For now our surf school is all locked away, but we are ready and rearing to go as soon as lockdown is over!

Once we can open, this will only be our third summer running Base Surf School and already we have had so many amazing surfers through our doors.

Thanks to all those who are rescheduling your surf trips for later in the year. We cannot wait to go surfing with you 🤙

Currently we are being hopeful and still taking bookings for July, August and September with full refunds available if covid restrictions don’t change.

Are you missing the ocean as much as us?? Sometime

Are you missing the ocean as much as us?? Sometimes the days fly by with ease. Other times we find ourselves twiddling our thumbs and dreaming about surfing.

For exactly these moments we have extended our surf lesson vouchers for 2 years so we can all keep the stoke alive 🤙

Everyone remembers driving to the beach when you’re a kid and being so excited for that first glimpse of the ocean. And whoever spots it first wins.

When we’re young everything is a game and super exciting.

If we view this isolation through the eyes of our inner child, we can see an opportunity to play and discover.

Some of us prefer the surf when it’s big and ons

Some of us prefer the surf when it’s big and onshore with an empty line-up. While others prefer clean and glassy, offshore days despite the busier peaks.

Living in Newquay, we are spoilt for choice of beaches which offer a variety of surf conditions. Fistral Beach faces the Atlantic Ocean square on and catches all the swell even on calm, sunny summer days. While the Bay stretches from the sheltered Newquay Harbour all the way to Lusty Glaze, for the days when Fistral seems a little too crazy.

Who else has a kind of love hate relationship with bees? (All 250 species of them)

It is incredible to see them out and about, buzzing around knowing they are doing all the hard work pollinating the flowers and crops for us all to eat. But when one lands on bare skin it’s hard not to freak out a little bit 😂

Within the surfing world there are many great stories but nothing quite as inspiring as @bethanyhamilton ‘s life story and movie “Unstoppable”. After surviving a shark attack and losing her arm when she was just 13 years old, Bethany started surfing again just 4 weeks after and is now a total badass in the water.

Not only does she compete at the top level of the surfing world tour, she also charges 40ft waves at Jaws (yep with only one arm) AND only 6 months after childbirth!

To get the full story “Bethany Hamilton - Unstoppable” the movie is now available on Netflix and Amazon Prime 🙌

Being in nature or even just viewing scenes of nat

Being in nature or even just viewing scenes of nature is known to reduce stress, anger, fear and increase pleasant feelings like a sense of calm and peacefulness.
⠀⠀
As well as making us feel better emotionally, exposure to nature also improves our physical wellbeing by reducing our heart rate, blood pressure, muscles tension and the production of stress hormones in our bodies.
⠀⠀
So let’s use what we have like our gardens, our balconies, our windows or even our posters on the wall to expose ourselves to nature as much as possible during these days.

With surfing out of the question for the foreseeable, how do you stay stoked?

This book ‘Numb’ by photographer Tim Nunn and surfer @ianbattrick is definitely one of our favourites for getting pumped on cold water surfing!
From dealing with bears in the wilderness of Canada to volcanic eruptions in Iceland, driving for days in Norway to surfing heavy slabs in Scotland, this book is a window into some of the less explored corners of the surfing world.

How are you keeping your surf stoke alive? Share your ideas in the comments below 🤙
