About Us

At Surf to Summit UK, we believe adventure should be for everyone. Born from a passion for the sea and the mountains, we deliver unforgettable experiences on water and land and now, we’re making the equipment just as accessible.

Our goal is simple: to help more people discover the magic of foiling and the freedom of the mountains. With carefully designed, high-quality gear and expert coaching, we remove the barriers so you can step straight into the adventure.

SURF From your first taste of the water to mastering wing foiling, kite foiling, kitesurfing or tow foiling, our coaches and community will help you find your flow.

TO SUMMIT From mountain scrambles and climbing routes to coasteering adventures and camping nights under the stars, we guide you safely into wild spaces where confidence and connection grow.

We believe in the power of being completely in the moment, when you’re so immersed in riding the wind, carving the wave, or reaching the summit that nothing else matters. In that freedom, mind, body, and soul align. That’s the experience we live for, and it’s what we share with everyone who joins us.

With fully qualified instructors and years of experience, Surf to Summit UK is here to support your progress, confidence, and wellbeing in the outdoors from sea to summit.
