The wonderful Cornwall. For us surfers that live here year round there’s nowhere else we’d rather be. With 250 miles of coastline and over 300 beaches to choose from, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to surfing. So before you book a trip to France or Portugal, take a moment to consider why it might be worth visiting Cornwall instead. If you need persuading, read on below.

It’s time to celebrate another wonderful woman in our Surf Sistas Interview series! This time we had the joy of chatting to long term friend of Surf Sistas and all round one women circus Rosie Underwood.
And although she’s a legend of the big city lights, Rosie is a grounded soul, creating space to enjoy the ocean through surfing and swimming as well as dedicating time to helping others.
You may be a city dweller yourself, exploring how you balance life as an urbanite with your passion for surfing or swimming. You might find Rosie’s story inspiring and relatable!
We chatted to her earlier this year to learn more about her life and her relationship with surfing and the ocean. -
At Surf Sistas, we’re always on the look out to share stories of talented Women from the Surf Scene. Recently, we caught up with Bella Bunce, an emerging filmmaker who recently got back from a trip to Mexico.
Beth and Bella teamed up again at the beginning of this year, taking a road trip through a remote peninsula in Mexico, to bring us a new surf film: Unplugged. What a dream team!
With the far flung corners of Mexico known for being pretty off grid and hard to get to (and also dangerous), we were intrigued to here how they navigated the challenges of off-grid living, filmmaking and wavehunting. Bella tells us all about it below.

However with choice of wetsuits, comes more jargon and more confusion.
We’ve simplified it. In this blog we’ve given you the lowdown on what thickness wetsuit you need based on the water temperature and time of year.

We scoped out some incredible swim spots. Think crystal clear waters, mixed with shades of blue and turquoise giving way to gleaming white cliffs and pine tree forests that smell fresher than daisies (and there were a lot of those too).
We fell in love with this little Island. Exploring cove after cove filled with clear water and white sand never stopped enchanting us. To give you a taste of what we found and what might be to come from Swim Sistas, here are some Postcards from Menorca.
