Harlyn Surf School

Harlyn Surf School was established 1994 with the help of a PYBT loan and since then we have gone on to be recognised as one of the leading surf schools in the UK pioneering different products and services that have tried to be copied by others. We were the first surf school in the South West to offer stand up paddleboarding lessons 7 years ago and have introduced this sport to 100's of people.

Throughout all our surf lessons and water activities we emphasize the fundamentals of beach and water safety to promote solid lifelong practices. We keep class sizes small so that everyone can enjoy a personal learning experience as they discover how to make the most of the ocean.

Cornwall is a perfect place to make new friends and enjoy the fantastic lifestyle too. As well as surfing, paddleboarding, coasteering and sea kayaking, Harlyn Surf School offers wetsuit and board hire, a great shop, both online and we have linked with some great accommodation providers that offer a 10% discount on our activities if you stay with them.

We are really proud that our surf school is the only surf school in the UK to be awarded an Adventure Activity Licence as a mark of our good safety practices and management. We are one of only a handful of Surf Life Saving GB Accredited Lifeguard Training Centres and the only one in the UK to achieve outstanding for our inspection. Because we train lifeguards and surf instructors through our training arm, Water Skills Academy you are guaranteed that the quality of teaching you will enjoy at Harlyn Surf School is absolutely always first rate.
