How d’ya like the sound of a ‘learn to surf’ weekend with fellow SCUKers in Newquay from £76? We are teaming up with the Animal Surf Academy to provide a weekend of surfing and merriment in deepest, darkest Cornwall. It’s our first year to do this, and as snow is indeed only frozen water, and many of us snowboard-riders also share a love for other boardsports, we figured it was well overdue to round up a posse of wannabe surfer-dudes and get on a surfari to the UK based mecca of all things wave-based – Newquay.Now that I’m sufficiently embarrassed at the use of the surf-speak, let’s get down to business.

We'll be meeting at the Animal Surf Academy Newquay, based on Tolcarne Beach (directly opposite the safi) here, 30 minutes before each lesson. Tolcarne beach is part of a new complex with cafe, restaurant and the surf school. For more info on the beach visit www.tolcarnebeach.co.uk. When you have booked, drop Stu an email on stu@soulsports.co.uk to let him know you are coming along. AccommodationWe have a couple of accommodation options for you to choose from, from cheap and cheerful B&B bunks at the Safi Surf Lodge to finer B&B surroundings at the Hillcrest Hotel. Safi Surf Lodge: The Safi is a no-frills budget solution to staying in the surf capital of England. They offer clean en-suite bunk rooms with bed-linen. You’ll need to bring a towel and you don’t get a kettle in your room, but you do get 24 hour check in/out and access to the residents only ‘Sunset Terrace’ Bar. Situated right over the beach, with stunning views, the Safi is perfectly situated for our first Surf Bash. We have secured a 10% discount on their standard rates for the weekend, so SCUK members can stay from £18 pppn! To book simply call 01637 872 800 and quote "SCUK".
