Westcountry Surf School

Westcountry Surf School is a surf school in Watergate Bay, Cornwall, England.

Westcountry is a family-focused school at Top Field Car Park, Watergate Bay, run by siblings Joel and Naomi, with Hangout Cafe on site. They describe themselves as the longest-running surf school in Watergate Bay.

Groups are a maximum of 6:1. Softech boards and Sola wetsuits are replaced yearly. There is heated changing, private parking, about a five-minute walk to the beach, and 1.5 hours of water time.

They also run early and late sessions, surf and yoga, hire with free Newquay-area delivery, and private group lessons at Fistral via Layback Cafe. The camper van is for those Fistral groups, not a shuttle to the Watergate break.
