One of the favourites for any Woolacombe stag do is surfing and surfers world wide glide to its shores to ride the waves. Although stereotypically a summer sport, surfing can be just as enjoyable in the winter months, although the water may be slightly chillier.

We'll have you looking like a Californian surfing god in no time, you just might have to buy the golden hair and tan in a bottle first… 

Here's some surfing slang to get you started:

• Chubby Checker - Usually a particular breed of male that spends all day discussing the conditions and checking out the best waves but never actually gives it a go. You can usually spot which one it is by the six pack he's carrying and we don't mean the one on his waist!
• Amped - Excited or enthusiastic. As in, "Dude I'm like, totally amped for Matt's stag do"
• Boner style - It's not actually what you might imagine! It's a surfer who has a very stiff style and doesn't move around a lot.
• Frube - Someone who doesn't catch a wave all day. Poor Frube.
• Big Kahuna - The best surfer on the beach. Comes from the Hawaiian term for a man with excellent surf skill!

So book our Surfs Up package and get amped up! Don't be a chubby checker, ride those waves, even if you do have boner style and don't worry if you become a frube, we'll still think you're a Big Kahuna!
