Imagine what could happen if you mixed surf entrepreneurs from different countries and backgrounds – Magic! New collaborations, new projects, new friends and good times.
We organise virtual meetups too - you can join by Zoom even if you live in some remote location. All you need is an internet connection.
You can take a lead and organise a local meetup. Being an organiser helps you connect quickly to the local Surfpreneurs community. We will promote it in our newsletter and social media.
“Having a group of people willing to help and push each other as well as share their experiences is incredibly valuable and the surf summit in Portugal was a super inspiring weekend too. I can't remember how I even found the club, but I'm glad that I did!”

Hey, Surfpreneurs Club was founded by James and Peter in 2016.
We both share a love of surfing and our businesses focus on the surfing lifestyle. Naturally, we always talk with each other about our work to share ideas, even though Surf Office (Peter) and SETT Surf (James) are very different companies. Our conversations are always incredibly interesting and enjoyable.
Then one day we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to get other surf focused brands to join us?‘. We would all learn a lot, meet some cool people and have a great time doing it!
This was the catalyst for the Surfpreneurs Club.
If you too love sharing inspiring stories over delicious food and a cool glass of wine, why not join us? We would love to hear from you.
We're already sharing the stoke, how about you?
