I actually came to Newquay mostly for climbing. As I stayed in the Trewinda lodge I thought I could as well try out some surfing. So I took my first surfing lessons ever there and really had so much fun. My first lesson was with Mark, the others with Alex. Had a lot of fun with both of them and... More

Great group, does what is says on the tin! I have two teenaged daughters and wanted a school I could trust. Mark led a team of instructors who were all v responsible and organised.

My 10 year old daughter really enjoyed her 3-day course with Mark and Sam. She told me it was a sport she would to take up; if we lived in a international surf capital like Newquay! All in all, great lesson, great instructors!

Also after having finished the... More

I enjoyed every minute of it! Me and hubby went for a half day course, and Alex is really good in teaching us, and very encouraging. Both of us managed to stand on the board and now we regret why we didn't booked a longer course.

Having never surfed before I was a little nervous and didn't want to commit to a full day. Mark, the owner, was really supportive and allowed us to decide at dinner time if we wanted to stay for the full day - which we did. By the end of the day we could just about stand up on both feet... More

This was my 5th stay with Trewinda/Dolphin for a Surf and Stay and as always it was great! Mark and Paula are always very welcoming and friendly. The lodge is very clean and comfortable and in a good location and the surf lessons were great as always. Im know i'll be back :o)

Had a half day lesson with Mark and was brilliant. Told us everything we needed to know, cracked some jokes and got us surfing in no time. Cheers dude!
