Activity
Quick introduction to our society…
Welcome to Pompey Surf, where you will meet possibly the best people in the entire Uni. We are a group of like-minded people who truly enjoy each other’s company (even if we are not surfing) and cannot wait to meet new people. Going Surfing with us is easy; just pop a message in the group chat and see who is about - I am sure someone is always up to catch waves. As well as that, every Wednesday we will have a social that should make breaking that ice even easier!
The trips we do…
We have West Witterings only 30 minutes away from us, making an excuse to always surf so much more plausible. On top of that, we always go to the wave in Bristol ( a wave simulator ), which never disappoints!
We are planning more UK trips hopefully for this coming year; join our socials for info!
ALSO, we always plan a surf trip abroad in the sun near the end of the year, where you get to experience new culture as well as surfing.
What we provide…
By joining Pompey Surf, you have full access to all of our equipment, including;
Surfboards, Paddleboards, wetsuits and roof racks.
We also plan hands-on surf lessons for all levels and you will receive exclusive access to our trips.
Please message us on socials so we can sort out everything you need if you ever want to get out there and have your own surf adventure with everything at your fingertips!
Can’t surf?
No worries! The majority of society, and even some of the committee, cannot actually surf, so please do not worry at all! It can be scary, but even showing up is enough, and If you want to go further, there are experienced Surf members that would be more than happy to help you out whenever you need. Just once again, send us a message on our socials, and we will do all we can to make sure that you are making the most out of your membership.
Nights out…
On the topic of not surfing, we have surf socials EVERY Wednesday where we meet for chilled nights, game nights, dress-up nights, etc. People tend to have different things they enjoy, and we try and accommodate to all, so please come and see for yourself. I am sure we will be the right fit for you!
Socials
If you want to contact us, the best way is through our Instagram @pompeysurf, where we check Dm’s regularly or privately message any of the committee; our Instagrams are on the main social.
We also have an email account: surfing@upsu.net
Thank you, we cannot wait to meet you!
