Rachel Murphy helps you overcome your fear of winter surfing.
Whether it’s cold-water dipping, sea swimming, ice bathing or surfing, you’d have to have been living under a rock, not to know about the huge growth in cold water immersion.
The health benefits are widely known, the way that it makes you feel could be the ultimate, natural buzz. And surfing, in the winter months, takes it one step further.
Be bold, embrace the cold!
Wrapping up warm, hiding in front of the TV with Netflix on is tempting during the dark months in the UK. But it’s a tricky cycle to get in to. You feel lethargic, chubby, as though you’re stagnating and it isn’t great for your mental health. conversely, if you get out in the elements, push yourself (a little) physically, get to know other women who are on the same journey, then learn something new, you are ticking some huge boxes on the feel-good-factor list!
Surfing in winter – myth busting.
We have some good news for you. Surfing in the winter, doesn’t mean you have to get freezing cold. Wetsuits are so good now, that it will pretty much be just your face that touches the water, you still get that amazing buzz from the elements, but without getting cold to the core.

The stoke of winter is infective.
“Our Winter surf coaching weekends are more popular than our summer weekends and the buzz around them is electric.” Says Randi Senger, part of the office and event team at Women and Waves. She goes on “When guests leave the water, get changed back into their clothes and are enjoying their post surf-session coaching with our expert team, the atmosphere is electric, the team spirit is like nothing else.”
Don’t worry about being a shivering mess, you won’t be! Here’s what to expect from our coaching weekend:
Enjoy the process.
No doubt, if you hire some equipment, get changed in the rain, at the beach car park, struggle to walk to the beach with a huge board. Then get smashed by the waves as it’s the wrong tide, you will probably become a one-time-winter-surfer. We have made it our mission to take the pain out of the process. It’s all in the detail. Dry wetsuits, heated changing rooms, boards waiting at the beach, location selection based on our teams years of experience, use of a private beach with all the space you need. We decided to put together this handy flow chart so that you can see exactly how everything unfolds.
