5Excellent from start to finish.
I spoke with a great guy on the phone when I rang to ask about a bodyboard lesson. I explained I had recently lost my husband and I was treated with the utmost compassion & kindness. I booked & paid over the phone for my sister in law & myself for a taster lesson. We were met at the centre by our instructor James, who provided wetsuits, fins & bodyboards. We were shown to the changing room which was clean & after storing our valuables in the lock box, we headed down to the surf. James explained about safety in the water and how to protect your head if a collision with another surfer or surfboard was imminent. Thankfully we didn't need to test that one! We were shown hand signals by James that instructed us on what he needed us to do, when we were in the water. James was a very professional instructor. Very knowledgeable. Funny, warm and obviously an expert in the water. He was approachable, positive encouraging and very patient. I cannot thank him enough for making our taster lesson such fun. I can highly recommend this centre, the staff and especially James our instructor and yes I will be booking again with Newquay Activity Centre. Excellent, 5*. The whole experience was enjoyable.
5Excellent bodyboard taster lesson.
Booked a group lesson but as I was the only participant I had a one to one lesson. My instructor Jake, sorry if I got your name wrong, was great.
5Private bodyboarding lesson
My 15 year old daughter had a private bodyboarding lesson. The lady instructor was simply fantastic. She was super helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. Not only did my daughter’s bodyboarding skills improve, her knowledge of the sea and the tides, and safety around the sea did too. We will definitely return for another private lesson. Thank you!!
5Friendly staff
Taster session for our 12 year old son! He loved the lesson with James. Great experience and lovely friendly staff members .
5A perfect afternoon enjoying a family bodyboarding experience
Had a family bodyboard experience for myself and my two daughters aged 11 and 13. Our instructor George was fantastic and made it a really enjoyable experience - as we were all new to bodyboarding and not particularly strong swimmers, the session was designed to our ability and pitched at just the right level. My daughters said this was the highlight of their holiday. Would highly recommend this.
5Enjoyable family bodyboard lesson
The instructor good to take cares my family, not only enjoy the bodyboarding, but also help to take some nice photos and bring us good memories.

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.
