Fear Club 01 · What scares you in the surf?

​A surf confidence circle for women and non-binary people who surf.

​Big sets. Sitting at the peak. Getting told off in the lineup. Being in someone’s way. Freezing when it’s your wave.

​Most of us carry a fear like this into the water, and most of us deal with it alone. It’s not just you.

​Fear Club is a small, peer-led circle for surfers of any level who feel held back by fear in the water. This first session is an intro: we’ll name our surf fears, map them together and share what has actually helped. I’ll bring strategies from my own surfing and from research on surf confidence, so you leave with practical ways to work with your fear, and one small step to try next time you paddle out.

​How it runs

• ​Arrive and settle in

• ​Name your fears in the surf

• ​Map them together and swap what works

• ​Pick one small step to try in the water

• ​Optional surf together afterwards, at your own pace and your own risk

​Good to know

• ​Your ticket includes one hot drink of your choice.

• ​Max 10 people, so everyone gets to talk

• ​I’ll take a few photos for Surf Boldly’s socials. Prefer not to be in them? Just tell me and I’ll keep you out.

• ​If the session can’t go ahead for any reason, you’ll get a full refund.

​About me

​I’m Sasha, an intermediate surfer of 7 years, and a product designer and community organiser with a background in social-emotional education. Lately, what’s held my surfing back hasn’t been technique but fear: shame, hesitation, and not feeling confident enough to take my spot in the lineup, even though I know I deserve it. Fear Club is part of my journey to stop being held back. I’d love for you to come along.

Please note
I’m a surfer and facilitator, not a surf coach, lifeguard or therapist, and nothing shared is professional advice. The optional surf afterwards isn’t supervised or part of the ticket: you paddle out independently and at your own risk. Only surf conditions you’re comfortable with, and within your ability and fitness.
