Tried it before, but never really been shown how?

There’s more to it than simply giving it a go. From paddling and standing to steering to jumping, we’ll show you the little things that make a difference 👉🏼

PADDLE - It starts on the sand before you hit the waves.

BALANCE - Stance, paddle technique and control.

KNOW - What to expect and how to do it safely.

STAND - Finding your feet before putting it into practice.

BUILD UP - Start where you’re comfortable and go from there.

STEER - Learn how to paddle, control your kayak and get where you actually want to go.

Then it’s time to get stuck in.

Getting salty, whatever the weather 🌊

We spend a lot of time in the water, so a good wetsuit makes all the difference.

Our C-skins get put through their paces week after week - coaching, surfing and generally spending more time in the sea than out of it.

With autumn rolling in, we’ll be relying on them even more.

Meet the MAKAI Team

From joining our Boardriders as a grom to becoming one of our surf coaches, Harlyn has grown up with surfing - and with MAKAI.

She’s also represented England at the World Junior Surfing Championships in El Salvador, and somehow still finds time to coach alongside her brother Anto (also part of the MAKAI team!).

We’re pretty excited to see where surfing takes her next.

Summer dump ☀️

What an amazing summer it’s been.

Waves caught, cliffs jumped, caves explored, miles paddled and a whole lot of good times in between.

A huge thank you to everyone who spent part of their summer with us. 💙

The summer holidays might be over, but we’re still here - and the adventures don’t stop when summer does.

See you in the water this autumn.

Recently we’ve been… 👀

A little bit starstruck.

Tom from McFly TomFletcher & Giovanna Giovanna Fletcher recently shared their experience with MAKAI - and had some very kind words for Ian in particular.

This is Ian - the man behind the praise.

Thanks for sharing the MAKAI love!

Not every adventure needs a big jump.

Grab a paddle, get on the water and explore the Cornish coast together.

Think you know the Cornish coast? Think again!

Swim into caves. Scramble over rocks. Take the plunge if you’re brave enough. Explore places you’d never see from the path.

Our guided coasteering sessions are all about getting out there, exploring and seeing the coastline from a completely different perspective.

Think you know the Cornish coast? Think again.

Swim, scramble, explore the caves, squeeze through rocky passages and, if you’re feeling brave take the plunge together.

Coasteering is a pretty brilliant way to see the coastline from a completely different perspective - and one the whole family can get stuck into.

Ever wondered what happens before the fun begins?

Coffee. Team briefings. Boards to prep. SUPs to pump. Waves to check. And a whole team making sure everything is ready before we hit the water.

A little glimpse behind the scenes of a day at MAKAI.

And to all the new faces who’ve joined us today - welcome! 👋

Surf - Coasteer - kayak - SUP - MegaSUP

See you on the water 🤙
