Big Green Surf School was founded in Spring of 2011 as the in-house surf school for Base Surf Lodge in Newquay. We started out with the aim of providing a more personal surf coaching experience. From 2011 to 2017 we built an amazing reputation in conjunction with Base for the personal, high-quality service and tuition in our lessons.

In 2016 we got the opportunity to become the exclusive surf school and activity centre on the stunning Crantock Beach, through working with the National Trust. We absolutely love Crantock both for the amazing beach and incredible community – we have all been surfing here in our spare time for years so the chance to bring the BGSS lessons and activities here was unmissable. The vibe of the beach fits perfectly with our aims, being able to provide a real personal experience for all of our students with tons of space in the water. We’re sure that you’ll agree it’s a truly special place!

In 2019 we were proud to become an accredited Surfing England school (they are the NGB for surfing) and by AALA (the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority) as a licensed provider of adventure activities for our Stand-Up-Paddleboarding sessions. This ensures that not only are you receiving the highest quality tuition, but that our safety protocols, equipment and training are all up to scratch.
