This is the perfect opportunity for girls of all ages who want to surf on a regular basis and enjoy the opportunity to get to know other girls and to feel a part of a surf team. As each surfer is able to improve individually, they benefit from the group atmosphere. The group creates the element of fun, team, connectivity and confidence, while the coaches are there to instill the fundamentals. The coach will oversee the group collectively; but focus on the skills and improvement of each individual surfer.

Bring: Board, wetsuit, leash, water, towel, basically your own beach gear

Type of Board: All types of boards are welcome in the beginner club and may be suggested at the assessment. Each participant is responsible for their own board/equipment

Wetsuit: during the winter we suggest a 4’3 so your kids will stay comfortable in the water and not get out early during their 1.5 hr practice time. During spring and summer many kids will continue to wear a 3’2 so they can stay in during the entire 1.5 hr session.

BEGINNER SKILL SETS AND FOCUS DURING THE LESSON

Surfers will stretch and warm up before practice
Surfers will be introduced to a variety of tides, conditions and other conditions of surfing.
