    October Opening Times | Watch the Quiksilver Pro

    October 8, 2015 by Tyson Greenaway Leave a Comment

    So it looks like the Indian summer is over now. The last week of September was pretty much perfect with regards to the weather but the much anticipated swell didn't hit us quite as well as predicted. October is already turning out to be a different kind of beast already however. The swell, while not ruler edged perfection, has jumped in size. Meanwhile the sun, when it does burn through, is … [Read more...]

    How to stand up on a surfboard – the easy (ish) way

    August 19, 2015 by Tyson Greenaway Leave a Comment

    How to stand up on a surfboard

    The best way to stand up on a surfboard, without doubt, is to utilise the 'pop up' method. This is where you catch the wave, perform a press-up and then whip your feet into place in one seamless motion. This is an explosive body movement and understandably not everyone can do this when they first come along for a surfing lesson. It requires a good power to weight ratio, strong shoulders and … [Read more...]

    Surfing lessons at Godrevy, Cornwall

    Spring is nearly behind us and we are surely heading into another, ahem, Barbeque summer at the surf school. Just writing it has almost certainly put a jinx on it but ho, we are tremendously happy here whatever the weather. The surf has been cracking for the last couple of weeks so lets hope this good run will continue. Not that we have been surfing anywhere near as much as usual - our time has … [Read more...]

    Winter Surfing Starts Now

    December 29, 2013 by Tyson Greenaway

    Winter Surf School

    But I thought it began ages ago! Well, yes and no. While the waves and weather have been absolutely bonkers for the last month the water has still been relatively mild so I never really feel that winter truly begins until January. Certainly the hard months are coming up and the sea is at it's coldest in March so the easy part of the winter surfing season is drawing to a close. Just because … [Read more...]
