This trip will run with a maximum of 12. The instructor-to-surfer ratio will not exceed 1:8.
Sure can! A lot of people do, and it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our Epic Weekends are very social in nature and we’ve seen lots of new friendships born out of them. Expect a mix of solo travelers and very small groups, all with a shared appreciation of escaping the city for the great outdoors to try something new and meet new people.
You’ll learn the basics of surfing in two comprehensive lessons. Start with safety, then learn to paddle, catch waves and steer the board. When you’re ready, your instructor will teach you to pop up and ride a wave back to shore.
While it can’t be guaranteed, your instructors are highly confident that you’ll be standing up and surfing by the end of your lessons.
Coasteering is the sport of navigating the features of a coastline by any means necessary. You’ll make your way around Towan Head with a combination of wild swimming, low-level traverses, sluices, whirlpools, and both low-level and deep water cliff jumps.
While you’re encouraged to push your comfort zone, you’ll never be forced to do something you’re not comfortable with.
More than just a place to sleep for the night, the fully-hosted surfcamp is a place to immerse yourself in the peace of an untouched forest, learn bushcraft skills or just have a good chat around the campfire.
Learn to start a fire with friction, hone your campfire BBQ skills, challenge your friends to an axe throwing contest, and practice your balance on the slack line. You’re welcome to do as much or as little at you want. Relaxing in your bell tent with a good book is always an option.
A basic level of fitness is needed to enjoy a couple hours at a time of surfing and coasteering. You need to be able to swim 25m. No previous surfing, coasteering or camping experience is needed.

Your host recommends you bring:
If you feel that you will struggle to see without your glasses then yes please do wear them. We suggest securing them to yourself with a piece of string so as not to lose them. Daily throw away contact lenses are the best option for surfing. Contact lenses are fine to keep in whilst coasteering we don’t tend to have too many issues with this.
