I'm yvette - the accidental surf club founder

I am a firm believer in making the most of your surroundings and we are absolutely blessed with the most beautiful beaches and surf here in North Devon.

It's vital to provide a supportive, encouraging and fun environment for all of our members. The ocean doesn't judge you - so we shouldn't judge each other. It's a team!

Positive representation for our women and girls is a key factor to show them, surfing is for all of them - all of us! This empowers them to be curious about what else they can achieve.

As a Personal Trainer and someone who sees the value of exercise as a release both mentally and physically it forms an integral part of what we do both on our surf sessions and in our winter season.

There is nothing better than watching the joy that comes with riding a wave, falling off a wave and being in the sea with your girlfriends!

Whatever your age, sometimes it can be difficult to build new friendships, but in the sea you are always watching out for each other and cheering each other on - those bonds are pure friendship without biased.
