This week, we’re heading down to the rugged north coast of Cornwall to spotlight something pretty special happening in the lineup. We’re talking about Newquay Women’s Surf Club CIC — a community-driven surf collective that’s redefining what it means to belong in British surfing.Born out of a desire to create safer, more inclusive spaces in the water, Newquay Women’s Surf Club CIC isn’t just about catching waves — it’s about confidence, connection, and community. Set against the iconic breaks of Newquay, this club has quickly become a cornerstone for women of all ages and abilities looking to step into the surf scene — whether for the first time or the fiftieth.In this episode, we dive into how the club started — a grassroots movement sparked by local surfers who saw the need for more representation and support in the lineup. What began as a few informal meetups has grown into a fully fledged Community Interest Company (CIC), offering structured surf sessions, mentorship, training pathways, and even leadership opportunities for women wanting to move into coaching and water safety roles.We talk about the power of shared experience — from cold winter paddles to those golden summer evenings when the swell lines up just right. Members share stories of overcoming fear, imposter syndrome, and the sometimes-intimidating culture that can exist in busy UK lineups. There’s laughter, a few wipeouts, and plenty of talk about the magic that happens when women back each other in the water.Beyond surfing, the club is championing mental wellbeing, ocean stewardship, and environmental awareness — proving that surf culture here in the UK is evolving in all the right ways. It’s about creating space, not taking it. About community over competition.If you’ve ever wondered how local surf collectives are shaping the future of the sport, this one’s for you. Because at its heart, Newquay Women’s Surf Club CIC isn’t just changing who’s in the lineup — it’s changing how the lineup feels.So grab a brew, settle in, and let’s get into it.
