Your safest place to learn & grow on the water
Always wanted to surf? Or already started and feeling stuck? Learn alongside women who have been there too.
This is a supportive space to build confidence, improve your skills, and enjoy surfing again.
That dream of surfing you have? It's still possible.
You've always wanted to surf but...
❌ “I think I’m too old to start now”
❌ “I don't even know where to begin"
❌ “Big waves are scary”
❌ “You don't want to look and feel silly”
Or you gave it a go, but...
😩 You got frustrated and stepped back
🌊 You feel stuck in the whitewash
🤕 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 thing that really holds most women back in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond?
Confidence.
Technique matters. But it’s hard to use well when you feel rushed, overwhelmed, or unsure in the water.
That’s why Surf Society exists.
It’s an online community and training space that supports women to build both confidence and technique, on their own terms and at their own pace.
You get guided lessons, skills instruction, mindset support, and connection with other women who are learning right alongside you. 
Because surfing isn’t just movement.
It’s mindset, ocean understanding, and confidence in your own abilities.
When confidence and technique grow together, with the right support around you, surfing starts to click.
That's when surfing becomes SO MUCH FUN.

Support that helps make surfing easier
Hi, I’m Ali. After years (and years) of saying I always wanted to learn to surf, I finally started at age 48.
I started learning to surf at 48. What finally got me into the water wasn’t a technique or a program. It was other women. Encouraging me. Normalising the nerves. Reminding me I didn’t have to have it all figured out.
And even though my husband Sime is a surf coach, I was still scared. I still had doubts. I still didn’t know where to start.
That’s what Surf Society is built on.
Surf Society is guided by me, with Sime supporting as our guest expert. Sime is a highly experienced surf coach and board designer, and together we focus on both confidence and technique, in a way that works online and fits real life.
Everything inside Surf Society is designed to support you around the surf.
Before you paddle out, so you know what to focus on.
Between sessions, so things start to make sense.
Afterwards, so you can reflect, adjust, and keep building confidence.
That’s how surfing starts to feel easier.
Because surfing isn’t just for teenage boys or women who started as kids.
It’s for you.

Common Questions
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.
No stress! All live sessions are recorded, so you can watch them anytime inside the community.
Membership is US$7 per month (around A$10, or $1.50 a day) for full access to all tutorials, workshops, and the community. You can cancel anytime - no lock-in contracts, no stress.
