Surf Club Social Night – Get On Board with The Wave Project!

For the eighth year running, Women + Waves invites you to join our monthly surf club socials from April to October!

These events are designed to celebrate camaraderie, connect with like-minded women and enjoy the simple pleasures of surfing together.

Tonight surf club night is in aid of The Wave Project! Grab your board and go the distance this September. The Wave Project invites you to ‘Get On Board’ for a month-long, nationwide challenge.

The Wave Project helps to improve the mental health and well-being of young people across the UK, through the power of surf therapy. They’re aiming to collectively cover the entire length of the UK coastline, where every pound raised equates to a kilometre. Help them get closer to their goal of 18,000km! We ask everyone who participates tonight for a small donation on their Just Giving page or we will have a bucket for spare cash on the day at the centre.

The surf club welcomes women of all skill levels, from those dipping their toes in the water for the first time to seasoned surfers looking to catch some waves and share a laugh. Whether you’re interested in bodysurfing, bodyboarding, practising as a beginner surfer in the white water, or just enjoying the ocean, you’ll find a non-judgmental space to connect with others and build a supportive community.

You are more than welcome to use our changing room facilities with safe storage at Newquay Activity Centre. These will be available from 5:15 to 5:30 PM. Once changed, we’ll lock up the centre, grab a group photo and head down to the beach together. If you arrive later, simply meet us on the beach around 5:30 PM.

We’ll be surfing at either Fistral, Towan or Great Western which are all a short walk away from the changing facilities at Newquay Activity Centre, which is located on 60 Fore Street, Newquay, TR7 1LW

After our free surf, we’ll head back to the changing facilities around 6:45 PM. If you’ve stored your belongings there, please keep an eye on the time or follow the surf club leader to ensure you’re back in time. The changing rooms will be locked at 7:00 PM sharp.

After surfing, you’re invited to join us for an optional dinner at one of our favourite local spots. We’ll decide the location on the day.

Please note that these sessions are purely for fun, with no formal instruction provided. Your safety is your responsibility, though you’ll be surrounded by great company.

To join, click ‘Get Tickets’, fill out the form and we’ll then send you a link to our private WhatsApp group for updates.

See you there!
