Surf Sistas

The wonderful Cornwall. For us surfers that live here year round there’s nowhere else we’d rather be. With 250 miles of coastline and over 300 beaches to choose from, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to surfing. So before you book a trip to France or Portugal, take a moment to consider why it might be worth visiting Cornwall instead. If you need persuading, read on below.

Whilst surfing is our main stay at Surf Sistas, we love to swap it up in the water and try out other ways the enjoy our time in the sea!

Our go to when the waves are funky is Bellyboarding and we’ve got 6 reasons why we think you’ll love it too!

It’s time to celebrate another wonderful woman in our Surf Sistas Interview series! This time we had the joy of chatting to long term friend of Surf Sistas and all round one women circus Rosie Underwood.

And although she’s a legend of the big city lights, Rosie is a grounded soul, creating space to enjoy the ocean through surfing and swimming as well as dedicating time to helping others.

You may be a city dweller yourself, exploring how you balance life as an urbanite with your passion for surfing or swimming. You might find Rosie’s story inspiring and relatable!
We chatted to her earlier this year to learn more about her life and her relationship with surfing and the ocean.

At Surf Sistas, we’re always on the look out to share stories of talented Women from the Surf Scene. Recently, we caught up with Bella Bunce, an emerging filmmaker who recently got back from a trip to Mexico.

Beth and Bella teamed up again at the beginning of this year, taking a road trip through a remote peninsula in Mexico, to bring us a new surf film: Unplugged. What a dream team!

With the far flung corners of Mexico known for being pretty off grid and hard to get to (and also dangerous), we were intrigued to here how they navigated the challenges of off-grid living, filmmaking and wavehunting. Bella tells us all about it below.

Our longboard clinics and retreats are super popular. So we’ve decided to share some insights into what you may learn on a course with us! First up, Cross Stepping. We’ve broken down the cross step, step-by-step, and thrown in 3 key tips from our Surf Sistas coaches to help you get to grips with it.

We’ve been running our women’s Surf & Yoga weekends for over 20 years now. In fact, a little brand history moment, Surf Sistas evolved from these very weekends. Back in…

Being a little leg of the UK sticking out into the Atlantic, Cornwall receives swell year round which means you can surf every month of the year! People often ask me the best time of year to come surfing in Cornwall. My default answer is “it depends.”

My preference is usually Spring or Autumn. But having been asked this question again recently, I thought back to the 2022 season and the sessions I experienced then. On reflection my favourite month in Cornwall, for the epic surf and good times in between, was June

Confused by what all those charts, numbers, arrows and colours are saying when you look at a surf forecast? Understandably. Reading and understanding a surf forecast is like putting all…

Are you in the comfort zone of the white water? Do you need encouragement to paddle out and surf green waves? Maybe you’ve attempted paddling out but the walls of Whitewater smash you back to the inside. Or once you make it to the green waves, you’ve not catching anything!
