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.

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.

Full Membership

Join us as a full member of Channel Women Surf. Full membership includes the following exciting benefits:

  • Registration with the Welsh Surfing Federation. This means that you have access to third party insurance while in the water.*
  • Access to our exclusive members-only WhatsApp group.
  • Member discounts on brands and local businesses.
  • Subsidised social events.
  • The ability to participate in surf social meet-ups organised by Channel Women Surf.
  • Eligible to vote at our Annual General Meetings.
  • Ability to participate in competitions as part of Channel Women Surf.

Price: Membership is offered on a tiered system depending on circumstances:

  • £15 for reduced membership (for those experiencing financial difficulty or receiving benefits)
  • £20 as the standard membership rate
  • £25 if you’d like to support another member’s reduced fee

* Your WSF third party insurance covers you for the following surfing activities: shortboard, longboard, kneeboard, bodyboard, body surfing and stand-up paddle boarding. Activities may take place in ocean/salt water, coastal areas, wave pools, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, canals, and inland waterways — including surfing at The Wave, Bristol.

Social Membership

Not quite ready to dive into full membership?
Our Social Membership is a brilliant way to get involved, stay connected, and become part of the community without the full commitment.

As a social member, you’ll get:

  • Access to our members-only WhatsApp group
  • Discounts with selected brands and local businesses
  • Subsidised social events throughout the year

Please note: Social membership doesn’t include registration (or insurance) with the Welsh Surfing Federation, and social members aren’t eligible to vote in our Annual General Meetings.

Price: £10
