About Boardmasters
Boardmasters was born in 1981 inspired by the freedom, adventure, and creativity of surfing and music. Combining late-night parties with the opportunity to relax on a beautiful beach during the day, this five-day event offers a unique experience to its 290,000 Gen Z visitors every year.
The festival spans two stunning locations in Cornwall. First, Fistral Beach, renowned as the surfing mecca of the UK and hosting world-class international surf competitions. The second location is Watergate Bay, arguably one of the most breathtaking spots in the country to enjoy live music.
