Two dedicated Rip Curl Girls Tour weekends have been scheduled at Fistral Beach, Newquay and Croyde Bay, North Devon on the 28-29 June.

The tour then continues nationally in Bournemouth, Dorset and Llangennith on the 5-6 July.

It is back at Fistral Beach, Newquay during the Rip Curl Boardmasters from the 4-10 August where lessons will be running with the English Surfing federation throughout the duration of the event.

Throughout the tour, girls will see and meet some of the best surfers on the Rip Curl Girls Team. Catch up with Elise Garrigue - international Rip Curl team rider, current English champion and team rider Kathleen Spears and the French longboard champion Justine Dupont will be on-hand in Newquay to offer her top tips to girls.

As well as surfing there is an opportunity to learn the Brazilian Martial art form - Capoeira. Then to finish off a day on the waves Rip Curl will be hosting Brazilian themed parties with live music and DJ�s.

There will also be a special live Music night during the Rip Curl Boardmasters with performances from Ex Longboard world champion Beau Young, with support from Seth Lakeman and Ruarri Joseph and Nick Harper.

The tour caters for any age and ability, but its just for girls.
