This coming weekend (28th and 29th June) Cornish girls have the chance to get into surfing, with a whole new Brazilian theme, thanks to The Rip Curl Girls Tour presented by Renault and in association with Relentless energy drinks and the British Surfing Association (BSA).

The 28th and 29th June will see the tour hitting Fistral Beach and the programme is a young, fun and very rewarding project for all age groups that encourages girls to get active and get surfing with expert tuition from Rip Curl Pro Riders and professionally qualified British Surfing Association instructors. The tour will also head back to Fistral Beach during the Rip Curl Boardmasters from the 4th to the 10th August where lessons will be running with the English Surfing Federation throughout the duration of the event.

In addition to top notch surfing lessons Rip Curl will be offering a goodie bag including event tee shirt amongst other things. Following a days surfing girls can stretch and relax in the Chill Out Zone and also have a chance to experience demos and lessons in the Brazilian Martial art form - Capoeira. Then to finish off an awesome day on the waves Rip Curl will be hosting Brazilian themed parties with live music and DJ's. Throughout the Rip Curl Tour girls will see and meet some of the best surfers on the Rip Curl Girls Team. French longboard champion Justine Dupont will be on-hand in Newquay to offer her top tips to girls.

Girls have the option of doing a full weekend of surf lessons (price £75), a full day (price £40) or a half day (£25.)

Baz Hall, Head Coach at the BSA says, "With girls of every age and ability catered for the Rip Curl Girls Tour is a fantastic opportunity to get enthusiastic about surfing and to challenge themselves with new tricks and manoeuvres while surrounded by friends and the best instructors around. We're looking forward to a couple of fun days!"

There are still spaces left for this coming weekend (28th or 29th June)
