Alongside these new technical skills, we also want to give you the tools to carry on this sport as an exciting new pastime.

5Paddle boarding in Newquay
Finn was amazing , he was so fun and we had a great time. Would highly recommend Finn for the paddle boarding experience
5Fun on the water
We had a fun paddle board tour with an experienced & friendly guide, the booking was very easy (although it did take a while to fill in 2 almost indentical safety forms per person..). We'd recommend NAC highly, and will surely use them again.
5Great Family Outing, only tempered by experi nice and weather
A huge thank you to Finn for guiding us around. He was especially good with getting the kids to have fun and made them enjoy the time out, even though they were extremely apprehensive at first. As a first time out, as a family, unfortunately we did not get the full value as the weather did turn and was very windy. In hindsight, it would have been better for our kids to be a little older (currently 5 and 6) or having previous experience to get the full value. The overall time alloted would have been ample if the wind had not picked up. Considering we did a more personal trip and had a dedicated guide, I'd say the experience was very well planned and again, Finn targeted the kids and ensuring they had fun which was the primary aim to get them in at an entry level. Overall, we would definitely recommend the team to anyone, but possibly consider the novice nature before attempting this in Cornwall, simply due to the wind. But even with that in mind, we had a great time and will be back in the future.
5Family beginner paddle boarding lesson
The experience as very enjoyable and Amy was a great teacher. We were a family of 4 and felt safe and well advised
5Paddle & Snorkle
We spent a lovely morning Paddleboarding. James our instructor was brilliant, informative, helpful and encouraging. We added snorkelling at the last minute by recommendation of the company. It did not disappoint- we saw crabs, fish, jellyfish and loads more, even a friendly seal. Altogether a great experience and one I would recommend to others, whether experienced paddle boarders or new to the sport. We would go back again!
5Awesome SUP tour experience from Newquay!
Awesome afternoon learning the basics of SUP before exploring some of the coves around Newquay. James our instructor was very patient, conscientious and managed a very mixed group of different abilities with amazing results. Despite being our first time paddle boarding, James gave us the confidence to enjoy the tour at our own level and yet still keep up with everyone else. We learnt loads about the marine life; watched seals swim underneath us, saw spider crabs and loads of jellies. James has a brilliant knowledge of the local sealife - he was a pleasure to listen to. Definitely recommend 100%.

About Newquay
Newquay is a surf town and seaside resort on Cornwall's north coast, with long Atlantic beaches, a working harbour and cliff-top walks.
Newquay sits on Cornwall's north coast, where Atlantic swell rolls onto a string of sandy beaches. Fistral Beach, facing west, is the town's famous surf beach, and Towan, Great Western and Lusty Glaze are smaller coves between the headlands. The harbour holds fishing boats and the Huer's Hut, a whitewashed lookout from which watchers once signalled the arrival of pilchard shoals.
