Two Day Surf Camp
We run summer surf camps on the coast. We offer
two full days of surf instruction, including
dry-land education and hands-on instruction in
the waves. We teach technique and the mechanics
of surfing. Our focus on mechanics allows our
clients to improve their surfing far faster than
they ever could via trial and error. We also
teach surf etiquette and safety. We also take time to teach students the basics of reading water.
Our camps are designed for families and small
groups. The entire weekend is designed to be a
community experience. After the surfing day is
done, we gather around a campfire to talk and
laugh, and maybe play games.
Surf Camps are $200 per person. Sign up early,
as spaces are limited.

Surfing is probably the most pure sport because
when you surf, you are actually riding a wave of
energy – you’re not riding the water; you are
riding energy that runs through the water.
All the energies of life travel in waves – light
waves, sound waves, heat waves. The waves that
run through water are generated far out to sea
when contrasting heat and cold generate wind which
is transferred into the water in the form of
kinetic energy. These energy waves travel for
hundreds, even thousands of miles before they
reach the shore and spend themselves. The
fascinating thing about waves is that they carry
energy, and that energy does not die but is rather
transported and translated into new forms. Light
waves are photosynthesized in plants, turning the
sunlight into life; that life grows into leaves
that eventually fall to the earth and restore
nutrients to the soil, leaving the energy for
more life. What then do we take from the wave?
Perhaps the energy is translated into us in some
form that we do not understand but only feel.
And there is no feeling like it in the world.
One incredible thing about surfing is that it
allows – no, requires us to turn off our verbal
minds. In the surf, we cease to think in words
and abstract concepts. The waves turn on a
different part of our brains, and we begin to
think only in terms of time and space. We become
creatures of the planet, united to it in a way
that is intimate beyond words.
