Global Boarders School Surf Experience
This is a unique opportunity for any child aged 8 – 18, who can swim 50M confidently and unaided, to experience 2 - 5 full days surfing at a variety of the best spots in Cornwall, with trusted, fully qualified professional CRB cleared surf coaches who are there to take care of their every requirement. They will experience real surfing, in different locations [conditions permitting] in a relaxed, un-pressured environment.
The combination of an individual’s inexperience of surfing and [often] the ocean, make for a skill-learning and empowering experience. After the earned rush of being carried to the shore by a wave, firstly lying down and then standing up, individuals feel exhilarated, challenged and rewarded; there is also fun watching and discussing the development of the student-team as surfers - again helping to break down existing barriers; enhance inter-personal relationships; raise self awareness and promote collective responsibility. The compound effect of this profound and addictive physiological surf experience naturally unites any team of students quickly and effectively. With our unique approach we have successfully and professionally facilitated the ultimate Sustainable School Surf Experience whilst making it accessible, fun, safe, empowering and rewarding by drawing out the spirit and true potential of the individual.

Global Boarders A Little Less Tick Tock
Surfing is a journey - A Search both geographically and personally. Uniquely, we provide an Award-winning Surf Experience which meets The Search whilst striking a balance between the conditions and the requirements of the surfers within any given group. Whilst our days are structured and our minds focused we do not stick rigidly to a clock as weather and sea conditions change from moment to moment. This journey takes time.
