Surf Diva Surfing School050

Looking for a new way to connect with your pre-adolescent? If you can get past the stereotypes, surfing is a great sport that the family can enjoy together. Surf Diva provides an excellent forum for this parent/child learning opportunity in a two-day clinic offered most weekends at La Jolla Shores beach. The all-women instruction team teaches adults and kids ages 7-to-17 the basics (ocean awareness, priority rules, paddling, and wave riding) and provides the wet suits and surfboards, too. Formerly just for women and girls, Surf Diva has expanded its program to include private and small group lessons for men and boys on request. The weekend clinics run two hours in the morning on both Saturday and Sunday. Expect an hour of instruction on the sand, and three hours in the water. Most participants are fresh-on-the-board beginners. The staff is very gracious, and never makes you feel clumsy. The 1:5 teacher-student ratio allows teachers to give each surfer some one-on-one time.
