OPTIONAL EXTRAS:

Surf-skate Training

Surf-skating for women has taken off around the world and is a great way to train for surfing when there are no waves. Our Slide Surf-skates have a special designed front truck that rotates, which allows the skateboard to move and respond just like a surfboard.

Surf skate training is a great way to improve your surfing techniques. You can practise manoeuvres over and over again and build up muscle memory during this process. Back in the water everything will click and slide in position. 

Surf Theory Classes

If you're keen to take your surfing to the next level, these classes will give you invaluable information on how to practise at home effectively, find your best pop up, increase wave knowledge, read weather charts and much more! You will then be able to apply these new skills and information immediately to your next surf session.

Overview Of Classes:

  • Warm Ups & Mastering The Pop Up
  • Unbroken Wave Surfing Theory
  • How To Read The Surf Forecasts
  • Surf Etiquette Rules & Surf Safety
