Gwyneth Paltrow has been learning to surf, in England?

Aug 25, 2006, 12:24 GMT

Gwyneth Paltrow has been learning to surf during a British beach holiday.

The California-born actress was holidaying in the English coastal resort of Cornwall, home to the parents of her husband, Chris Martin.

Gwyneth donned a wet suit and braved the chilly waters for an hour-long surf lesson on a chunky beginner's surf board.

One onlooker said: 'By the end of the lesson she was able to ride a wave standing upright, but only for a few seconds.'

Gwyneth's figure looked great in the tight wetsuit, despite her recent complaints that having her second child, Moses, four months ago had left her out of shape.

The Oscar-winning actress' husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, is also a keen surfer.

The couple, who have homes in London and New York, are the latest in a string of celebrities to holiday in Cornwall.

High Grant and Jemima Khan enjoyed a break there last month, and British Princes William and Harry are often spotted in the town of Rock.

Kate Winslet and director husband Sam Mendes also have a holiday home there.
