Why Choose Breakers Surf School
Breakers Surf School was founded in St Agnes in 2006 by a local surfer who grew up on this coastline and still calls it home. From the start, the aim was simple: to offer surf lessons that feel personal, respectful, and rooted in the place we teach.
We believe the beach is a shared space. Surf schools work best when they recognise that and give something back. That’s why we regularly offer free or cost-price lessons for local children and quietly keep an eye on the beach, fitting in small clean-ups whenever time allows. It’s not a campaign. It’s just part of being here.
Lessons built around real people
Surfing can become a lifelong passion or be a one-off adventure, and both are equally valid. Every body is different, every confidence level is different, and every reason for getting in the water matters. Our lessons are shaped around what you want from the session and what works best for your body.
If group lessons aren’t the right fit, we’re always happy to offer private tuition and adjust the experience to suit your needs.
Progress without pressure
If you’re keen to surf regularly, we’ll help you build solid foundations early on, even if that means falling a bit more in the beginning. It pays off later. If you’re here simply to experience the joy of standing on a board, we’ll happily adapt and make the session about fun, confidence, and connection with the sea.
Breakers Surf School exists to share one of the most rewarding sports in the world, while respecting the individual, the community, and the environment that makes it possible.
If this sounds like your kind of surf school, we’d love to welcome you into the water.
