Women’s Surf Weekend Newquay: Learn, Progress & Recharge

While we patiently wait for our surf school in Newquay to recover from Storm Gorreti, you might be wondering what on earth happened. If you missed it, check out our ‘Cornish Comeback’ blog. In short? Our little surf shop is currently undergoing some very unplanned renovations.

For now, we’ve set up a temporary home inside The Esplanade Hotel — and we’ve found ourselves with a helluva lot of time on our hands.

So, not that you needed convincing… but we thought we’d give you lovely ladies a rundown of exactly why you should book onto one of our Women’s Surf Weekends in Newquay — in association with ROXY.

If you’ve been searching for a women’s surf retreat in Cornwall, this might just be it. And gents… Valentine’s may be over, but you’ll definitely be in the good books if you surprise her with this as a last-minute gift. Or an extremely early Christmas present (yeah, we’re clutching at straws with that one).

Anyway, let’s set the scene:
You’re new to surfing — maybe even a complete novice looking for beginner surf lessons in Newquay. Perhaps you’ve attempted to surf with your boyfriend who swears he’ll teach you… and then paddles off the second his pinky toe touches the water (Yeh, been there).

Or maybe you’ve mastered your pop-up and you’re ready for the next stage of your surf coaching journey. Whatever your level, our experienced coaches are here to support you — whether you’re learning to surf at Fistral Beach for the first time or progressing your technique in the Cornish waves.

We know Fistral Beach can feel intimidating. But imagine walking into the water with energetic, confidence-boosting instructors — and, more importantly, a group of like-minded women who all share the same goal. Sounds pretty dreamy, right?

So, what does this women’s surf weekend in Cornwall actually include?
We’ll keep it brief — because it’s so jam-packed we’d be here all day listing everything.
Let’s start with the obvious… surf lessons. The weekend includes three professionally coached surf lessons at Fistral Beach, plus a relaxed meet-and-greet before your first session. It’s a chance to get to know your instructors, meet the other women on the weekend, and chat through your current level and personal goals. That way, before we’ve even stepped foot in the sea, we’re all on the same page. Your weekend isn’t just about catching waves — it’s about building confidence, progressing properly, and leaving Cornwall feeling like a stronger surfer than when you arrived.

And not to get too serious, but this part matters.
As a woman who has worked in the surf industry for the last 10 years, I can confirm surfing is a male-dominated sport. So if we can help create more confident, capable and happy female surfers in Newquay and beyond, then we’re doing our job right.

You might be asking yourself — why is this so important to us?
Quiksilver Surf School is a woman-owned business. Building a strong female surf community in Cornwall — where we support one another, celebrate progression, and lift each other up in and out of the water — isn’t just something we offer. It’s something we truly believe in. (Okay, soppy bit over.)

Now, the surf lessons are the stars of the show — but here’s a glimpse of some other pretty cool features:
* A surf quiz (with a ROXY prize, obvs)
* A surf theory session
* Free board and wetsuit hire
* Photo and video analysis (honestly one of the most useful things you can do on your surfing journey!)
* Lunch at The Esplanade Hotel
* A ROXY goodie bag
* And… not to brag, but at the end of Saturday — slightly achy, maybe — you’ll head two minutes down the road to Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa for a well-deserved sauna and jacuzzi session.
And if you’ve made it this far, you deserve a treat!
