What.An.Amazzzzzing.Weekend!! It was just fabulous fabulous fabulous. The instructors were really great, really encouraging, I was really delighted with them and all their help. I have a pain in my face from smiling and laughing so much, often for no other extraordinary reason other than being in the sea. My soul feels nurtured and revitalised, I am so grateful.

Czarina, UK, Beginner Surf & Yoga Weekend in Cornwall (2020)
You created such a supportive environment which was not only lovely to be part of but was also really helpful to be brave and daring!
SURF LESSONS
Each day your surf coaching will be with ISA qualified Surf Sistas instructors in our female only surf sessions – your tuition includes the rental of a surfboard and wetsuit if needed.
Your tuition will be tailored to your ability and the goals that you have for your weekend with us, but could, for example cover;
Beginners – We will cover the basics of learning to surf including how to position yourself on the board, catch waves and pop up, and importantly how to understand the conditions and stay safe in the water.
Improvers – refining pop-up technique, paddle technique, turtle rolling and/or duck diving, turning, trimming and stance, understanding conditions and wave selection.
At Surf Sistas we like to keep our coaching ratio’s as low as possible to help you to maximise your surfing progression. On our Surf & Yoga weekends you can always expect a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4 to ensure lots of personal attention from your instructors.
We will surf at either South Fistral beach which is in front of the hotel, or one of Newquay’s town beaches depending on the conditions.
COMING FROM LONDON? HOP ON OUR SURF BUS AND LET US DO THE DRIVING!
We have been running our Weekend Surf Bus from London since we started the company ‘Big Friday’ in 2003. We wanted to make it easy for landlocked London surfers to escape the city after work on a Friday and get their wave fix without taking time off work. All you have to do is get yourself to Hammersmith & then sit back and let us do the driving!
We depart from in front of the Novotel in Hammersmith at 5.45pm on the Friday and leave Cornwall at 4pm on Sunday, dropping off in Hammersmith and Victoria.
YOGA
Join us for our special Yoga for Surfing session. If the weather allows we have a really special space to practice on the grass overlooking the waves. We provide Yoga mats and props but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
The class is suitable for all levels of Yoga experience
ACCOMMODATION:
Our accommodation for the weekend is the newly renovated 4 star beachside Esplanade Hotel at South Fistral in Newquay. Overlooking the waves you will be able to check the surf from your breakfast table.
Choose between a shared twin or double ensuite room, or a single occupancy ensuite double room. During times of social distancing we ask that you choose single occupancy if you are travelling solo. Once these times are past we will reinstate our shared room options for those coming solo.
