Women's Surf Club - Heritage Surf and Sport

WELCOME!

In 2019 we launched the first Women’s Surf Club in our area, focused not only on women instructors teaching women, but creating a space where those with the same mindset of being active and trying something new, would come together to meet, play, and share. We created a summer long series (8 sessions) that would get you to commit to the craft and build towards connecting with the women in the group, and of course, the ocean.

We started with one Wednesday night session of 17 women, and now serve approximately 60 women each year in multiple sessions/subgroups. For the 2024 season, we will be shaking things up a bit and will offer 3 sections (Beginner, Advanced beginner, Intermediate) which will enable us to focus more closely on each skill level, and on slightly different time tables than the past.

While we will continue to serve the same amount of women in our sections, we will start to formally build out the club to connect with both current students and alums for other activities (coffee, snowboarding, and other suggested “adventures”) throughout the year, developing a true community of women who love to surf!

Beginner Group

This group is for those who have taken at least one lesson and know how to catch their own whitewater waves and get to their feet. You can be inconsistent with this, but you at least know the basics of “how-to.” Our goal is to get you catching more waves and building consistency with your surfing. We will focus on perfecting the pop-up, and getting you to the point of catching “green” or “unbroken” waves and to understand how to start turning the board to go “down the line.”

Please note that we will not be offering surfboard or wetsuit rentals, so it’s for those who are ready to commit to themselves and the sport!

Advanced Beginner

As you progress from beginner, you will start to catch only unbroken waves and will be ready to move to the “advanced beginner” group. You may be wondering – what classifies an advanced beginner surfer? It is for those who can answer yes to all of the following:

Can you catch unbroken waves (not whitewater) consistently without any assistance?
Can you go down the line on almost every wave you take?
Do you understand priority and can quickly pull out of a wave to not drop in unintentionally?
Are you comfortable paddling out in chest high surf without ditching your board?

In this group, you’ll work on skills like exiting a wave properly, gaining more speed, do the beginnings of a proper bottom and top turn, and become consistent in going down the line.

Intermediate

Once you are going down the line, gaining speed, appropriately exiting a wave onto your board and back to the line-up, you’ll be ready for the intermediate group. This is where we start to perfect the details in choosing waves, getting more dialed in on wave position, and get you moving your feet to relegate speed and turns. This level is for people who can answer yes to the following:

Do you know where to paddle out and sit for the best waves when you get to a break?
Do you go down the line on every wave you take and won’t take a wave that will close out?
Do you keep up with the wave and get long rides, and rarely get caught at the bottom?
Can can point out which way a wave is breaking and never have to question who has priority?
Can you do small bottom and top turns?

In this group, you’ll work on skills like choosing better waves, how your stance and footing can help you generate speed, where your board should be in reference to the wave to relegate speed, and how to excel in turning.
