Tips if you are going to do Surfing in United Kingdom
Scott Iman Jones posted on 14 June 2021 17:52 | Reading time: 5 Minutes
Being possibly the most well-known water sport around the world, it’s hard to decipher why there aren’t many people who know about surfing in the UK. There are roughly 500,000 active surfers here, with the vast coastlines of the UK harbouring some of the best surf spots for beginners to advanced. Surfing offers you the chance to experience the thrill of riding waves, feeling the sea breeze in your hair and really just learning to enjoy the moment – there’s nothing quite like it! If you’re yearning to learn more, here are our top 5 reasons why you should go surfing in the UK.
1. Feel the ‘stoke’ for real
The ‘stoke’ is the feeling of excitement, pleasure, happiness and thrill that you only experience whilst surfing. If you know surfers you’ll hear that word a lot – and now is your chance to experience it for yourself. Get lost in the moment as you paddle through the tranquillity of the sea, waiting for the perfect swell to take up your board and feel the rush of the waves beneath you, and the thrill of dismounting whether you manage to ride it out or have to bail. Whilst most people think you have to travel far and wide to go surfing, we’re here to tell you that you’ll be able to experience this in your backyard – so don’t miss out and take the plunge!

2. An incredible full body workout
Going surfing improves your balance, strength and coordination like nothing else – it is totally unique and not replicable in any gym. Whilst you’re paddling you’ll be working all the muscles of your upper body; you’ll build a thick back and big arms, and then once you start riding, your core strength will keep your balanced whilst also providing a strong foundation from your legs. Whilst all of this is happening you’ll also be increasing your cardiovascular fitness through controlling your breathing – all in all it’s the perfect workout. And better yet, you won’t even feel like you’re working out at all!

3. Increase your confidence
When you learn how to surf you’re learning a new skill, and there’s nothing that can boost your confidence more than mastering something previously unknown to you. Especially when you’re in the open waters faced with the coming waves, it takes courage to be able to tackle it head on and try to control it; every time you surf it’ll be under differing conditions, so imagine the confidence you’ll accrue after beating the unknown multiple times in a day!

4. People of all levels are welcome
The beauty of surfing is that no matter where you go, or who you surf with, there’ll always be waves for everyone. What’s more, the British Isles and absolutely chock-a-block with surfing schools for all ages – from children to the elderly – there’s no age cap when it comes to surfing! So wherever you are in the UK, the closest beach to you is bound to have a surf school where you can learn the basics or improve your skills. If you’re even more advanced, why not try bracing the winter waves at hotspots all across the country and brave those exciting winter swells.

5. Spectacular views
Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, and wherever you choose to go, rest assured that there will always be an absolutely spectacular view waiting for you. Imagine stepping out onto the beach during the sunrise, completely in solitude as the orange sun reflects off of the morning waves and taking on the first swells of the day. Or what about paddling in the waters after a long day at the beach, enveloped by the beauty of the sun set as you wait for the final waves of the day, ready to lounge around with good company and good vibes afterwards. It truly is a sight to behold, and the feelings of excitement, adrenaline, and relaxation are unparalleled.

When should I go surfing in the UK?
When the sun is out, the waves are more controlled and the warmth is all around you means the perfect time to go surfing. During the summer – although UK beaches can still see their fair share of rain – is the best time for you to take up your board and either start learning or enjoy the day out practicing your skills. With average water temperatures being between 8 and 19 degrees Celsius, you won’t need to worry about a wetsuit and you’ll be able to fully enjoy your time in the waves. However, if you’re more advanced and prefer a more isolated surfing experience to really hone in on your moves, we’d suggest bracing the cold and heading out in the winter – the huge swells and isolated beaches make for the perfect practice grounds.

David's experience
"Me and my Girlfriend did the half day surfing with Nic. He was very professional and taught us the basics to get going.
If you've never surfed and want to give a go this is a great way to start. We loved every minute of it and would do it all again."
