Our 2025 Season in Numbers
By Elemental Surf Lodge Team
Cornwall's Water Sports Experts
"From 28th April to 27th July 2025, Elemental Surf Lodge and Surf School delivered one of its biggest and most exciting seasons yet."
As the waves settle and the wetsuits dry out, it's time to look back at an incredible 2025 season. Schools from right across the UK made the journey to Newquay this summer, and the numbers speak for themselves.
What We Delivered
Schools ranged from Year 6 all the way through to Year 11, with groups travelling from right across the country to experience Cornwall's world-famous surf at Fistral Beach. Every group had a packed programme of activities delivered by our team of qualified, DBS-checked instructors.
Surfing
From their very first pop-up to riding their first wave, hundreds of students caught the surfing bug on Fistral's iconic breaks in 2025.
Bodyboarding
A firm favourite with every age group, fast, fun and absolutely exhilarating in the Cornish waves.
Bodysurfing
Brand new to our programme in 2025 and instantly a hit with every school that tried it. No board, no problem, just you and the wave. Every group loved it.
SwimSafe Training
Giving students the skills and confidence to stay safe in open water, one of the most valuable things any young person can learn.
Beach Games
Team building, laughter and memories made on some of the best beaches in the country, the perfect way to round off a day on the water.
What Schools Said
"We love it so much we come back every year! Excellent location, with excellent instructors who are knowledgeable and fun. Students talk about how much they enjoyed their enrichment week even years later. For both staff and students, it's the highlight of the year."
South Dartmoor Community College
"The kids said it was amazing, possibly the best school trip they have ever been on."
Hampshire Collegiate School
"Best Y6 residential!"
St Christopher's School Hampstead
2025 was a season to remember. We are already looking ahead to 2026 and can't wait to welcome the next wave of schools to Newquay. If you're a teacher planning a residential trip, we'd love to hear from you.
