Summer in Cornwall ☀️.
It's been hot 🥵. It's been dry 😮💨. It's been BUSY 🚀. Sadly, it has also come to its natural end 😭.
If you came for a surf lesson in Newquay with Blue this summer, you'll also no doubt have experienced that summer isn't always the best time if you're on the hunt for quality waves.
Thank god then for autumn 🍂 😍 which delivers...
🌊 More waves kicked up and sent our way by far off Atlantic storms
🌡️ The warmest ocean temperatures of the whole year
📈 Consistent offshore winds for clean peeling waves
🏄 Significantly less people in the water, giving you the time and space you need to improve AND enjoy your surf experience more
It continues to be Cornwall's best kept secret, and we want to share it with you!
So if you're coming down to Cornwall this autumn and looking for things to do, look no further than surfing - it's what all the locals will be doing 😘.

If you’ve visited Blue, it’s more than likely you’ve met Adam. If not, you’ve no doubt received an email, WhatsApp or had a longer than expected phone conversation. (You can’t forget him because no doubt, he’s made a risky joke of some kind!) He loves a chat, is SUPER hardworking, and today it’s his birthday!
He also loves plants, a flat white, a good dance, and his wife 😆 But more than anything, he puts absolutely EVERYTHING into all things Blue Surf, to make it the best it can be!
You just need to read our reviews to see what our customers really think.
He’s been called:
✨ super helpful and reassuring
✨ welcoming
✨ friendly and charismatic
✨ an amazing host and just a genuinely nice guy
✨ ace… shame he doesn’t like Crocs, but hey-ho, can’t be perfect!
✨ down to earth
✨ a legend
✨ first class
✨ super patient and enthusiastic
✨ a great ambassador for the company
And the best one by far…
✨ the most pleasant person we have met in Cornwall 🥹
So this is just a little appreciation post to say everyone thinks you’re blooming great! Have a great day working in the rain at Watergate 😂🏄🏻♂️
Let him know what YOU really think in the comments 💙🫶

Harry here is a Blue Surf OG ✌️Adam and Gemma took over Blue in 2024 and he’s been a coach from the start 💙
We could sit here and tell you all the great things about Harry... But we’d rather you read what people on his lesson think of him 😏:
1. “A huge thank you to Harry for an unforgettable surfing experience! 🏄♂️ Your patience, encouragement and expert knowledge made learning so much fun. You made us feel confident from start to finish, even when the waves had other ideas!”
2. “We had two beginner lessons. Harry was so helpful for our first time surfing. He taught us how to read the waves and pop-up in such a digestible way and just made it an experience we won’t forget!!”
3. “We had Harry as our surf instructor. Super professional, friendly and relaxed at the same time. It’s a really nice vibe at Blue.”
4. “WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE! I had a two hour lesson with Harry, who was brilliant. He made me feel comfortable in the water almost immediately, and had me up on my feet catching wave in 10 minutes. Not only was he a great instructor but he was also great company and made the lesson super fun!”
5. “Booked a 1-2-1 coaching session and had the most fantastic experience from start to finish. Harry was my coach and, for someone so young, he was extremely polite, courteous, knowledgeable and fun. He explained that conditions in the water were quite tough, but made sure I was safe and felt comfortable throughout the entire session.”
6. “Incredible experience today with our patient instructor Harry. 4 adults, plus 3 kids under 14. Helped the kids and adults get up into the sweet spot of the wave, or even getting them on the same wave! 🌊. We didn’t think it would happen, but we all popped up even for a millisecond 🤭. It’s a testimony to Harry’s tuition.”

If you’re booking a surf lesson for children in Newquay, then the bare minimum you’d expect is for your child to finish the session a better surfer.
Rest assured, our small lesson groups and talented hand-picked instructors take care of that part.
What’s slightly less obvious is all of the other skills kids pick-up during their two hours surfing with us. Things like...
How to build connections with strangers during a shared experience 🙌
The resilience needed to see an intimidating activity through till the end 🦸♀️
A genuine respect for the ocean and how wild it can be on its day 🌊🌬️
That a little patience is sometimes needed if they don’t take to an activity straight away 🧘♂️
The unbeatable feeling they can get when they persevere at a difficult task and succeed 🎁
That first spark of genuine independence as they catch and ride a wave on their very own board 🏄
How much their confidence grows from the initial pre-lesson nerves to post-lesson grins 🥺➡️😆
With a new-found appreciation for how much joy can be found in the great outdoors on our big beautiful planet 💙🌍
Our easy-going, feel-good, playful style often means that kids aren’t even aware that they’re learning these lessons until it’s too late... they’re too busy laughing and having fun to notice 😂.
With our kid’s, beginner, and family surf lessons to choose from, there’s a lesson just right for ever child; and after a surf lesson in Watergate Bay with us, we can promise that this will be the first “school” they actually want to go back to! 👨🏫😅

Hesitating on whether to book a surf lesson or not because you're worried about falling in? 📱👈😖
We've got news for you 📰: no matter how good you get at surfing, you're going to fall in sometimes! 🤸
Think about it: you're trying to catch, balance, and ride an ever changing moving body of water 🌊. What did you think was going to happen 😂.
We can't say this enough if you're about to start or are currently learning to surf, falling in is...
A part of the fun! 🥳
A part of the process! 🤓
A part of surfing! 🏄
Once you realise that, it stops being something to fear and worry about, and it starts to be something you can enjoy and laugh about (especially with good friends) 😅.
At Blue we want you to get better at surfing... but we also want to help you enjoy what can be a frustrating process (if you let it)...
We do that by creating a surfing home away from home for you here in Watergate Bay, a place where you feel relaxed and welcome every time you come back 🫶.
So don't hesitate - some of the best waves of your life might just be about to pass though - you'd sure hate to miss them 😉
