The countdown is on! The UK Surf & Skate Expo is making waves in Newquay, Cornwall, this September 12th-14th, bringing the best of surf and skate culture to the South West. And with Bedruthan Hotel just a stone’s throw from all the action, it’s the ultimate spot to stay for a weekend packed with surfing, community, and relaxation.
A Weekend of Surf, Skate & Culture
For the first time in almost two decades, the UK gets its very own celebration of surf and skate, featuring a dynamic lineup of events. Expect major brands, exhibitors, competitions, and workshops- including Surfing England’s Junior Surf Series at Fistral Beach, an 80s-inspired Ride or Die skateboard bowl contest, and a Vintage Surf & Skate Meet & Swap for collectors and enthusiasts.
For those looking to go beyond the action, Saltrock will host free breathwork workshops led by big wave surfer Andrew Cotton, while Ticket To Ride will share insights on careers in surfing. Plus, Brandwave’s BrandLAB sessions will connect attendees with VIP mentors from some of the world’s biggest sports brands.
