I was looking at a 'father and son bonding trip' during the autumn half term and asked my 12 year old lad what he fancied doing? He said surfing, but surfing in October??? Turns out that with the right wet suit this is one of the best times of the year to surf in Newquay. We booked with Escape on... More

We had three lessons with Caroline and Mike in April and had just the best time. Even though we are not the most naturally talented surfers, they made us feel at ease and had us standing up by the end of the first lesson. After a less fruitful third session, Mike went out of his way to make sure we... More

Me and my boyfriend just got back from a 3 day trip to Newquay and are already planning to come back soon. The instructors are supportive and engaging, and even when there was 27 of us on the water in one go, we still got brilliant coaching. Both Mike and Will coached myself, whilst Mike coached my boyfriend. The quality... More

..Just been surfing with the team at escape, learnt loads, so thanks very much, I have been bringing groups of soldiers to escape surfing for the past few years. Very professional in all aspects, so wouldn’t use anyone else. Really good set up with Belushis, changing rooms etc...oh and quality showers. Thanks to Mike & Will for a great time.

They dont just stand on the beach and yell at you they actually get in the water and coach 1:1 so... More

Escape Surf school is a fantastic school that truly caters for all abilities and needs. I came for a 1-2-1 intermediate surf lesson with Mike and was a little nervous about airing my rusty surf skills. However, after a thorough discussion about what I wanted to take from the lesson, Mike got me up and surfing straight away; he made... More
