Exciting, fun. - Great fun, felt safe but was definitely a challenge- really liked that the instructors encouraged us to stick within our limits and we didn’t feel pressured to go beyond what we were comfortable with. .

Coastering experience - James our guide was a really nice guy. He was knowledgeable about the cliffs & tides. He made his instructions really clear & was really calm. I would say this is from strong & confidence swimmers.

Great team and service - Fantastic service from Robin. Surf lessons at Praa Sands in July 2023 with Louie still rated as the best lessons by our two children. Then surf hire when in Sennen this October plus coasteering around Mousehole. Brilliant. Thank you Robin and team. See you next year!

Fun educational adventure - Did this for the first time with my 15yr son we both really enjoyed it, both instructors Robin and Tyler were very friendly experienced and informative and made our experience enjoyable and safe. We did this low tide and would do it again high for a different experience. I highly recommend this

Failed! - We had a fantastic afternoon coasteering but it wasn’t with Freewave Surf Academy! I booked a two and a half hour coasteering session out of Bossiney for my god daughter and her father (both relatively experienced at coasteering.) The booking was made in March for the beginning of August. On the day before the booking it got to about 1545 and I had a sudden gut feeling that it would not be going ahead! I rang to enquire and was told that he had just got back from holiday and that he would get his colleague to call me back. We all found this slightly strange that a seasonally driven activity company owner would go on holiday during the school holidays but I guess needs must! At 1903 I finally got a call to tell me that the session was to be cancelled due to difficult weather conditions the following day. This seemed odd as I had already checked weather conditions and though expected to be blustery they were otherwise not forecast to be likely to be prohibitive. The weather forecast had not changed for the day for over 48 hours so to be notified at 1903 of the cancellation seemed somewhat irregular. Of course, safety is Freewave’s priority (I hope) BUT I think managing expectations early enough for people to make other arrangements is critical. I live locally and the trip was for visiting family (very active family) so I was lucky enough to be able to contact Cornish Rock Tors who we have used for multiple activities over the years. I rang at a very unreasonable 1920 hours but was answered and booked in immediately for the next day on a 2 to 1 basis. He was very surprised to hear that my originally planned outing had been cancelled for weather reasons, that I had not been contacted to cancel it in good time and even more surprised to hear that one of the primary people from Freewave was on holiday in high season! We had an amazing session coasteering with Cornish Rock Tors. Yes, it was blustery and battering but it was amazing. Particularly for two fairly experienced people at coasteering and other extreme sports. The father was an Army Para and the owner on holiday was made aware of this and his monocular vision now – several weeks previously. The only reason I had booked Freewave was to go to a different area. I will not be booking them again. So do I recommend this company and their experiences – well NO – I can’t recommend their abilities in coasteering as not experienced and I would deff NOT recommend their communication or customer service skills.
