Meet the team: and ๐Ÿ˜

Weโ€™re suuuuuuper selective when it comes to having the right kinds of people at Blue Surf School in Newquay ๐Ÿง. We wouldnโ€™t trust just any old Tom, Dick, or Harry (apart from our actual instructor ๐Ÿ˜˜) to take your surf lessons!

Sure... we want good surfers ๐Ÿ„... but what we REALLY want is good people ๐Ÿซถ. Frankie and Seb are exactly that!

Fun, empathetic, great communicators, and with a genuine love for helping people learn to surf and feel a part of the surf scene. Theyโ€™re two of the best surf instructors in Newquay and weโ€™re incredibly fortunate to have them onboard ๐Ÿ™Œ.

Whilst we like to think Frankie and Seb come to Blue Surf each season for the unbeatable Blue Surf vibe โœŒ๏ธ, weโ€™ve got a sneaky suspicion theyโ€™re only REALLY here for the Sausage Rolls and Pasties available at our partners Recharge Coffee ๐Ÿฅฎโ˜•๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿคจ.

Itโ€™s starting to feel like people come to Blue for the surf... but they come back for the people, oh no I mean pasties ๐Ÿ˜‚!

Come see us at Watergate Bay so you can meet the team in person (and grab an unbelievable baked good while youโ€™re at it ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Meet one of our Local Partners: Newquay Coasteering ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿง—๐ŸŠ

A new partnership this season, we wanted to work with a coasteering provider in Newquay to give our guests more activity choices while they were here ๐Ÿฅณ.

After some research, we settled on Newquay Coasteering, owned and run by Fred ๐Ÿซถ!

Why did we choose Newquay Coasteering we hear you ask? Because of the similarities they share with Blue Surf ๐Ÿ’™:

100% of their reviews are 5-star ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

They're independently owned and run by Fred to guarantee a personal touch ๐Ÿ™‹

They operate out of a van, similar to our big blue "Frankie" ๐Ÿš

They put their guest's safety and experience above profit every time ๐Ÿ™Œ

Put simply... there's no one else we'd trust to ask you to jump off uncomfortably high places ๐Ÿคฃ

Want to know the best part?

You get 10% off group Coasteering sessions when you book a surf lesson with us (queue wild celebrations and a confetti cannon ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚).

You'll receive instructions on how to claim your discount in your booking confirmation email ๐Ÿ’Œ.

Head to our website and checkout our Local Partners page to see who else we've partnered with ๐Ÿง.

Remember that if you're looking to learn to surf in Newquay, and want to get more out of your time in Cornwall, you should come to Blue Surf School ๐Ÿ˜˜.

You could learn to surf ANYWHERE in Newquay ... So why would you choose to come to a random big blue van on a piece of grass ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ?

At Blue we donโ€™t have the fancy reception โŒ, weโ€™re not the closest to the beach โŒ, and we havenโ€™t been running for the longest โŒ...

Instead, we put ALL of our focus on the experience.

We only welcome small groups to give each individual as much time and attention as possible.

So while you might initially come here for the surf ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ, we think youโ€™ll come back to us for everything else that makes Blue special โšก:

1. Watergate Bayโ€™s beautiful beach and striking cliffs โ›ฑ๏ธ
2. Our easy-going atmosphere where nothing feels rushed ๐Ÿซ 
3. The personal experience and attention from the moment you arrive โœŒ๏ธ
4. The time you get to take it all in after the session with a well-earned treat ๐Ÿฆโ˜•
5. And the fact youโ€™ll be welcomed back like an old friend every time we see you ๐Ÿซ‚

Thatโ€™s all reflected in the fact that 100% of our reviews are 5-stars ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

So if you want to learn to surf in Cornwall and youโ€™re looking at a surf lesson in Newquay, come see us at Blue Surf School.

A few weeks ago we hosted Padel players from around the country for a beach yoga class at Porth ๐Ÿ–๏ธ!

Organised by Phil and Catrin, the yoga class was part of a clubs get together at the beautiful

Gem guided 24 players through one hour of gentle movement and stretching ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ.

The session was light-hearted, playful, and slow - a nice change of pace amongst a hectic tournament-style weekend for the group ๐Ÿฅต.

It was SUCH a great event to be a part of, and something Blue will be looking to do more of as our young business evolves and grows ๐ŸŒฑ.

If you love what you see here, and want to experience .and.i.yogaโ€™s beach yoga class in Newquay for yourself, then you can book with us online to reserve your spot ๐Ÿ’™.

๐ŸŽฅ๐ŸŽฌ: Finally, big shout out to for the amazing videography he captured of the whole event! Who doesnโ€™t love some slow mo for dramatic effect!? ๐Ÿ™Œ

Look, full transparency, it's pretty wet and windy today ๐Ÿคฃ.

BUT May half term gave us a little reminder of summer in Cornwall, and we can't help but start to get that buzz ๐Ÿ๐Ÿค—!

Cornwall, and Watergate Bay in particular, has some real magic about it - whether the sun is shining โ˜€๏ธ or those famous British showers are giving our gardens a good watering ๐ŸŒง๏ธ.

The good thing about surfing in Newquay is it works in most weathers we experience during the summer months โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ˜๏ธ.

You quickly forget about any rain when all you want to focus on is catch and riding your next wave ๐Ÿ„.

Plus, if you are looking for things to do in Cornwall, there aren't many activities as fun as surfing to bring your group or family together.

Don't forget that we allow one child as young as 5 years old ๐Ÿง’ to join our Family Surf Lesson too ๐Ÿ˜˜!

Just remember to book online in advance to avoid disappointment ๐Ÿ™Œ

What a difference a year makes ๐Ÿคฃ.

May Bank Holiday 2026:
A sun filled, sandy, sweaty three days together at Blue Surf School โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ

May Bank Holiday 2025: Our cloud filled, glittery, magical festival wedding weekend ๐Ÿ•๏ธ๐Ÿ’

Letโ€™s be clear ..being married and running a small business together DO NOT always go hand-in-hand ๐Ÿ˜….

However, on weekends like this one, when everything aligns, we wouldnโ€™t want to be anywhere else** ๐Ÿ’™

Thank you to EVERYONE who came to Blue Surf this weekend to enjoy the best surf lessons in Watergate Bay ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ, hired our surfboards and wetsuits, stopped for a chit-chat ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ, honked their horns as they drove by ๐Ÿš™, and wished us a happy anniversary ๐ŸŽ‚.

Weโ€™ll say it again: Itโ€™s the people we meet (and the team we have) that makes Blue Surf School a special thing to be a part of ๐Ÿซถ.

Weโ€™re both off today and tomorrow to go camping at our wedding venue, BUT thereโ€™s plenty of sun, fun, and waves to be had down at Watergate Bay ๐ŸŒŠ. You can expect a warm greeting from the devilishly handsome .1 whoโ€™s running the show ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ.

**I lied btw, Iโ€™d rather have been surfing myself the last couple of days considering the conditions, but being at Blue was a close second ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Seeing out the year sharing low wind, clean waves, and a bright winter's day surfing with friends ๐Ÿ’™.

You can't beat it!

Have a wonderful time celebrating NYE tonight everyone.

Let's make next year another corker ๐Ÿ™Œ.
