Why join the Cornwall Retreat?

The ultimate UK bodyboarding trip, the Cornwall Retreat guarantees you a mobile week of hunting perfect waves on both Cornish coasts. You’ll not only get to surf the best waves of the day but over the course of the week you’ll get a real feel for this beautiful and culturally rich county, not to mention the long-lasting friendships you’ll make along the way!

What to expect?

Newquay, the surf capital of the UK is our hub, but we’ll also be taking you around the county and off the beaten track to places that only a few know about. We’ll find those gorgeous hidden gems littered along both of Cornwall’s intricate coastlines, making sure you bodyboard the best waves at the most beautiful spots, staying as crowd-free as possible. If you can’t make the full week, sign up for as many days as you like.

Who is this trip for?

If you’re looking to explore and surf Cornwall but don’t have the time to plan nor the crew to get a trip going, as well as getting first rate coaching to improve your bodyboarding, then this is the retreat for you! Because this is where we’re from – as locals we understand the best tide-and-wind combination at every top beach, reef, wedge and secret spot.

Our aim is to improve your skills, maximise your fun and enjoy the best of beautiful Kernow’s incredible coastline.

We have two luxury apartments that we use for our Cornwall Retreats.  They are both conveniently located within Newquay and have sea views.  You can walk to the beach from either, making free surf bodyboard sessions a breeze, or if you prefer to relax a little after your coaching there are numerous bars, restaurants and cafes handily located nearby.

EQUIPMENT STORE

  • Free use of a varied selection of hand-picked bodyboards that include a broad size range, materials, tail shapes, contours, and channel systems. These will be introduced to some sessions to help expand your knowledge of equipment.
  • A variety of fins to try throughout the week to establish if you can benefit from a different shape, style, or brand.

GUIDING

  • Every day throughout the week our expert trip leaders will draw upon their collective 40+ years of experience to find the best waves for your ability. Expect to see a side of Cornwall that many will never see!
  • Each day we’ll have one long 3 to 4-hour session or this may be split in to two shorter sessions. We work around the tides and daily conditions to guarantee the best waves for our guests.

COACHING

  • Coaching can be optional, if it’s not for you we can focus more on free surfing, photography and video. It’s your trip, we will facilitate your fun!

EVENING ACTIVITIES

The evenings are for kicking back, enjoying a group meal with the crew on the retreat, grabbing a drink at the Fistral Beach Bar and watching the sun go down. Newquay is a great place for a walk through town in the evening and there are lots of great spots to eat, drink and people watch.
