Pride Surf Bliss - LGBTQ+

Celebrate Pride!

Do you want to connect in nature with other self-identifying LGBTQ+ women?

Do you want to feel stoked, tranquil, peaceful, energetic, content and learn a new skill?

Who is it for?

This special Pride Surf Bliss is exclusively for self-identifying women who also identify as LGBTQ+

(We do hold other monthly community Surf Bliss sessions - so please share our info with any of your LGBTQ+ supporters and allies so that all women get the chance to experience the magic of a Groundswell Scotland session.)

Surf Bliss is a series of regular community surf, lifeguarding, surf fitness & wellbeing gatherings to dive deeply into self developing wisdom through celebration of sea and surfing. This Pride Surf Bliss will do all of this while also giving you the opportunity to connect with other women within the LGBTQ+ community.

Each session self identifying women of any experience or ability are welcomed including complete beginners. You will be guided by Groundswell Facilitators, surf lifeguards, physical trainers, wellbeing practitioners and surf coaches to embark on a journey of healing, empowerment, skill building and uniting through surfing.

These sessions are designed to build skills and community to support and fund Groundswell Scotland trauma recovery programmes.

We will have the opportunity to gain wisdom about the ocean environment and rescue techniques when the surf isn't as good, building confidence and knowledge in the surf.

Come with an open mind and an open heart ready for the adventure!

Tickets are a donation of £60 which includes surfboards, wetsuits, surf life saving equipment and hot drinks in our cosy caravan at Pease Bay! (Please bring your own snacks to refuel afterwards.)

Any questions email Becca:

Looking forward to surfing with you.

Waves of love!

Becca, Lorna, Ange and the Groundswell Team
