BasicComfy

It's "wild glamping" - you get the authentic woodland camping vibe but with the comfort of bell tents, air beds, and proper facilities.

How to Prepare
You only need basic fitness and the ability to swim 25 m. Bring swimwear, beach shoes, towel, sleeping bag and warm layers—we’ll send a full kit list after booking.

Worried About Cold Water or Cornish Weather?

The Atlantic may be fresh, but thick wetsuits keep you cosy while our qualified guides pick the best, safest waves whatever the Cornish weather

All our gear is top-notch and regularly checked. Our guides are not only certified surf instructors but also qualified beach lifeguards. They know the local spots inside-out and will only take you to waves that are suitable for your ability, ensuring you can focus on the fun.
