About Us

Surfing England is the recognised National Governing Body for Surfing in England

We’re Surfing England, the national governing body for surfing in this country. Whether you’ve just caught your first wave or you’re a barrel-happy shredder, we’re here to help you get more of it and more out of it.

We’re a membership organisation run for (and by) surfers, working with surf schools, clubs and coaches from Scarborough to Sennen. We want to help surfers grow from grassroots to greatness. Or maybe just your first green wave.

We’re not for profit, but we are for passion. It doesn’t matter if you’re a future Olympian, a legend of your local break or just wiping out for the very first time: we all know life’s better in the surf.

There are more than a million of us in England getting into the surf each year, and we’re here to spread the word and encourage a culture that welcomes absolutely everyone. We’re proud to represent the whole surfing family, including bodysurfing, bodyboarding, shortboard, longboard, SUP surf and adaptive/para surfing. Because everyone’s invited to share the stoke.

So join us, and together we can grow the sport we love, protect the waves we ride and change the future of surfing in England.
