help please; recommendations for surf teachers in cornwall?

Postby andil » Wed Jun 06, 2007 8:57 am

Hi,

I am planning to spend a month in Cornwall next year just surfing and surfing to improve, as I don't get out often enough at the mo to see things move on. Can anyone recommend a person/company in Cornwall that could give me some intensive teaching over this period of time? I am not in it for the partying and would like to avoid Newquay. Happy to camp.

Any suggestions would be very welcome. :wink:

Thanks

A

I know 2 really good places in Newquay... but wont bother mentioning them if you're definitely dead against going to the place!

The other thing that springs to mind is a surf ironman champion called Glenn who runs the Crantock Bay surf school who sounds quite good - I haven't had any lessons with him but I got in touch with him after a bad shoulder injury cuz he's qualified in physio for surfers, esp shoulder problems (amongst many other things) and he's been ace giving me advice and regular help over the phone and email for free!

good luck with it :D

Hey thanks, I'll definitely look into it. I have a back injury so would be good to have a physio around if it plays up.
