Whether you've never touched a surfboard before or you've been chasing waves for years, QUB Surf Club is one of the most welcoming and active sports clubs at Queen's University Belfast.

Throughout the year we run regular day trips and overnight weekends to the North Coast, giving members plenty of opportunities to get in the water, improve their surfing and enjoy everything the coast has to offer. Complete beginners are encouraged to join, with qualified instructors providing lessons and all equipment available to help you get started safely and confidently.

Surfing is only part of what makes our club special. We pride ourselves on creating a friendly, inclusive community with a packed social calendar designed to help members make friends both on and off the beach. From quiz nights, karaoke, gigs and themed socials to yoga classes, movie nights and our annual Christmas and Summer Formals, there's always something happening, whether you're a surfer or simply looking to meet new people.

Our biggest event each year is our unforgettable week-long surf trip to Portugal, where members enjoy world-class waves, incredible scenery and an amazing social atmosphere. We also proudly represent Queen's at the Irish Student Surf Intervarsities, where we've recently celebrated our first ever medal in the competition's history.

The 2025/26 academic year was our most successful yet. We introduced over 220 students to surfing, expanded our programme of social events, strengthened our club community and were honoured to be named Queen's Students' Union Large Club of the Year 2026.

If you're looking for adventure, lifelong friendships and one of the best student experiences at Queen's, we'd love to welcome you to QUB Surf Club. Join us and see what all the hype is about!

Catch you on the waves,
