Who we are

A beach club built on tides and good company

We've been paddling out at Fistral since 1987, and not much about that has changed — we still meet at dawn, still argue about the forecast, and still come in grinning. We're a proper club: coached sessions every week, the annual Cove Classic to look forward to, and a clubhouse where the kettle's always on.

From absolute beginners catching their first whitewater to county-standard competitors chasing the next heat, everyone here started somewhere. Whatever your level, there's a wave with your name on it and someone happy to show you the line.

What makes us us

Three things we hold onto, season after season.

Everyone gets a wave

All levels welcome — our coaches put as much time into first-timers as they do competitors.

Coached, not just casual

Weekly coached sessions on Fistral mean you actually improve, whatever stage you're at.

Local and loyal

Cornwall born, Fistral based — we know this beach, its moods and its best mornings.
