Cornish Wave
Six Things To Know Before Your First Surf Lesson
MILITARY ADVENTUROUS TRAINING
Cornish Wave offers the military a diverse range of specialist activities, including coasteering, surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, all tailored to adventurous training. Complement these with our Coastal Leadership Program, focused on teamwork and leadership, or our Remote Private Woodland Camping Venue, featuring campfires, axe throwing, and survival skills.
These activities build resilience, leadership, and teamwork by challenging participants in dynamic and non-traditional ways. Military Adventurous Training (MAT) fosters decision-making under pressure and prepares individuals for the demands of service, combining physical challenges with critical skill development in Cornwall’s inspiring environment.
WHY MILITARY ADVENTUROUS TRAINING MATTERS...
Adventurous training is most effective when it takes individuals out of their usual comfort zones. By facing both personal and group challenges, participants can grow in unique ways. For example, a fear of heights can be conquered through rock climbing, while coasteering requires the collective effort of a group to navigate a course successfully. These activities provide the opportunity to operate as a team in a new, fun, yet demanding environment. Additionally, the outdoor setting introduces the element of unpredictability, where weather and conditions directly impact the group’s performance and decisions, further reinforcing resilience and teamwork.
Our approach doesn’t just challenge individuals physically; it creates unique team-building opportunities through real-world obstacles. Activities like coasteering and surfing provide the perfect environment to build trust, communication, and coordination among team members in a way that feels fresh and engaging. Operating outdoors in dynamic conditions, participants also learn to adapt to unforeseen challenges, sharpening problem-solving skills vital in military contexts.

Participants work together to navigate rocky terrain, encouraging team collaboration and trust. The unpredictable nature of the coastal environment, including varying tides and weather conditions, adds an extra layer of challenge, making this activity an ideal way to foster adaptability and problem-solving skills.

The physical demands of paddling and riding waves build strength and stamina, while the unpredictable nature of the sea fosters resilience and problem-solving under pressure. Surfing provides an exhilarating way to push boundaries and build confidence in a dynamic environment.
