Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our family has been surfing with Nick and his team for the last 7yrs. Our little girl started with him 2yrs ago (aged 8) without previous experience and wasn’t super water confident. Nick is incredibly patient with children, and has a fantastic talent for getting them to listen and understand his instructions. He makes the lessons fun while at the same time being highly professional and confidence inspiring. This year we brought friends 2 teenage boys who had no previous surf experience. Nick and Pete worked their magic and had them happily surfing with minimum support by the end of the week. As adults we find Nick inherently engaging and absolutely dedicated to providing you with highly personal surfing lessons that are specifically tailored to your needs and abilities. The great thing about this Surf Company is that they listen to what you tell them, they watch you closely in surf and provide you with all the necessary support to get you up and surfing. Nick’s passion for the sport and his wonderful commitment to the Mawgan Porth Community and environment is contagious and ensures that you build great memories of the place and time. It certainly keeps us coming back year after year. For the best, most personal surfing experience in Mawgan Porth, I would definitely recommend Nick.

Highly recommend booking with Nick / Pete. Pete has taught all three of the lessons our two kids have enjoyed this summer, so much so we have ended up changing our plans to fit another in whilst still in Cornwall!!
Our kids are 8 and 16 so quite a gap but Pete has handled the lessons really well making sure our eldest got the encouragement he needs but also keeping a close eye on our youngest. We booked a private lesson for the two of them which was a lot more effective than the larger group lessons, some of which were running on the same beach. Mawgan Porth whilst only small compared to some of the other beaches has everything you need and I can imagine is much less busy which I guess is important now more than ever! I can imagine parking can be a challenge if you arrive later in the day, hence recommend booking one of the morning lesson slots if you can. We will no doubt be booking again next summer if we end up back in Cornwall as expected.

A must for anyone on their list of things to do before you die ! Have a go at surfing & get 1:1 tuition on how to do it properly and safely. Loads of fun and totally exhilarating, I would definitely recommend The Surf Club, I had never surfed with full sized boards before, so was keen to learn and Nick was a great teacher. Great value for cost of hiring all the kit and two hours lesson ! If you come to Cornwall and have never tried surfing, you must have a go, you may even get the surf bug, as I have !

Had the most fantastic surfing lesson with Nick! As a group we'd had a lesson once before however we all had significant improvement with Nick's expert advice. Would highly recommend.

Had two great 1-2-1 lessons with Nick. He took my step by step through the learning process to be able to get surfing standing up. Very enjoyable and rewarding, and felt safe throughout

I went to Nick with the sole purpose of learning how to surf - I had 3 x 2 hour sessions with him over three days. He was absolutely superb - patient, rounded and full of love for the sport and the sea. He taught me more than I could have imagined in a relatively short space of time. Highly highly recommended!

My husband had his lesson while we were on holiday 2 weeks ago and I was able to join him. Pete explained things really well, answered all of our questions and added in interesting info about safety, surfing and beaches in general. He was able to guide us both even though we are at different levels, so made it a brilliant afternoon for the both of us! Good boards and good fun.
