Just Wow!!! I have just returned from the 'Surf, Yoga and Luxury Wild Camp' weekend. What a magical weekend!!! All of the staff and instructors at Cornish Wave are friendly, welcoming, approachable and really make you feel at home and valued. The wild camp is beautiful! There are spacious tents, kitchen and bbq area, camp-fire, yoga barn and a gorgeous pond. I was at 6:30 each morning as the sun came up over the horizon, it was spectacular! The showers are the nicest I have had on any campsite! There is also entertainment around for free use: kayak, paddle-board, peddleos, limbo, Jenga, axe-throwing and tight-rope walking! When there was a heavy winds, we were offered to change our tens, no fuss or judgement. Thank you Jey for an incredible setting and camp experience and Matt for being a fun host. The surf session was fantastic with two very fun and laid-back, but very knowledgeable instructors. Every-one who wanted to stand was able to and those who did not, were offered expert advice around how to get the best wave surf in prone. One the second day, rather than stick to the plan rigidly and go for a surf in flat conditions (there were other schools out), Matt worked with those of us on the camp to find a more enjoyable and engaging solution (we went coasteering, which was amazing!!!). This was accompanied by the second surf instructor as our cameraman, resulting in us having amazing footage to look back on. Thank you to Matt and Connor for these excellent experiences. Yoga for our sessions was led by Zoe, and the best Yoga sessions I have ever had. Relaxed, but challenging, great music choices to accompany and a wonderful woodland setting. The second day, we did the session outside beside the pond rather than in the yoga barn. Listening to the wind and feeling the still rising sun as part of the relaxation was magical. Coasteering was amazing and everyone felt judgement free to choose how much they did or did not do in terms of jumps, the coast was spectacular. The previous day, they had explored lots of caves too. The social time was a lot of fun and everyone was relaxed to mingle. Some people were in groups of two friends and some single on the weekend I experienced, but everyone was included, laughing together and feeling great! I cannot recommend Cornish Wave enough, whether you are a lone adventurer, family, friends or a larger group. All of their activities were outstanding and the wild camp beautiful. Thank you everyone at Cornish Wave!

Jey and team were amazing, we did the weekend surf and yoga retreat and honestly couldnt recommend it more! Lovely team, Kirsty was our host and yoga teacher - incredibly zen yoga sessions (and beginner friendly). The camp site is beautiful, quiet and very well maintained - clean tents and air mattresses. Jake was our surf instructor - amazing guy, lots of laughs and learned so much! Thank you team!

Booked the yoga and surf weekend - it was amazing. Jake was our guide/ surf instructor. He was really friendly, was there to help with anything we needed and is a really good surf teacher- he made it a really great trip. Everything was well organised- the camp is amazing and well equipped. The yoga barn is a great place to unwind and the surfing was epic. First time in Newquay and would definitely go back/ recommend Cornish waves to anyone.

Stayed with Cornish Wave 24th-26th May, I had a great time, lots of fun. Jey and Jake are very easy to get along with. I only wish I had booked a little longer for the surfing.

Great yoga-surfing weekend! The camp is just beautiful with super clean facilities that perfectly blend with the gorgeous surroundings. The staff was amazing too, with special shout outs to Matt (x2), Victor and Zoe. The surf and yoga sessions were the perfect complement to enjoy the retreat to the fullest. And last but not least, the group was super friendly and very much perfectly suited for solo travellers. The whole experience had a 'holiday' vibe that was very welcome :) Would highly recommend and repeat in the future!

This retreat was an absolute gem! The location of the camp is stunning—right in the heart of nature, perfect for a true escape. Wild yet equipped with everything you need. Victor and Matt made our stay truly special. They were amazing and going out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. The surf lessons were fun and tailored to all levels, while the yoga sessions were the perfect balance of relaxation after surfing and some challenge. The camp had a cozy, laid-back vibe, with pizzas, bbq and evenings spent around the campfire. I couldn’t have asked for a better mix of adventure and chill downtime for a solo trip having met so many cool people! Highly recommend this retreat if you want to surf, unwind, and connect with awesome people!
