The annual Girls Go Surfing Day – the world’s longest running female learn-to-surf program – returns to Australian beaches in January.
In its 22nd year, the Girls Go Surfing Day encourages female non-surfers and beginners of all ages to experience the thrill of surfing with their friends and family.
The day will promote the benefits surfing provides for the fitness and well-being to females of all ages.
To be run on January 21-22, the program is held nationally at more than 40 schools through the Surfing Australia Surf Schools Network ensuring the lessons are conducted professionally in a safe and enjoyable environment. The event will take place across a vast selection of Australia’s beautiful beaches at the perfect time of year to introduce new participants to the iconic Australian pastime of surfing.
Seven-time ASP Women’s World Champion Layne Beachley encouraged all females who are thinking about giving surfing a go to participate in the Girls Go Surfing Day.
“It’s beneficial for girls to learn to surf in a safe, fun and inclusive environment,” Layne said.
“This is a fabulous initiative and I’m proud to see Surfing Australia support the growth and development of women’s surfing.”
ASP World Tour Rookie of the Year Tyler Wright said the Girls Go Surfing Day was a great introduction to surfing.
“Surfing is such a fantastic sport to get involved in and a program like the Girls Go Surfing Day is a great way to meet new people,” Tyler said.
“All you have to do is turn up with a bunch of friends and you’re guaranteed a good time.”
Australian female teenage sensation Nikki van Dijk said the Girls Go Surfing Day was the perfect environment for girls to experience surfing for the first time.
“It’s such a fun program for girls to get into, especially young ones,” Nikki said. “It’s the right program to allow the girls to get together with their friends, have fun and learn in a safe environment and also not worry about what the boys have to say.”
In addition to their learn to surf experience, all the girls will walk away with a great participant pack which includes a Rip Curl beach bag, $20 Rip Curl voucher, GGSD t-shirt, sunscreen and a Dolly Magazine.
