Take on Cornwall’s coast with Cornish Wave’s Monster SUP sessions—a high-energy paddleboarding adventure for groups in Newquay’s vibrant waters.
Cornwall’s rugged coastline is renowned for its wild beaches and crystal-clear waters, and Newquay stands as the heartbeat of this outdoor playground. Here, Cornish Wave offers a stand-up paddleboarding experience unlike any other—the Monster SUP. This isn’t your typical solo paddle; it’s a dynamic, team-centered adventure where up to 10 paddlers can harness the rhythm of the waves together on one giant board. Over the course of a focused two-hour private session, groups—from complete novices to seasoned paddlers—will glide along the Atlantic coast under the guidance of Cornish Wave’s expert instructors.
The Cornwall coastline around Newquay is famed for its striking cliffs of Devonian sandstone, punctuated by golden beaches and hidden coves. Monster SUP sessions take full advantage of these natural features, inviting participants to navigate a unique stretch of ocean that is both visually stunning and refreshingly challenging. The board’s size demands teamwork, building communication skills and creating a fast-paced, joyful group experience. Whether riding rolling swells or pausing to take in the views, paddlers share an intimate perspective on Cornwall’s marine ecosystem.
Newquay’s history as a prime surfing destination elevates the Monster SUP offering, connecting to a local culture deeply tied to the sea. Cornish Wave taps into this legacy with a welcoming, safety-first approach demonstrating why this coast is a premier spot for water activities. Beyond the exhilaration of balancing on the water as a team, participants walk away with memorable moments and a fresh outlook on Cornwall’s natural beauty.
Designed to forge connections between people and place, Cornish Wave situates Monster SUP at the intersection of fun, fitness, and the outdoor spirit. It’s a standout choice for visitors looking to energize their trip to Cornwall with high-impact, ocean-based adventure that goes beyond the usual paddleboarding fare.
