We had a paddleboarding lesson and it was fantastic. The instructor (Chris) was very patient and a great teacher and made sure the lesson was fun and at our own pace. Great experience and would highly recommend. The added bonus is that we had the lesson in the Camel estuary with Padstow and Rock in the distance. Lovely view.

I have used Harlyn Surf School for the last three years and always have an excellent experience. We have just returned from this year's college residential and my 20 students aged between 16-19 yrs love having a go at surfing. The instructors are always well prepared, professional and have safety first. There is a risk assessment available and all needs... More

First time we had tried surfing, all hooked and looking for similar experience on our next holiday. 2 hour lesson, great friendly staff and by the end most of us were standing or very nearly. Didnt think it would be for us, so all i can say is give it a go.

My partner and I booked the 2pm session on a rainy blustery day. The waves were quite rough but a great challenge. The staff were so friendly and chatty and full of advice. I had a really great time and learnt allot with the supervision and knowledge of our instructor. I left with a big grin on my face.

We booked the Stand Up Paddle Boarding using a voucher scheme (from a well known supermarket). The booking was for our two children aged 10 and 13. The process of registering, getting 'wet' suited up was clear. Having met at Harlyn Beach we travelled in convoy to Padstow to use the Estuary which is a lot calmer than the sea... More

The staff at the surf scholl were great and really friendly, even giving me tips of how to get the wetsuits on, which is no not easy. The... More
