Surf Sisters
July 27, 2019
This all-women course will focus on introducing people to the skills they need to play safely in the surf zone and to catch and ride waves. The course will include understanding the surf zone, identifying safe areas, the take-off, timing, power strokes, holding position on the wave, and launching and landing, among others. There will be lots of drills to increase your confidence in a dynamic environment.
You’ll note that there is a major emphasis on safety and building confidence. It’s tough to learn when you’re afraid. Having an all-women’s group will help to create a supportive, non-competitive environment where everyone will free to try new things.
To take this course, you must have a good grasp on basic skills including forward and sweep strokes, bracing, and T rescues. Although this is an “intro” course, it is not for beginners. You need a helmet. If you don’t have one, we can probably borrow one for you.
The women will be staying together in a group house, in semi-private rooms. The cost of the housing is not included in the course fee. Expect to pay about $50 – $55 per night. In the evenings, we can either cook group meals or go out to one of the great nearby restaurants.
