INTRODUCING

LONDON GIRLS

SURF CLUB

After many successful years of hosting transformative surf trips, London Girls Surf Club is entering an exciting new chapter with Ellen stepping in as the New Director. Building on the strong foundations and inspiring legacy created by founder Kylie Griffiths, Ellen brings a wealth of experience and fresh perspective to LGSC. With extensive expertise in the surf manufacturing industry, brand licensing, and surf travel, Ellen has honed her skills through years of hosting for brands and surfers of all levels. Her vision blends progressive growth with the grounding, community-focused ethos at the heart of LGSC. This marks an exhilarating time for the club as it continues to offer empowering, unforgettable surf experiences for women from all walks of life.

London Girls Surf Club is a dynamic networking and empowerment space designed to inspire and encourage women from landlocked cities to embrace the magic of the oceans and their sporting goals.

London Girls Surf Club was founded in 2017 by Kylie Griffiths with one clear mission: to get landlocked ladies into the ocean and onto the waves. After discovering her passion for surfing in her late twenties, Kylie wanted to create a supportive, inclusive space where women could experience the magic of the sea together. From beginners testing the waters to experienced surfers seeking a community to grow with, LGSC offers a place for women to connect, learn, and form lifelong friendships through a shared love of surfing.

We understand that stepping into the ocean for the first time can feel intimidating, which is why we’ve created a relaxed, welcoming environment for women to try surfing at their own pace. Whether it’s your first time catching waves or your hundredth, we’re here to provide encouragement, camaraderie, and plenty of fun along the way.

Our mission is to get city girls away from the concrete jungle, into the waves, and closer to the boundless possibilities that the sea represents—whether it's through water sports, physical connection, or simply the joy of ocean exploration.

City life is fast-paced and often overwhelming, leaving little room to pause and recharge. Our surf trips and community events offer a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle, giving women the opportunity to unwind and reconnect with nature. The ocean has a unique power to ground us—whether it’s the tranquility of the water or the thrill of riding a wave, surfing allows you to live fully in the moment.

At London Girls Surf Club, we’re more than a surf group—we’re a community of adventurous, like-minded women who find freedom, fun, and friendship in the sea. Join us and discover how the ocean can transform your life, one wave at a time.
