Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve paddled your way here. Surfing Women is a space for women who are learning to surf, dreaming about surfing, or simply obsessed with the ocean. Even if we can’t always get in the water, the pull of the sea shapes us.
Here, we share our stories, our adventures, the retreats we love, the lessons we’re learning, and the destinations we daydream about.
You’re part of the surf sisterhood now — let’s find your wave!

🌴 How Surfing Women Started: A Story for Every Woman Who’s Ever Daydreamed About Waves
Let’s gooooo!!
Surfing Women began as a quiet obsession. You know the kind… the late-night surf videos, the endless Google searches for “best surf retreats for beginners,” imagining the feeling of finally popping up on the board, and wondering what it would be like to live a more ocean-led life. Watching the girlies surf in Lombok ahhh… i wanna goo!!
Even if we’re still learning, even if we don’t surf every day, even if the nearest wave is 1,000 km away, the ocean is still part of us.
This community was created for women who feel that same pull. Women who want stories, inspiration, tips, courage, and a place to dream loudly about the life they want.
🏄♀️ Learning to Surf as an Adult.
The Real, Honest, Messy Beginning
Learning to surf later in life is not a straight line.
It’s awkward pop-ups, nervous laughter, bruised shins, and that one wave that changes everything.
We’re here to tell the real stories!! The ones that usually get left out of surfing culture or trolled when we post!!
What we’ll share:
how it actually feels to start from zero
the best advice from our early lessons
breakthroughs that happen in unexpected moments
stories from women around the world learning just like you
If you’re learning to surf as an adult, you’re not behind — you’re rewriting the rules!
