We will be staying in a lovely house with our own outdoor area, perfectly located close to three excellent beach breaks.

We will take guests to the best surf break on each day and provide tuition and feedback in order to develop everybody’s surfing to the next level. The camp will be a great opportunity to surf with like-minded women in a safe and supportive environment. The camp will be limited to six spaces in order to ensure maximum input for each guest.

This camp is for absolute beginners & beginner plus, those who have perhaps surfed before but are wanting to build on their experience in a supportive environment. Check our ability levels here. The teaching is super focussed on each individual in order to ensure progression for everyone.

The camp will be limited to six spaces in order to ensure maximum input for each guest.

Guests arrive at the camp Friday evening ready for their first surf lesson Saturday morning. The evening gives us chance to get settled in, meet each other and share some stories!

Lessons will focus on how to paddle for and catch your own waves, how to ‘pop up’ and stand on a surfboard, learning about the ocean and building ocean confidence, surf forecasting and surf safety. If you are already confident in these areas the camps can also help you to start to pop up and go down the line in trim but you may also want to look at our improver camp as an option. We have excellent resources to help you in a wide range of areas.

We provide -

• All meals for the Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday with breakfast on the Monday. Expect hearty home cooked vegetarian food, good and wholesome.

• All equipment necessary to surf including quality wetsuits, boots gloves (if required)

• Two x two hour surf sessions on the Saturday & Sunday with a supervised/supported surf session on Monday morning. There is always the potential for this to turn into one bigger surf session if the tides/wind/conditions dictate.

• Surf forecasting and ‘pop up’ technique tips on an evening

• Photo & video feedback sessions - absolutely essential to help build confidence and a better understanding of what’s happening! We are really lucky to have the talented @tombingphoto on board to document the weekend and help give specific feedback about your surfing.

• Surf Skate coaching by qualified and experienced skateboarder Tom Bing. This is optional as some may not want to join in however it has proven to be a fantastic tool for understanding surf concepts & improving your surfing confidence.

• Surf Theory, concepts, culture and equipment discussions will take place throughout the camp

• Surf movies on tap

• Beautiful photos for you to keep at no extra cost

• Yonder & Finisterre goodie bag!

All lessons are taught by Finisterre Ambassador Sally McGee, experienced surfer and ASI Accredited surf coach

We always organise a WhatsApp Group for attendees prior to the camps so that lift shares to the camp can also be arranged for those that are keen.

Guests are advised to bring any alcohol and snacks that they may want.

Accommodation: The house is situated within walking distance to the Village of Croyde and all three main beaches that we intend to surf on. There are two twin rooms available and two private double rooms.

Parking - There is availability for a few cars on the property but we may have to organise ourselves to make sure vehicles are safely parked elsewhere for the duration - to be sorted once booked on.

”I can’t recommend Sally and Yonder enough—just back from one of the camps as an absolute beginner, and I learned so much! Sally is so patient and really takes the time to explain everything—she’s super encouraging and even as a beginner, I felt like she was taking me really seriously. Most important though, I just had so much fun! The camp was amazing—they had given so much thought to every little detail. I can’t wait to have more lessons with Sally again soon!” Dorothy

• Important Disclaimer: Unfortunately, due to the very nature dependent reality of surfing we cannot necessarily guarantee good surf conditions. We always run our camps in areas that are more consistent and during the more consistent swell months in order to increase the potential for good conditions. If the surf is flat we will explore the coastline, run paddle sessions and workshops with the option of a sea swim. We do run a ‘getting no matter what’ policy though so be prepared to get in the sea!

• Deposit disclaimer: Deposits paid can not be refunded. It takes a lot of administration to organise the camps, a lot of time and energy with limited availability so if you’re booking it is important to know that the deposit will not be refunded. Once you have paid in full we will only be able to refund the remainder (not the deposit) if we are informed in enough time to secure a replacement, no later that one month before the camp and only if we can get a replacement.
