Welcome to the Student Surf Tour. Fresh out the box for 2011/12
academic year, the SST offers a full league for competitive surfing between
universities!
The tour is structured so that you need to get the whole university surf club
involved to win the league, with points allocated not just for surfing, but
for performances in five aside football, fancy dress, team spirit, furthest
travelled and more! At the end of the academic calendar, we'll tally all the
points and announce the winners of each division, and most importantly, the
overall champion!
Quality surfing competitions, with a cracking night out or two bolted on, our
tour is the first ever full competition league for university level surfing.
Whether you just started surfing, or have surfed for years, there's something
for you on the tour. The locations roam around the country, featuring
universities from all sides of the UK. If your university isn't surfing on the
SST, then they should be! Get in touch with us direct, or ask your Student
Union to get the surf team involved Our mission is to provide some of the best
student events in the academic calendar, for surfers, none surfers, everyone
who wants to have fun All of our events feature men's/women's short board
divisions, as well as fun events such as the Inflatable Animal No Pro Surf
Show, the Long/Retroboard classic, the Hangover Softboard Special, the Fancy
Dress Surfing Cup and many more... To compete, or to find out more, contact
