Why Groups Rate This

This crazy looking, extreme sport is a mash-up of two the best water activities ever, surfing and white water rafting. It's exactly the kind of stag challenge every good weekend needs, and in our opinion, it should be made illegal to head to Newquay for a stag weekend and not set up a challenge on the beach.

You'll arrive looking cool and feeling like the beach boys (but with less harmonies and better hair). You'll meet the friendly instructor and then get kitted up with helmets, life vests and wet suits. Then you'll learn the basics while still on dry land. Then it's time to get wet!

You'll hit the waves in 4.6 metre long rafts to take on the foaming surf, you'll need to work as a stag team to battle the waves and ensure you don't take an early bath. Fitter stags will be able to build up quite a speed as you hit the waves head-on. And just for ships and giggles, you'll also practise a capsize drill. All this while surrounded by some of the most striking coastal scenery in Britain. This is a once in a lifetime, fantastic surf experience with a difference - set yourselves up for stag success and have a phenomenal time in the process!

Head out, wield your paddles and enjoy the ride of your life with white water and rip curling action to keep every stags heart pounding and adrenaline pumping.

Please note: This is a real test and requires a good level of fitness. A genuinely tough stag challenge this might not suit all stag groups. Are you tough enough?
