Scarborough is a place we hold very dear as it is where we learnt to surf. There are a number of beaches in the area to choose from depending on conditions and it's a great place to start your surfing journey. It's also probably a lot closer by train than you think. We love the East Coast!

The accommodation for the weekend is in a beautifully situated house conveniently located for the surf just a small walk from North Bay.

We will take guests to the best break on each day and provide tuition and feedback in order to develop everybody’s surfing to the next level. The camp will be a great opportunity to surf with like-minded women in a safe and supportive environment. The camp will be limited to five spaces in order to ensure maximum input for each guest.

Our Improver camps focus on how to catch green waves, how to position yourself on the wave and ride in trim. We look at the different types of waves, ocean safety, surf forecasting, building ocean confidence in the water and how to paddle out back (surf depending) - the camps are a great opportunity to ask as many questions as possible and we have an excellent range of surf resources to help you improve.

In order to get the most out of the camp some surf experience is necessary; the ability to paddle for, catch and pop up on white water waves is required. Get in touch if you are unsure if this is for you, we can have a chat and see which camp might be best - there is a beginners camp the previous week which will be better suited if you have never surfed before or are getting to grips with the basics.

Guests arrive at the camp Wednesday morning ready for their first surf lesson. After the first session and some lunch we will make our way to the house. Guests should expect the camp to finish around 1pm on the Friday.


We provide -

  • All meals for the Wednesday and Thursday with breakfast on the Friday. Expect hearty home cooked vegetarian food, nothing fancy, just good and wholesome.

  • All equipment if needed including access to fibreglass boards and longboards - you can bring your own of course.

  • Two x two hour surf sessions on the Wednesday & Thursday with a supervised/supported surf session on Friday morning. There is always the potential for this to turn into one bigger surf session if the tides/wind/conditions dictate.

  • Surf forecasting and catching green wave theory tips on an evening

  • Photo & video feedback sessions - absolutely essential to help build confidence and improve. We are really lucky to have the talented @tombingphoto on board to document the weekend and help give specific feedback about your surfing.

  • Surf Skate coaching by qualified and experienced skateboarder Tom Bing. This is optional as some may not want to join in however it has proven to be a fantastic tool for understanding surf concepts & improving your surfing confidence.

  • Surf Theory, concepts, culture and equipment discussions will take place throughout the camp

  • Surf movie night

  • Beautiful photos for you to keep at no extra cost

  • Yonder & Finisterre goodie bag!

“I’ve had lessons with Sally for over 4 years now and I can’t recommend her more highly. Her guidance and support in and out of the water has really helped me to progress and given me the confidence to surf independently too. I’ve started to see a growing number of women who have had lessons with Sally now become confident surfers and its great to see so many other friendly female surfers out on the north east coast.

I’ve just returned from an intermediate surf camp with Yonder, where I really believe I learned more in a couple of days than I’ve learned in the past year. Tom takes amazing photos and video footage which he and Sally analyse and provide feedback on. It’s invaluable to see where you need to improve and progress.” Victoria

  • Important Disclaimer - Unfortunately, due to the very nature dependent reality of surfing we cannot necessarily guarantee good surf conditions. We always run our camps in areas that are more consistent and during the more consistent swell months in order to increase the potential for good conditions. If the surf is flat we will explore the coastline, run paddle sessions and workshops with the option of a sea swim (gentle sea swim!) at Flamborough head!

  • Deposit disclaimer: Deposits paid can not be refunded. It takes a lot of administration to organise the camps, a lot of time and energy with limited availability so if you’re booking it is important to know that the deposit will not be refunded. Once you have paid in full we will only be able to refund the remainder (not the deposit) if we are informed in enough time to secure a replacement, no later that one month before the camp and only if we can get a replacement.
