A series of surf weekends aimed exclusively for women and girls will take place in Newquay next month.

British surf company Gul and SurfGirl magazine have teamed up to produce the fun-filled sessions held on Fistral Beach on September 9-10 and 23-24.

The courses offer both beginners and novices the chance to be taught by expert English Surfing Federation (ESF) coaches.

“Surfing is one of the best ways to keep fit and have fun in summer and all year round,” Liz Barneby, Gul communications manager, says. “These weekends are the perfect opportunity for women from eight to 80 to learn a new sport, make friends and embrace Cornwall’s vibrant surf culture.”

The sessions’ organisers promise a friendly and supportive atmosphere, and say a willingness to learn is more important than fitness.

The events will also offer yoga and massage sessions, as well as diet, health and fitness tips.
