Cornwall Surfer Girls has already set up some great opportunities for members including the social BBQ and surf night, competitions, discount to festivals and a discount on equipment rental and lessons thanks to Freeride Surf School in Perranporth. 

For the coming season, the club will also be looking to provide coaching to members; with a range of level I and II coaches already on the committee, they hope to offer coaching on all aspects of surfing. 

As a result local surfer girl members will now be receiving regular advice on duck diving, cutbacks, general surf skills and also benefiting from video analysis. The club has also joined forces with Salt Air Adventures who will be running regular training sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday evening.

The club has set up a website at:

Co-founder Tamsin Godfrey says, "Cornwall is the home of British surfing and girl surfers are becoming more and more recognised within the sport as we have so much to offer.

"Surf clubs are important to the local community so that people can participate, develop and have fun. Cornwall Surfer Girls will be a member of the National Governing Body for surfing, the BSA, so all members, coaches and individuals and all activities will be covered by BSA insurance."

The meeting takes place Friday 18th July from 7pm; meet at the Freeride Surf School premises by the Seiners Arms. Local campsites include Tollgate Farm and the Haven holiday park, for those who want to fully enjoy the evening!
