The
infamous 'Fistral Beach' is Britain's premiere surfing beach and home
to all the U.K.'s major surfing competitions as well as the International
A.S.P. event.
Fistral is renowned for its quality and consistent waves. The north
end is suited to the experienced surfer especially at low tide where
the sand banks provide punchy, sucky hollow peaks.
The middle and south end of the beach are more suited for the less
experienced surfer, with gentler and smaller surf as a rule.
Lusty Glaze Beach is a privately owned beach located in Newquay's
'Bay.'It is more sheltered when the surf gets bigger and is offshore
under the predominant southwesterly wind. The location is quieter
than Fistral and it's a more family orientated beach. The surf on
Lusty is ideal for kids as it is generally smaller and gentler than
Fistral.
Lusty is used as a back up location & 90% of lessons will take
place at Fistral. On days when the swell is big and the wind southwesterly,
the bay is the best place to surf in Newquay.We have two beach bases
which offer a good variety of conditions and suitabilities under various
conditions.
