Made in Cornwall
Dan Holley founded Adventure Bay Surf Shop in 2026, many in the local area will know him from Adventure Bay Surf School and many of the local lifeguards learned their craft and were qualified as Surf Lifesavers by Dan too!
After many summers on the beach (and by many, we mean many, Dan's only spent one summer not working at the beach in SE Cornwall since he was 18) Adventure Bay has helped many people get into the water and learn how to surf.
It feels like a natural progression to now expand into getting people kitted out to explore too.
Whether you're looking for Indo intel or advice on how many mm of neoprene you'll need at Fistral vs the west coast of Ireland during winter swells Dan is your man.
Dan is joined by a crew of committed water lovers in the shop ready to help you whether you're a seasoned surfer, paddleboard explorer or cold water swimmer (alternatively, you might just like a nice outfit for a sundowner pint, we're not judging).
There’s been a surf shop at this spot in Saltash for 20 years, we’re really proud to keep this pit stop on the map.
For those heading to the North Coast or living or visiting the South East corner of Cornwall this spot has been fuelling stoke and keeping kit fresh for many years.
We can’t wait to keep a good thing going.

Surf Etiquette
- Right of Way (Priority): The surfer closest to the peak—where the wave breaks first—has priority.
- Don't Drop In: Never catch a wave that someone else is already riding. If you accidentally do, apologize and exit the wave immediately.
- Don't Snake: Do not paddle around a surfer who is already in position to steal priority. This is considered disrespectful, often called "snaking".
- Paddle Safely: When paddling out, go around the breaking wave (the "shoulder"). Do not paddle through the peak or in front of a surfer currently riding a wave.
- Control Your Board: Avoid ditching your board, especially when others are nearby. Wearing a leash is essential, but it is not a substitute for controlling your equipment - it helps you protect your investment too!
- Apologize: Mistakes happen. A simple, polite apology goes a long way if you make a mistake, drop in, or get in the way.
- Respect the Ocean: Do not litter and always respect the environment.
