Peg's Surf Coaching

Peg's Surf Coaching is a Surfing England Accredited Surf School located in Perranporth, Cornwall. They offer surf lessons for all levels, whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced surfer wanting to progress your skills. The professional and experienced surf coaches at Peg's Surf Coaching are passionate about sharing their love of surfing and helping others experience the joy of riding waves.

The surf lessons at Peg's Surf Coaching are available seven days a week throughout the year. The times of the lessons are matched to the times and size of the predicted tides, ensuring the best conditions for learning and surfing. However, if there is daylight and surf, there's a good chance that you will be able to book a lesson, regardless of the tide. The surf school is mainly based in Perranporth, but they also teach on the beaches in Newquay and St Agnes.

Unlike larger surf schools with a fixed base, Peg's Surf Coaching can easily move the location of lessons in response to the surf conditions on the day. They are flexible and adaptable to ensure the best surf experience for their students.
