Hi, I’m Danni Unway, Surf Confidence Coach and NCIP-registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.

I believe every surfer deserves a journey, and a life, filled with joy, purpose, and confidence. But sometimes surfing (and life!) throws us curveballs that leave us feeling stuck, fearful, or doubting ourselves.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of women move through those fears and frustrations in the water, reconnect with their strength, and rediscover the simple joy of surfing.

I’m so excited to be bringing my workshop to The Wave in Bristol!

Join us for a cosy and uplifting hour designed to help you reconnect with your confidence, calm and joy in the water.

Together, we’ll explore the real human side of surf: the highs, the wipeouts, and all the in‑between moments that shape your relationship with surfing.

Whether you’ve ever felt fear, frustration, or mental blocks, or you’ve had an accident or setback that’s shaken your confidence, this session is for you. It’s a chance to learn practical ways to feel more at ease and present in the water, and to rebuild that sense of flow and trust in yourself.

Throughout the hour, we’ll explore practical tools like present‑moment awareness, positive visualisation, breathing exercises, self‑compassion, and gentle goal setting, all designed to help you feel more at ease and connected in the water.

Why Join

  • Find more calm and presence in the water

  • Rebuild self‑trust after past fear or injury

  • Learn proven mindset tools used by pro surfers and top athletes

  • Meet like‑minded surf lovers in a relaxed, supportive space at The Wave Bristol

You don’t need to prepare or bring anything (except maybe a journal and pen if you like to take notes). Just come as you are, ready to connect, share and reflect.
