Weekend prices range from £99 - £140 you can stay in a quality hotel in Newquay or Swansea. (In Swansea we can also offer Celtic Roundhouse, tipi or yurt up to you.)

Here is a Borat stag, made to surf with a pink board and costume, later in the day he was made to surf with just the thong on which caused a bit of a stir here on Gower. Poor chap, I hate to think what happened to him in the famous wine street later. If you are currently looking for fun weekends for your stag or hen weekend we can help you, we offer one night or two night stays based in a four star hotel close to the action or you can camp, hire a yurt or a teepee.

The weekend trip would involve meeting at the hotel on the Friday p.m which is only a short walk from Swansea or Newquay train station, food can be arranged and the hotel bar is open late for residents. 

The_surfing_hen_party Transport can be arranged which if requested will pick you all up on the Saturday morning after your cooked breakfast. At around 10/10.30 am pack lunch will be provided and off to the beach for the day. Surfing lessons in the morning for all, we can cater for various levels of surfer as we are a 4 star BSA surf school.  After the first session you can have lunch and then you have the rest of the day to  use our equipment and hang out at the beach.  The day usually finishes about 16.00 but can  wind up earlier or later upon request.

Oahu, Hawaii.

  • Perfect_righthand_point_peeling_at_lani_
    I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.

Chris Bertish big wave surfer

    Chris Bertish is not only a good friend of mine but one of the few people that I trust in the most challenging of surfing conditions. Chris, simply in my view is one of the best big wave surfers in the world.
