps if you don’t want to. You will always be given the option to challenge yourself, whether that is a small jump or large. But in no way will you have to do any part of the Coasteer that you don’t want.

It depends on the sea and your confidence. You'll start with small jumps and can build up to around 12m (30ft) when conditions allow. Every jump is optional.

Saturday: a 2-hour surf lesson and a 2-hour coasteering session. In the evening it's BBQ night at camp. Relax by the fire, try axe throwing or giant Jenga, or head out on the camp pond. Sunday: a 2-hour surf lesson, finishing around 1pm. Then you're free to find lunch with a beach view.

The surf lesson begins with a briefing on beach safety and good beach practice. Then, it's onto an introduction to how to handle your surfboard, entering the water, and catching waves!

Yes. The camp has its own private showers and toilets.

Other FAQs
