improver surf lessons
keep improving to stay motivated and take your surfing to the next level
You’ve had a few surf lessons already, and you’ve caught the bug like the rest of us! If you’re comfortable catching waves and popping to your feet, the improver surf lessons would be the perfect next step. With a combination of the right coaching, equipment, and conditions, we’ll help you to progress your surfing skills and take things up a notch.
During the lesson we’ll coach you to assess the water and conditions, whilst improving your technique – moving you from the white wash to safely catching green waves. You’ll learn how to improve your turning techniques and riding skills, enabling you to ride bigger waves and have more fun.
You’ll ride a board suited to your current surfing level from the SSS range of specialist boards. From Softtech Brain Child boards to Ben Skinner carbon fibre long boards, each board will be chosen to push your surfing skills and maximise your progression.

reviews
Stuart (who is delightful) has been teaching my kids who were total beginners. He's unleashed a new passion for them. They return buzzing and smiling (even the 14 year old girl) and their confidence has taken leaps. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fabulous instructor. Our 13 year old son felt Stuart was ‘one with the sea!’ Very focused, supportive, nothing too much trouble. He answered every question (and there were lots!!) with enthusiasm. Would highly recommend. The Ralfs.
My girls had their first surf lesson with Stuart this weekend, and they loved him! He is friendly, fabulous with kids, highly attentive, and the girls thought he was awesome! I’d highly recommend him.
Highly recommend! Stu is a great teacher - patient, skilled and a lot of fun. Really professional set up and nice kit. Will definitely book another lesson when I'm back in Newquay!
Great company and Stu is an awesome instructor. Very knowledgable and has a lot of patience with beginners!
Stuart is an incredible teacher and fully supportive from every wave caught to every time you completely wipe out. In just a matter of months we were heading outback to catch even bigger waves. I felt confident that I would be able to catch these waves by myself and felt completely safe. Surfing with Stuart is always a great experience and lots of fun.
Massive thanks to Stu and the team for running a fantastic team building afternoon for myself and 9 colleagues. We had a mix of abilities in the group but even the most novice surfers amongst us managed to get up on the board. It was a great way to get out of the office and do something different to get to know each other better.
Both boys absolutely loved their first surf lesson. Was great to see them grow in confidence and ability just within the two hours. They want to come back tomorrow! Thank you.
I have always surfed but never regularly until I moved to Newquay and started surfing with SSS. Stuart is a great teacher and has given me the extra confidence and techniques to go out and do it every day (surf permitting). At 45 years old I’m surfing better than I ever did. Plus I have a huge 'man crush' on Stuart.
Three boys aged 7-11 years old had a fantastic surfing lesson with Stuart. Unlike other surf schools he has a low teacher to child ratio so the boys got his full focus. He was very patient and didn’t stop smiling and encouraging them. Brilliant set up (including hot shower) in his mobile van. Excellent value for money, cannot recommend enough. Thank you Stuart.
Stuart was really helpful and the 2 hour session was very good for the whole family and we caught a good number of waves and all managed standing up. Great time - Thank you.
Highly recommend. After being coached by you In the morning they then spent all afternoon in the water practicing what you had taught them. “Tons better than body boarding” was the consensus. They are looking forward to the intermediate session we’ve got booked in a few days time. Not only have you introduced them to a new sport but have also ensured they understand how to do it safely.
Excellent service. Everything made easy and simple for the children. Great instructor and facilities!
Our 2 daughters had a great surf lesson today at watergate bay. The instructor was really helpful and friendly. I felt our children were safe in his hands.
