And suddenly, there it was. The sun setting to my left, the golden small hill to my right with cute and curious cows walking about and grazing peacefully. The wind rustling the leaves of the trees behind me. There it was, and that was all that was. In this life, I am still unsure about the right questions to ask. But I am sure that that moment, that time of beauty, is at least one of the answers. In a place where others could have just seen a farm, Jey, a man of vision, and his partner Zoe, saw a Surf and Yoga retreat. Where others just saw an empty field, they saw a beautiful pond. And they dug it out themselves with their bare hands, carving their dream one shovelful at a time. Victor was our host. A man-boy who carries the immaculate purity of the free spirits. A man it would pain to see caged in an office job in a big city. A soul of movement, balance, and honesty. The community of instructors - a small community in a small town. Kindling the fire of the surf spirit and keeping it alive. The friends of the instructors, who flocked over once the day was done, like little birds coming to check out what is new in the garden. I could speak of facilities, price, and comfort, but that is not what I’ll remember from this trip. I live of impressions, stories, and memories, and these are the ones I’ll bring with me. Perhaps, so should you?

I wish I could give these a billion stars. Best stag weekend ever! The wild camping site was awesome. We missed out on the giant SUPing due to weather, however we got extra time for the coasteering and it was a blast! Every member of staff was tip top from the start of the booking process, Zoe was great, answered any questions I had especially considering trying to organise a stag do of 14 people can be a stressful thing. Willow was our host, he was available at the campsite and was our instructor for the coasteering along with Lucy, they both did a great job of making us feel safe and having fun during the coasteering, even some of the lads with fear of heights jumped the big ones, with the encouragement and guidance. Wetsuit and gear hire was straight forward. You will have to arrange travel between the campsite and the activity centre but this is easily enough done, we had a minibus collect and drop us off with no issues. From the drop off/car parking point at the farm/campsite, it's a bit of a trudge through fields (especially if it's been raining) so recommend wellies or old trainers. It was great! axe throwing, fire pit and BBQ on site. Heated showers and long drop loos too. Can't fault it. Everyone had a sick time! Can't recommend Cornish Wave enough

I did the group Adventure Weekend as a solo person, and had the best time! There were lots of people also on their own or in pairs, so it was a great opportunity to make friends and this was really encouraged by sharing tents and having food together! Wild camping was really fun, with games, good factilities, a lake to swim/ walk around, and a fire pit with shelter. The coasteering was so fun, Willow was really supportive as none of us had done anything like it before. Surfing was great, again Willow and Victor were super patient and really coached us through the sessions so we could get the most out of them! I loved the activities, and would definitley do both again. Thanks to Cornish Wave for an awesome experience :)

Amazing weekend! I went with one friend, we quickly made friends with the rest of the group (mixture of solo and group travellers), our hosts/instructors (Willow, Vyctor and Aimee) were so lovely and were fantastic surf instructors - most of us could even stand up by the end of the second day of surfing. Coasteering was really fun, our instructor was so encouraging and properly challenged us. The campsite is gorgeous, quality bell tents and air mattresses were provided.
