See below for more details on some of what we do.

Membership

All our memberships provide you with access to our socials, and the ability to buy tickets for any of our trips. We accommodate entirely to any level of surfing, and in fact most of our member are new to surfing when they first join. We have two tiers of membership available here, based on how much you will be using our society kit, so you can choose which is most suited to you!

Tier 1: (£45)

This membership allows you to come to all of our socials and buy tickets for our trips. Additionally, it allows you unlimited access to our Surf Lock Up, full of our Boards, Wetsuits, Skimboards, and general gear, for you to borrow for Free whenever you want! This is for you if you know you will be needing kit for your own surf strike missions.

Tier 2: (£35)

Just like Tier 1, this membership allows access to all of our socials, and the ability to buy tickets to our trips. This membership differs as it allows you to rent equipment from our Surf Lock-up, for very cheap prices (see below.) This membership is well suited for those who think they will enjoy our trips and socials, but may not make use of our equipment quite as much throughout the year.

 

Weekend trips

What better way is there to spend a weekend than surfing with your friends!? Throughout the year we run weekend trips for 50 people, to practice our skills on the UK coasts. Leaving Bristol on the Friday evening, we all load on to a coach bound for a hostel in Cornwall or North Devon, armed with a few boards and endless excitement. After arriving and having a quick spoons dinner, its off to bed to prepare for a big day of surf. Saturday is the full day of shredding, with our experienced beginners reps on hand to provide lessons for those who want to improve their surfing. Enjoy the surf, exploring the coast, eating pasties and generally living the surfer life, before all reconvening in the evening for whatever fun our social secs have cooked up! Sunday is for more surf, before we all head back to Bristol in the evening. 

All trips include:

  • All of your equipment should you need it 
  • Lessons with our experienced Beginners reps to improve your surfing
  • Two nights accomodation, and travel to/from
  • Unrivaled fun

 

Kit hire/rental

The UOBSurf lock- up is filled with useful kit: Foamboards, Hardboards, wetsuites, skimboards, roof racks, fins/leashes and much more; all available for the use of our members. Depending on your membership, you will be able to use any of this kit for free throughout the year to take your mates on a weekend strike mission, or rent it from us at a rate of £5 / day. Not a bad deal at all!

 

Abroad trip

Possibly the highlight on the UOBSurf calendar. Each Easter time we pack our bags and head on an adventure for a week of glorious surf and sun. This really is one not to be missed! With all of your meals, accommodation, kit and lessons included, this is a great way to spend time with all your favourite shredders, and improve your surfing in the process! Watch this space for more info on what we have in store later in the year.

In the meantime, check out these pictures and videos from our previous years to get a taste of what these trips are all about:
