Why Join Us?
By choosing Bournemouth University you've moved to the sunny south coast, where the sea is at your doorstep... Our club is a community of sea enthusiasts that surf at the break of dawn, into the late afternoon and throughout the year! We travel, we seek adventure, we get stoked and we do that with amazing friends.
AND NO SURF EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED, WE WILL TEACH YOU!!
BU Surf Club has a home at Bournemouth & Boscombe pier. We surf the breaks, we party on the shore and we get the best of coastal living. We offer beginner surf lessons with our team of BU surf instructors and whenever there is swell we are there! We also host mega events, socials and those much-needed wind down sessions, so there’s the right vibe for all of our members.

BUCS SURF COMPETITION:
Every October, we travel to Newquay in Cornwall to attend the BUCS Surf Competition. Uni surf clubs from all around England gather for the weekend, and we spend 3 days surfing and socialising while cheering for our competing members.
WEEKLY SOCIALS:
From parties to movie nights. We have done Laser Quest, The Wave, sunset swims, beach clean-ups, skate sessions... something different every week!! Note that some socials may require an extra fee to rent the spaces out
NATIONAL TRIPS:
Cornwall and Devon are our go-to spots as they always provide good waves and vibes. We normally go on weekends and provide accommodation in the sickest houses in the area and transport, as well as the option of using the club's equipment or taking lessons with our instructors.
Note that these trips may require an extra fee to cover the expenses SUBU can't cover. The surf club will subsidise as much as possible to make it affordable for all.
