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.

Our Improver camps focus on how to catch green waves, how to position yourself on the wave and ride in trim. We look at the different types of waves, ocean safety, surf forecasting, building ocean confidence in the water and how to paddle out back (surf depending) - the camps are a great opportunity to ask as many questions as possible and we have an excellent range of surf resources to help you improve.

In order to get the most out of the camp some surf experience is necessary; the ability to paddle for, catch and pop up on white water waves is required. Get in touch if you are unsure if this is for you, we can have a chat and see which camp might be best - there is a beginners camp the following weekend which will be better suited if you have never surfed before. Check our ability levels here.

Guests arrive at the camp Tuesday evening ready for their first surf lesson Wednesday morning. The evening is a great way to get to know each other and share experiences.

We provide -

• All meals for the Tuesday evening, Wednesday and Thursday with breakfast on the Friday. Expect hearty home cooked vegetarian food, nothing fancy, just good and wholesome.

• All equipment if needed including access to fibreglass boards and longboards - you can bring your own of course.

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

• Surf forecasting and catching green wave theory tips on an evening

Photo & video feedback sessions - absolutely essential to help build confidence and improve. 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

Prior to all camps we set up a group WhatsApp so that girls can talk and discuss travel plans. Girls have often shared lifts to the camp through this and the group remains open post camp.

You provide -

Guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol and any snacks they will want for the trip.

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.

Yonder is a family run business, expect good vibes, hearty veggie food and a lovely trip with like minded ladies.

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch on info@surfyonder.com.

“I’ve had lessons with Sally for over 4 years now and I can’t recommend her more highly. Her guidance and support in and out of the water has really helped me to progress and given me the confidence to surf independently too. I’ve started to see a growing number of women who have had lessons with Sally now become confident surfers and its great to see so many other friendly female surfers out on the north east coast.

I’ve just returned from an intermediate surf camp with Yonder, where I really believe I learned more in a couple of days than I’ve learned in the past year. Tom takes amazing photos and video footage which he and Sally analyse and provide feedback on. It’s invaluable to see where you need to improve and progress.” Victoria

• 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.
