Booked last minute Paddle boarding for 4, Matt was a really good teacher and showed up around caves and got us to jump off a rock. We all absolutely loved it and had an amazing day, we were all standing up by the end of the lesson. We are already planning to come back and do it again. Would definitely recommend!

What a week! Matt is one of the planets shining lights he glows with enthusiasm for surfing and imparts this love to his students. Great teacher and just a joy to spend time with this guy. If we weren’t so far away this would be a weekly thing but sadly it will be yearly. See you next Easter.

My daughter and I had a paddleboard lesson with Matt and it was great. He explained everything clearly, took time to get everyone in the group standing and then gave us a little tour of caves around the bay. The rest of the team were all friendly and helpful when we made enquiries and later hired a board the next week. Would highly recommend.

Within the 2 hour lesson matt had me and both my older teenage sons up and surfing. Great experience and the way they inform of where the best surf is the day before was great cannot praise the company and Matt enough great fun had by all and definitely getting the surfing bug. Matt had a class of mixed people and made every effort to coach and praise everyone whilst put in the surf will be returning beyond doubt

We had an amazing couple of hours on a Mega SUP as an adult family group!
We were going to have individual SUPS but it was too windy!( British summertime!)
Matt was our instructor and guide and he was so informative and his passion for the local area and the water shone through.
As well as paddle boarding we all went snorkeling and explored a cave or two!
I would highly recommend this activity as a group.
Thank you 😊

What a superb week! We can not praise Naomi and Matt (and they’re amazing surfing school) highly enough. My son Hugo joined in Aug 2021 while on holiday in Falmouth.
He had such a great time that we are planning our 2022 holiday around their next set of Aug dates and he’s even asked for his own board for Xmas!!
Initially we couldn’t attend the full week and yet they kindly adapted and fitted us in. We managed to move some plans around and he did 4 out of the 5 days in the end (and would have done more if he could!!).
Not only did he learn the skills needed to go from ‘complete novice/beginner to standing on his board’ but the social and emotional support Naomi and Matt provide for the kids is priceless. My son especially bonded with Matt and thought he was “so cool”. Thank you guys. You made his holiday xxx
Ps. As parents, we loved travelling to all the different beaches (chasing the best waves and weather) every morning that was pinned to our phones - we discovered new, wonderful beaches we would never have found on our own.

Having surfed on and off for a number of years, I am at the stage where I feel my longboarding progress is flat lining. I therefore decided to enquire about a solo intermediate lesson with FSS, before travelling down to Falmouth for a week in the middle of January.
My past experience of surf coaching/lessons has been a bit hit and miss. I was therefore really happy that my lesson with Matt turned out to be a big success. Matt was brilliant. Firstly, he knew exactly where the best surfing conditions would be on the day. This was in the middle of January, and most of the North coast was blown out. Secondly, he spotted weak spots in my surfing after watching me catch my first couple of waves. We decided to work on wave selection, and also turning to keep close to the power pocket of the wave. Matt's feedback was so valuable, and I'm sure it will help me progress.
I highly recommend. I'm planning on a second lesson later in the year once I have had more water time and chance to work on the feedback from the first lesson.

Matt is a fantastic and highly experienced surf instructor - our son had some amazing lessons with him and really enjoyed the fact Matt surfs with students to demonstrate. Being a mobile surf school, Matt picks the best surf location for each session. He is also a great guide on his SUP safaris - our sessions with him were the highlight of our holiday.

Matt lives and breathes surfing and his enthusiasm is completely infectious. He wants you to have as much fun as he has. Our two (18 and 15) had 2 brilliant lessons with Matt - the youngest now wants to move to Cornwall, live in a van and surf every day!

We had the most fantastic few hours with Matt on the mega sup. Kids absolutely loved it as did I. I 100% recommend Matt and Falmouth surf school. We can’t wait to come back for a surfing lesson (or 2!!) huge thanks Matt for the best time 🙌🏼✨
