comfortable jumping in on your own/with friends knowing the important aspects of ocean safety and surf etiquette.

This clinic is ideal for those who have started to surf down the line or have been surfing down the line for a while, but perhaps feeling slow or unable to control their speed on the wave.

Angled take offs, faded take offs, stalled take offs, late take offs, and maybe no paddle take offs! There is a start, middle, and end to each wave you catch. This
clinic is all about putting some flare and variety into the way you start your wave. Why? Because it’s fun and groovy!

This clinic is for women who want to surf the entirety of the wave, top to bottom. By utilizing top turns and bottom turns, surfers can carve along the face in a more radical way and build speed along the way. Carving is performed near the pocket of the wave, so this clinic is best for surfers who feel comfortable riding in the pocket, have begun to trim and are looking to get more vertical on their maneuvers.

Stay in the sweet spot of the wave by learning to cutback, and maybe even create some spray along the way! Learning how to cutback at the right time and with good technique is critical for extending your rides, and maintaining optimal positioning for doing other maneuvers on the wave. Whether you are beginning to do maneuvers or simply riding down the line, this clinic is great for a variety of surfers who are learning to maximize their time in the pocket.

It’s time ladies…to transition away from the shuffle. Learning how to cross-step is a true game changer, as it is a much smoother way to transfer our weight as we move up and down the board. It can feel daunting at first, but with the support of fellow chicas to cheer and laugh us on there is no better way time 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.

Improve your stance so that you are able to blend stability with flow, and find the stance that suits your style of surfing. We will go over the benefits of different surf stances, the importance of not only our foot placement, but also how our head, hands, arms and hips play a huge role in our surfing. And we will also review the importance of footwork on the board, as we are always making micro (sometimes macro!) adjustments on the board throughout the wave. 

*The clinic is best for surfers who are able to pop up consistently, and are looking to feel less rigid on the wave/surfboard and start to find one’s unique style.

Many people think of standing on a surfboard when they think of surfing, however surfing is much more than that. It is about the experience of being in the ocean, being exposed to elements that are always more powerful than us, and succumbing to having any control over that. While we can’t control Neptune, we can learn how to respect the ocean, understand its patterns, and make wise decisions when entering the water. This clinic is focused on ocean safety–learn how to be safe in the water by understanding how the ocean works. From learning about tides and channels to defensive maneuvers we can do on our surfboard, this clinic will help build confidence when hitting the water, and allow you to make smart decisions about where and when you decide to surf. 

*This clinic is crucial for anyone looking to get into surfing, or anyone who wants to expand their knowledge about the ocean.

Do you wipeout or jump off your board at the end of each wave? If so it’s time to master board control and learn how to elegantly finish your waves!
