Yonder Womens Surf School

I went on the Scarborough surf camp this last few days and it was such an incredible experience. The level of dedication and care that goes into the entire experience is above and beyond, everything is thought about so carefully, and with the small group, you feel like you get so much attention. It's so great to learn with a small group of women (who were as lovely as Sally and Tom, who are next level great) and to have each other to follow and cheer on. The teaching is so detailed - I now feel like I understand so much about surfing that wouldn't have even entered my brain I would need to know, but that means that I now have the confidence to be able to look at where I want to go, look at the waves when I get there, and figure out how I'm best going into the water and what to do when I get in there. SO SO USEFUL AND FUN! The photo feedback, the films we watched, the surf journal, the skateboarding lessons, the delicious food, all of it made such a perfect couple of days. Feels weird to think I'm not going in the water with everyone again tomorrow! I'm hooked :D THANK YOU!!! Also, I've bought clothes from Yonder, and they are cracking. Great t-shirts and hoodies, awesome socks, and the zinc smells amazing. Highly recommend this company in every way, thank you!

I've been wanting to attend a Yonder surf camp for a couple of years and it was well worth the wait! Sally and Tom are so caring, encouraging, and supportive in and out of the water. Their authenticity and passion for female surf culture shines through in everything that they do. Attending their surf camp has reignited my confidence and motivation in pursuing my surf journey. I'm so glad to be a part of the Yonder family.

Low risk, tremendous reward! Massive thanks Sally and Tom for showing me how to enjoy being in the sea again. This really means a lot. I learned so much more in the surf camp than when I was regularly-ish surfing back home. Ive surfed previously, but where conditions are optimal(think non-freezing consistent breaks, with channels to paddle back) so getting in the North Sea was quite a shock to my system. This camp helped me overcome my reluctance to get in the cold and unfamiliar sea. From day 1, Sally and Tom taught us how to keep safe in the waters and observe surf conditions. I cannot emphasize how much reassurance this gives. Each session was the perfect balance of personalized coaching and having the space to work it out myself. From someone whos lived all her life in daily 30c weather, trust Sally when she says you will get warm once youre in the water. The surf skate session was fun, youre transported back to the fun of playing as a kid. Food was always delicious and I couldnt ask for a better group to do this camp with. Everyone was friendly, supportive, and nice. Youve reached the end of my review. Take this as your sign to go and book a session/camp with Yonder! Ps. It is a 3-day surf camp. Expect youll get tired or experience some muscle ache. It is all worth it though!

Sally and Tom have created such a beautiful and supportive school for women to surf. Went to the beginners camp and learnt so much more than just popping up - gained the confidence to understand surf conditions independently, analyse technique, paddle(!!), learn at my own pace and meet some fab people along the way. Thank you for an amazing camp and everything youre doing for womens sport and surf culture! Go Yonder

Ive just had the most wonderful 4 weeks of surfing as part of Yonders Madre sessions! Its rare that I look forward to taking a dip in the North Sea on a snowy morning, but Sally and my lovely new Madre mates made it such a joy! Such a sense of freedom and release as I entered the waves and left my busy thoughts and everyday stresses behind to steal a couple of glorious hours just for me! Sally has a knack of putting everyone at ease and was great at supporting each of us at just the right pace. So excited to move my surf journey on now!
