A supportive women\u2019s surf &amp; social community in Ventura where you can try surfing, build confidence, and find your people. \u00a0 Join the community Upcoming Events Meet Friends A lot of women want to try surfing but don\u2019t have people to paddle out with or learn alongside so they never get enough reps to actually improve. Built For Beginners This community is designed specifically for beginners to give surfing a shot without feeling like you need to know what you&#8217;re doing. More than surfing It\u2019s also a place to meet friends, build confidence, and find other women who love the ocean. Safe Space to Learn Surfing can feel hard to break into when you don\u2019t know the rules, etiquette, or where to start. Why We Exist Surfing can feel intimidating. It shouldn\u2019t have to. Learning to surf is hard enough on its own, but just paddling out can feel intimidating too. Between localism, unspoken etiquette, not knowing where to go, and not having anyone to paddle out with, getting started can feel overwhelming. Ventura Surf Girlies is a beginner surf community for women of all ages who want to learn, meet new friends, and have people to paddle out with. We host meetups, group surfs, dinners, social events, and other ways for girls to connect both in and out of the water. What We Do Monthly Meet Ups We get together every month for coffee bagels and surf to meet new friends, paddle out together and find people to get our reps in with during the week Surf Lessons Lessons and Programs begin August 17th, 2026! Learn more. Surf Retreats All level friendly surf retreats designed for cean time, adventure, and making lifelong surf friends\u2014coming soon! Join the waitlist to hear when you can book your spot! Frequently Asked Questions FAQs Meet Ups &amp; Community Events When &amp; where is the next meetup? Our monthly beginner meetups are often held at Mondo\u2019s, but locations may change depending on conditions, safety, permitting, or the type of event. Upcoming events are shared through Instagram, our broadcast channel, community chat, email list, and event calendar. This is the best way to make sure you are staying updated. I&#8217;ve never surfed before, can I still come? Absolutely. The monthly meet ups were created specifically for true beginners, including girls who have never surfed, do not own gear, and do not know where to start. Most girls come to their first meetup with little to no surfing experience. Do most girls already know each other? Can I come alone? Our meetups are designed to help you meet women at a similar level so you have people to learn and paddle out with and most girls\u00a0 come alone! It can be difficult to meet friends as an adult, let alone those who want to surf! There are always brand-new girls attending, and the majority of women are meeting everyone for the first time. Can I join if I don&#8217;t live in Ventura? Yes. Girls from surrounding cities and other areas are welcome to join. We have had girls from LA and Santa Barbara counties come frequently! Local members will naturally have more access to in-person events, but non-local girls can still follow updates, use educational resources, attend special events, and connect with the community when visiting Ventura. Do I need to know how to swim? You should have basic swimming ability and feel comfortable in the water before attempting to surf. The ocean includes waves, currents, cold water, and moving equipment. You are responsible for your abilities and safety. Do I need my own surfboard\/wetsuit\/gear? Absolutely not! This is the place to get familiar with the group and get your feet wet, even if you do so without actually getting your feet wet! Many girls come just to meet everyone and check it all out first. Gear is not automatically provided at community meetups, but many girls bring extras. You will need to bring, borrow or rent your own surfboard and wetsuit if you know you want to paddle out for sure. You need access to a board if you plan to surf, but it can be rented or borrowed.\u00a0 Do I need a lesson before attending a meet up? No. You can attend a meetup without taking a lesson, but professional instruction is helpful at the beginning of your journey!\u00a0 You can learn about our surf lessons available and how to book here. What is the difference between the monthly meetup and the Thursday sunset surf? The monthly meetup is more structured and designed as the easiest entry point for brand-new girls. The Thursday sunset surf and dinner is a casual community paddle-out and may take place in more challenging conditions. Beginners are welcome, but it may not be ideal for your very first surf session. No instruction or guidance is typically given. It&#8217;s highly recommended you are comfortable paddling out on your own. You are also more than welcome to hang out on the beach and\/or join dinner without surfing so you are still getting to know the group! Can I come if I don&#8217;t want to surf? Are kids and dogs allowed? Yes! You are welcome to hang out on the beach, meet everyone, watch, and join any post-surf food or social plans. Kids and dogs are generally welcome at casual beach meetups as long as they are supervised and permitted at that location. Ventura Surf Girlies cannot provide childcare or pet supervision while you surf. Is it open to all ages?\u00a0 Women of all ages are welcome, and we have girls in the community ranging from their twenties to their fifties and beyond. Is the monthly meet up a surf lesson? Will someone teach me? No. The meetup is a community event, not a formal surf lesson or clinic, but more to be social and meet other women learning to surf. If you are interested in lessons, they begin August 17th,"}
