The Royal Navy Royal Marines Surf Association run several beginner/improver weekends each year. The weekends are often run on Gwithian beach in Cornwall, although this venue may change if the conditions are deemed unsuitable.

​

The aim of the weekend is:

• To promote and introduce personnel to the exciting sport of surfing

• To further improve skills of personnel who have previously spent some time in the water

• To provide a programme that enables Service personnel and their dependants valuable time for respite.

 

The weekend includes, within its price;

• 6 hours of surf instruction from fully qualified coaches and lifeguards (2 sessions on the Saturday and 1 on the Sunday)

• All equipment necessary will be provided (i.e. board, and wetsuit), however participants are encouraged to bring their own wetsuits, boots and gloves if available

• Temporary membership to the RNRM Surf Association

 

There are plenty of campsites, hostels and hotels in the local vicinity, although we as a club do not organise group bookings.

​

Things to keep in mind:

• Warm/change of clothing in case of inclement weather

• Sunscreen in the event of hot weather

• PARENTING – Participants must be over the age of 8, and any children under the age of 16 will require parental supervision. All parents are reminded that this weekend is a highly active weekend.

• Club merchandise will be available for purchase

 

Once you have submitted your electronic application form we will e-mail you with payment details.

 

The cost of the weekend is currently £55 per person.
