We were stoked to be nominated for the UK’s top 3 surf school awards for 2017 (and finishing a close 2nd) The awards evening took place at the Carnmarth Hotel, Newquay in association with UKPSA (UK pro surf association)

A huge congratulations to Tynemouth Surf School for taking the win, just beating us by a few votes ! We will be looking to win this next year !! And we must say a well done to the Sennen Surf Centre who were a close 3rd, proving that 2 of the best surf schools in the UK lie right here in Sennen Cove !!

The awards encompass all divisions from our Junior competitors to the Men’s and Women’s Open divisions including some additional awards representative of all corners of the UK scene alongside charitable organisations such as The Wave Project, Christian Surfers & Groundswell.

This year Fistral Beach gave £5,000 to the winner of the Open division to help them compete internationally through the next competitive season. The largest sum UKPSA has passed onto a UK Professional surfer. The aim now is to provide incentive in other divisions on the tour.
