Welcome to Hayle Surf School, a cherished gem nestled amidst the sand dunes with panoramic views of St Ives Bay. From the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse stretching across three miles of pristine beach to the charming vistas of Carbis Bay and St Ives itself, our location offers an unparalleled backdrop for your surfing journey. We are deeply passionate about the sea—it's not just where we've grown up, but where we continue to find joy and vitality. Our mission is to share this passion with you, guiding you through the exhilarating world of surfing in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
At Hayle Surf School, we cater to everyone—from complete beginners eager to catch their first wave to seasoned surfers looking to refine their technique. Each lesson is uniquely structured to suit the group, with bespoke tuition tailored to individual capabilities. We prioritise quality over quantity, maintaining a maximum ratio of one instructor for every eight students to ensure personalised attention. Our instructors are not only highly qualified, holding Surf Coach Safety and Rescue and ISA Coaching certifications, but also possess an intimate knowledge of the local sea conditions, having spent their lives surfing, fishing, and swimming in these waters. During peak season, we work closely with the RNLI lifeguards, fostering a strong collaborative relationship to enhance safety.
Beyond our surf lessons, we offer top-quality equipment hire, including a variety of surfboards and 5mm winter wetsuits to keep you comfortable in the British summer. After an invigorating session in the waves, unwind at our 'Brews & Views' café, where we serve locally sourced Potterbeans Coffee, hand-rolled filled bagels, a delightful selection of daily-changing cakes, and Treleavans luxury Cornish ice cream. Whether you're here to ride the waves or simply to enjoy the breathtaking scenery with a warm brew in hand, Hayle Surf School provides an experience that captures the essence of Cornwall's coastal charm.
