Eco-Surfgirls

Eco-Surfgirls is a mission-led social enterprise based in Bournemouth, UK, that organises and hosts surf trips, SUP and yoga retreats exclusively for women. Founded in 2017, the company combines professional surf coaching with environmental activism, offering fully organised surf adventures led by qualified instructors and lifeguards at various UK and international locations. Eco-Surfgirls creates immersive experiences that connect participants with nature while raising awareness of ocean conservation and the impacts of plastic waste on marine ecosystems.

The company delivers small-group surf coaching for all ability levels, yoga sessions, and wellness-focused activities, attracting women from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for active lifestyles and environmental protection. Beyond retreat experiences, Eco-Surfgirls engages in beach cleanup initiatives and ocean advocacy projects. The organisation produces sustainable, organic clothing and eco-friendly merchandise as part of its commitment to reducing waste and promoting conscious consumption.

With a focus on preventing ocean pollution—addressing the estimated annual consumption of half a trillion plastic bottles and unrecyclable waste—Eco-Surfgirls positions itself as both a travel and wellness provider and an environmental steward, offering women an opportunity to build community while contributing to marine conservation efforts.
