JOIN US...

Ready to take the plunge? Here are a few key things to know before you join.

We offer two types of membership: full club membership and social membership. These options are designed to make the club as accessible as possible, depending on what you’re looking for. You can find a breakdown of what each one includes below, to help you decide which is right for you.

When you sign up, you’ll be asked to fill out a quick form so we have all the details we need to get you registered. All new memberships will be processed on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month, so please bear with us!

Once you’re a member, you’ll be added to our members-only WhatsApp group and receive your membership card and welcome letter. If you’ve gone for full membership, we’ll also register you with the Welsh Surfing Federation.

Please note: our membership year runs from 1st July to 30th June, rather than a rolling 12 months from your join date. Renewals paid for in June for the 2025/2026 membership will start on the 1st of July.
