Sri Lanka, nestled in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, offers a perfect blend of diverse surf breaks and a unique cultural experience. With a varied coastline made up…

4am Tuesday 4th July we found ourselves on the road with one mission .. crossing the county line and making it to North Devon by 8am!

Why were we hotfooting it over the border so early you ask? We’d had the call from Speedo Outsiders Club …

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.

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.

We’re delighted to be one of the sponsors of the UK premiere of Yama Surf Film. A film by Newquay based filmmaker, photographer and surfer Maddie Meddings and surfer and activist Lucy Small.

Yama follows Australian surfer and activist Lucy Small as she travels to Ghana to meet with a group of pioneering female surfers and skaters. Once a stronghold of the transatlantic slave trade and with a history of Atlantic aquatic surf culture that precedes colonial invasion, this is a story of a reclamation and joy.

If you’re in the twixmas limbo, neither here nor there you might want to watch a surf film to provide some grounding and comfort. We’ve listed below some great surf films, old and new you can watch. We’ve picked ones that are mostly free or found on Netflix and Amazon.

Spend a dreamy long weekend with Swim Sistas this Summer, wild swimming on the stunning North Cornwall coast.

One thing we have noticed as we’ve transitioned through the pandemic is how we are craving experiences over stuff. We think the best gifts for our loved ones this holiday…

Lucky us we’ll be visiting Costa Rica at just the right time to catch Surf Sistas’ coach Kara Sparkman’s solo show at the Art & Soul Gallery in Santa Teresa. We love Kara’s ocean inspired watercolours and we can’t wait to check out her new work.

Are you wondering what it is like on a Surf Sistas adventure in Indonesia? Then look no further as Aussie TV journalist Caty Price has posted a review of her experience on one of our Surf Sistas retreats in Bali in May 2015.
