Women and WavesAll about us

Women + Waves are a collective of passionate surfers who have created a unique and thriving women’s surf group.

Who we are

Women + Waves are a surfing collective specialising in bespoke surfing camps and training exclusively for women. With over a decade of experience, we’ve developed a unique, female-led coaching approach, perfected through trips starting from Cornwall to worldwide destinations.
We stand apart from other surf schools by offering a supportive, low-pressure environment where coaching is tailored to each individual. Learn alongside like-minded women, achieve your surfing goals, build confidence, and have fun.

Why Women + Waves?

In choosing a Women + Waves trip you will be choosing a surf company that has received over three hundred and fifty glowing 5-star reviews on Tripadvisor, Google and Facebook. More than 60% of the customers who experience one of our trips or weekends return for another.

Why do they keep coming back? Because we have identified the barriers women experience when learning to surf and are able to guide and support you to overcome them.

What we do

Women + Waves trips are suitable for every level of surfer from absolute beginners to pros. Women of all ages, backgrounds and abilities are welcomed to this community. 40% of our guests are over the age of 40, and 90% of our guests attend solo.

With Women + Waves you get small group sizes, handpicked surfing locations, equipment chosen for your ability and of course a like-minded group of legendary surfing girls to share waves with - with Women + Waves there really is nothing to stop you from becoming the surfer you always dreamed of.
