Meet the team: and ๐
Weโre suuuuuuper selective when it comes to having the right kinds of people at Blue Surf School in Newquay ๐ง. We wouldnโt trust just any old Tom, Dick, or Harry (apart from our actual instructor ๐) to take your surf lessons!
Sure... we want good surfers ๐... but what we REALLY want is good people ๐ซถ. 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. Theyโre two of the best surf instructors in Newquay and weโre incredibly fortunate to have them onboard ๐.
Whilst we like to think Frankie and Seb come to Blue Surf each season for the unbeatable Blue Surf vibe โ๏ธ, weโve got a sneaky suspicion theyโre only REALLY here for the Sausage Rolls and Pasties available at our partners Recharge Coffee ๐ฅฎโ๐ฆ๐คจ.
Itโs starting to feel like people come to Blue for the surf... but they come back for the people, oh no I mean pasties ๐!
Come see us at Watergate Bay so you can meet the team in person (and grab an unbelievable baked good while youโre at it ๐)
Blue Surf School
We are a surf school at the magnificent surfing beach Watergate bay in Cornwall.

Meet one of our Local Partners: Newquay Coasteering ๐๐ง๐
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 ๐ฅณ.
After some research, we settled on Newquay Coasteering, owned and run by Fred ๐ซถ!
Why did we choose Newquay Coasteering we hear you ask? Because of the similarities they share with Blue Surf ๐:
100% of their reviews are 5-star ๐๐๐๐๐
They're independently owned and run by Fred to guarantee a personal touch ๐
They operate out of a van, similar to our big blue "Frankie" ๐
They put their guest's safety and experience above profit every time ๐
Put simply... there's no one else we'd trust to ask you to jump off uncomfortably high places ๐คฃ
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 ๐๐๐พ๐ฅ).
You'll receive instructions on how to claim your discount in your booking confirmation email ๐.
Head to our website and checkout our Local Partners page to see who else we've partnered with ๐ง.
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 ๐.

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 ๐คทโโ๏ธ?
At Blue we donโt have the fancy reception โ, weโre not the closest to the beach โ, and we havenโt been running for the longest โ...
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 ๐โโ๏ธ, we think youโll come back to us for everything else that makes Blue special โก:
1. Watergate Bayโs beautiful beach and striking cliffs โฑ๏ธ
2. Our easy-going atmosphere where nothing feels rushed ๐ซ
3. The personal experience and attention from the moment you arrive โ๏ธ
4. The time you get to take it all in after the session with a well-earned treat ๐ฆโ
5. And the fact youโll be welcomed back like an old friend every time we see you ๐ซ
Thatโs all reflected in the fact that 100% of our reviews are 5-stars ๐๐๐๐๐
So if you want to learn to surf in Cornwall and youโre looking at a surf lesson in Newquay, come see us at Blue Surf School.
๐ธ:
A few weeks ago we hosted Padel players from around the country for a beach yoga class at Porth ๐๏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 ๐คธโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ.
The session was light-hearted, playful, and slow - a nice change of pace amongst a hectic tournament-style weekend for the group ๐ฅต.
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 ๐ฑ.
If you love what you see here, and want to experience .and.i.yogaโs beach yoga class in Newquay for yourself, then you can book with us online to reserve your spot ๐.
๐ฅ๐ฌ: Finally, big shout out to for the amazing videography he captured of the whole event! Who doesnโt love some slow mo for dramatic effect!? ๐

Look, full transparency, it's pretty wet and windy today ๐คฃ.
BUT May half term gave us a little reminder of summer in Cornwall, and we can't help but start to get that buzz ๐๐ค!
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 ๐ง๏ธ.
The good thing about surfing in Newquay is it works in most weathers we experience during the summer months โ๏ธ๐ง๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ฆ๏ธ๐ค๏ธโ๏ธ.
You quickly forget about any rain when all you want to focus on is catch and riding your next wave ๐.
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 ๐ง to join our Family Surf Lesson too ๐!
Just remember to book online in advance to avoid disappointment ๐

What a difference a year makes ๐คฃ.
May Bank Holiday 2026:
A sun filled, sandy, sweaty three days together at Blue Surf School โ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
May Bank Holiday 2025: Our cloud filled, glittery, magical festival wedding weekend ๐๏ธ๐
Letโs be clear ..being married and running a small business together DO NOT always go hand-in-hand ๐
.
However, on weekends like this one, when everything aligns, we wouldnโt want to be anywhere else** ๐
Thank you to EVERYONE who came to Blue Surf this weekend to enjoy the best surf lessons in Watergate Bay ๐โโ๏ธ, hired our surfboards and wetsuits, stopped for a chit-chat ๐ฃ๏ธ, honked their horns as they drove by ๐, and wished us a happy anniversary ๐.
Weโll say it again: Itโs the people we meet (and the team we have) that makes Blue Surf School a special thing to be a part of ๐ซถ.
Weโre both off today and tomorrow to go camping at our wedding venue, BUT thereโs plenty of sun, fun, and waves to be had down at Watergate Bay ๐. You can expect a warm greeting from the devilishly handsome .1 whoโs running the show ๐โโ๏ธ.
**I lied btw, Iโd rather have been surfing myself the last couple of days considering the conditions, but being at Blue was a close second ๐.
