Board Women, Yellow Hat Skate School and Ride On Retreats bring you a totally inclusive weekend retreat, dedicated to all things board sports, perfect for beginners and advanced board enthusiasts alike!
Board women was founded by Caroline Keylock and is a community driven business with a mission to inspire and empower 30+ women (and gender minorities) through the world of board sports. We were introduced to Caroline through Sarah Smith aka Yellow Hat. Sarah is a GB qualified coach and has been teaching us to skate for the last 6 months. She encourages and inspires others, especially girls, women and gender minorities to take up skating and to spread the joy of riding to as many people from different backgrounds as possible.
We knew from our first meeting that our values aligned and there was definite scope to collaborate on an event together; we’d love to have you join us for our first Wave, Surf & Skate Retreat!
This weekend is the perfect way to hone your skills or get you started on your surf and skate journey. We wanted to organise a super relaxed weekend to bring together like-minded women to support each other in board sports. Being at The Wave is the perfect place for a mix of abilities, with everything from beginner through to advanced waves, you can book as many lessons or open sessions as you like for the time you’re there.
There’ll be plenty of time for skating as well, with skate lessons available on the mini ramp or flat ground, with Sarah, and we’ll be skating the paths by the campsite after sunset - perfect for surfskaters and street skaters alike.
Accommodation is at The Wave campsite in glamping style tents, all kitted out with comfortable beds, a kitchenette, woodburners, private toilet and a large balcony.
The tents are just a short walk away from the rolling waves and the Clubhouse where you will find the surf shop and cafe-bar serving delicious food and drink, a roof terrace for taking in the views, a lake walk and more.
