But why Fins?

Surfing made easy

Surfing with Fins is super easy. You can book and pay in advance completely hassle free using our smooth online booking system.

On the day of your lesson you can park in one of the public carparks directly behind our facility. Once parked up you can get changed in the comfort of our heated changing rooms. (We’ll provide all your equipment for you).

We’ll then walk 2 - 5 minutes to the surf (depending on what spot you choose) and be shredding before you’ve had a chance to say Surfsup.

Our easy going approach eliminates any stress and hassle from your surfing experience. All you have to worry about is turning up and bringing your smiles as we guarantee you have a fun time!

Prime location, great facilities.

Fins is nestled in-between Fistral Beach and Newquay bay. No matter what the surf conditions on the day you’re scoring good waves that are well matched to your ability.

Both beaches are less than a 5 minute walk from our heated changing facilities and are surrounded by cafes and eateries so you’re never more than a stones throw from the action, whether surfing or spectating.
