Just in! – the Surf Academy Towelling Changing Robe

Tyson Greenaway

We’ve all experienced the total horror or getting into a wetsuit on a beach or car park. Frankly, it ain’t easy.

It’s a juggling act as you hop from one foot to the other, balancing precariously with your towel held up by nothing more than your hips and whispered prayers. All the time in the knowledge that a gust of wind could throw you off balance exposing yourself to the elements (as well as your mates, car park attendant and innocent bystanders).

You have two options:

  1. drop the best part of £50,000 on a new camper van, pull the curtains and get changed in total privacy
  2. treat yourself to a Surf Academy Changing Robe for a mere £34.99. Let it envelope you in its 400gsm 100% cotton goodness and marvel at it’s splendour while you maintain your dignity at the beach.

And to help you make up your mind we have an introductory offer until the 20th of September of only £20.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking we’ve gone out of our tiny little minds this time.

Grab a Surf Academy Changing Robe now before we come to our senses.

Beginner Surfing Lessons in Cornwall

Our Surfing Courses

[themedy_accordion][themedy_toggle accordion=”1″ icon=”ok” heading=”Splash Surfing Lesson (1st Surfing Lesson) – £30″ onload=”open”]So you’re thinking of taking the plunge and booking your first lesson. Well done! This is the first step to being a surfer – you’ll never look back. During your first splash you can expect to learn about the surfing environment and how to control your surfboard safely. We’ll teach you how to paddle the surfboard, catch waves and the different techniques of standing up. You can also expect to learn a little about surf etiquette and which waves are most suitable for you to surf on.[/themedy_toggle][themedy_toggle accordion=”2″ icon=”ok” heading=”Trimmer Surfing Course (Two Surfing Lessons) – £55″ onload=”closed”]So you’ve had your first lesson, caught your first few waves and you’re hooked. Now it’s time to improve your wave selection, work on your paddling technique and ‘trim’ – that’s controlling your speed on the wave by re-postioning yourself relative to the surfboard and laying down your first turns. You’re still in the whitewater but those green waves further out don’t look quite so daunting anymore.[/themedy_toggle][themedy_toggle accordion=”3″ icon=”ok” heading=”Carver Surfing Course (Three Surfing Lessons) – £75″ onload=”closed”]OK, so you’ve done some little turns. Now its time to really bust out the moves. Up to now you’ve been in waist depth water but it’s time to go a little deeper so you can have loads of space to really carve it up. After three lessons you should be linking turns together and, surf permitting, catching your first ‘clean and green’ waves.[/themedy_toggle][themedy_toggle accordion=”4″ icon=”ok” heading=”Hotdogger Surfing Course (Four Surfing Lessons) – £90″ onload=”closed”]

So you’ve tamed the whitewater. Are you ready for some advanced skills? With the HotDogger you’ll be learning how to get your surfboard through the soup and out into deeper water. This is proper surfing!

Catching unbroken waves can be frustrating but with our tips on positioning yourself in the line-up, understanding which waves to catch and cutting across the wave face you’ll be beaming from ear to ear. You’re going to need to know a bit more about surf etiquette and lining up with the other surfers but hey, that’s what we’re here for.

[/themedy_toggle][themedy_toggle accordion=”5″ icon=”ok” heading=”Intensive HotDogger (4 lesson surfing course taken over two days) – £85″ onload=”closed”]Do you know what ‘spaghetti arms’ are? You will at the end of this course! This is the normal HotDogger course taken as two lessons a day for two days.[/themedy_toggle][themedy_toggle accordion=”6″ icon=”ok” heading=”Freerider (5 lesson surfing course) – £105″ onload=”closed”]Time to bring those carving skills that you learnt in the whitewater and apply them to the unbroken waves. Learn the theory of laying down your first bottom turn and put it into practise.[/themedy_toggle][themedy_toggle accordion=”7″ icon=”ok” heading=”Hellman (10 lesson surfing course) – £175″ onload=”closed”]

Think you’ve got what it takes to do 10 surfing lessons?

By now you’re catching unbroken waves and cutting across them consistently. Things are looking good.

But surfing isn’t all about posing. It’s probably about 90% of it but if you want to look really cool you’ve got to be going a little bit faster and adding some pizzazz to your moves.

The surfing instructors at Gwithian Academy of Surfing can show you how.

What Our Customers Say

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you all. My son Elliot has had a fantastic time – you have taken him from complete beginner to up and riding most waves in a week – the lesson package was super value and the loan of more advanced boards to practice on made this a great deal. – Brian Hughes
