UK trips run Friday to Sunday. Members are welcome to arrive anytime from 4pm on Friday afternoon, although most make the dash immediately after work.

The Surf Cooperative sets trip dates in advance that members can then sign up for. With a strong network of surf instructors to draw upon, we can often arrange private surf coaching sessions for surfers of any level on request, but we usually stay close to surf schools either way.

Around two weeks prior to each trip, when numbers are clear, the Surf Cooperative will confirm the exact location for the trip and can begin to help arrange transport for those that need it (although we cannot guarantee a space in a car share, and members take responsibility for their own transport). If any coaching sessions are scheduled, we will send an email with a proposed surf itinerary a few days before arrival.

Then it’s all about getting into the water and re-fuelling with hearty meals and free-flowing drinks.
