Calling all women who’ve always wanted to surf (but something’s held you back)
It’s not too late to be a surfer girl - whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond!
Never surfed?
Or maybe you started but got stuck?
You’re not alone - let’s do this together.
That dream of surfing? It's still possible.
You might be in one of two places right now:
You’ve always wanted to surf, but…
❌ “I think I’m too old to start now”
❌ “I don’t know where to begin”
❌ “The ocean feels intimidating”
❌ “I’d feel out of place in the lineup”
Or you gave it a go, but…
😩 You got frustrated and stepped back
🌊 You feel stuck in the whitewater, unable to progress
🤕 Your confidence took a hit after a scary experience.
🛑 Life got busy, and your board is collecting dust.
Either way, your desire to be in the water hasn’t gone away. And neither has your potential.
The biggest thing stopping women from surfing isn’t fitness or skill - it’s confidence
Most surf schools and YouTube tutorials focus on technique but skip over the mental game.
Surfing is just as much about mindset as it is about skill.
When you build confidence, understand the ocean, and have the right support, surfing gets easier—and way more fun.
Hey, we’re Ali and Simon - and we know exactly how this feels
Ali: “I spent 20 years saying ‘I’d love to learn to surf’ before I finally did it at 48. I kept waiting until I was 'more fit' or 'lost some weight'. Turns out I just needed the support of other women to get me out there... and now my kids even encourage me to surf because I come home on a natural high!"
Simon: “After 35 years of surfing, coaching, and designing boards, I kept seeing women held back—not by lack of skill, but by lack of confidence. We started Surf Society to change that.”
Because surfing isn’t just for teenage boys or women who started as kids. It’s for YOU.

FAQs
Yes! Surf Society is designed for total beginners and women who’ve started but feel stuck. We break it all down, so you feel confident before even stepping into the water.
No problem! We’ll guide you on choosing the right board. In the meantime, you can learn about surf safety, the top skills you need, and work on your mindset before you even hit the water.
Lessons are great, but they don’t always cover what happens in between - like how to read the surf, build confidence, or figure out why you’re struggling. Surf Society helps you bridge those gaps so you feel more prepared and improve faster.
