About Global Boarders Surf Co
Global Boarders is a multi-location surf school and adventure operator with bases at Gwithian, Praa Sands, Newquay, Porthtowan, and several other beaches across West and North Cornwall. Founded over 20 years ago, the company has grown into one of the county's largest independent surf schools, winning Gold at the Cornwall Tourism Awards and earning a reputation for consistently high-quality coaching across all their sites.
Their core offering is surf lessons for all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to improver sessions, delivered by a team of experienced ISA and Surfing England coaches. Beyond surfing, Global Boarders runs coasteering adventures at Mousehole and the Lizard Peninsula, school group residentials, and corporate team-building days. They also operate a mobile surf school that can set up at secret beaches depending on conditions, giving clients access to the best waves of the day.
The scale of their operation means they can accommodate large group bookings while still maintaining small instructor-to-student ratios. Many of their coaching team have been with the company for over a decade, providing a level of consistency and local knowledge that newer outfits struggle to match.
