Tidal Connections Membership 2024

Tidal Connections is a community led surf collaborative with an emphasis on protecting, preserving and enjoying the wild environment of Belhaven Bay. Women of any experience or ability are welcomed including complete beginners who would like to improve their surfing, meet in community, make friends and look after the local environment. You will need to bring your own equipment- wetsuit, boots, gloves, hood and surfboard or bodyboard. There are 30 membership places available in total. This membership will give you access to Tidal Connections community sessions and events at no cost or by donation. These community sessions are a way to meet other likeminded women and connect in the sea - meet at John Muir Country Park at the fire pit for the opening circle. Every month a coached session will be guided by Groundswell Facilitators (qualified in SLSGB surf lifeguards, physical trainers, wellbeing practitioners, yoga teachers and ISA surf coaches) to embark on a journey of healing, empowerment, skill building and uniting through surfing. Please note that this session will be booked via the Groundswell Scotland Website and spaces are limited. Your membership does not guarantee you a space on the monthly coach session.
