Hi all, great site.
I hope noone minds be posting this, but I'd like to reccommend the Escape Surf School in Newquay (escapesurfschool.co.uk)
We just had a weekend with them, and they were fantastic, despite having all their boards (both the schools and their own boards) set alight at 4 am that morning. Despite that, they took us down the beach with hired boards on the Saturday, hung around for ages hoping the fog would clear and when it didnt, they took us out on the Sunday, at no extra charge.
