Do you find yourself paddling for way more waves than you catch? Well here’s a secret, you’re not alone…read on!
In relation to reading a book many people who learn to surf are essentially only taught how to open the cover. That’s a helpful start…but the words, characters, storyline inside are left a total mystery to its reader. This clinic teaches you how to read what is inside Neptune’s book.
From understanding how to read the ocean, what to look for in waves, and how waves progress, this clinic will progress your surfing so you start to match that ratio of waves paddled for to waves caught. You will become more energy efficient, develop better wave selection and learn where to properly position. Overall this is one of the most valuable and popular clinics we offer.

It can feel daunting at first, but with the support of fellow chicas to cheer and laugh us on, there is no better time to give it a try! This clinic is ideal for gals who are comfortable shifting their weight on the board, shuffling their feet, or starting to cross-step.
