ABOUT OUR SURF TEAM:
OUR SURF TEAM IS SMALL, INVITE-ONLY, AND BUILT FOR YOUNG SURFERS WHO LIVE FOR THE OCEAN AND ARE READY TO GROW. IF YOU’VE BEEN INVITED, IT’S BECAUSE WE SEE YOUR POTENTIAL — NOT JUST IN YOUR SURFING, BUT IN YOUR ATTITUDE, YOUR HEART, AND HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF WITH ALOHA.
WE TRAIN WITH PURPOSE — FOCUSING ON TECHNIQUE, OCEAN KNOWLEDGE, CONFIDENCE, AND CONTEST STRATEGY. EACH SURFER COMPETES IN DIVISIONS THAT MATCH THEIR AGE, SKILL LEVEL, BOARD TYPE, AND GENDER. FROM SMALL LOCAL CONTESTS TO BIGGER EVENTS AND TRAVEL TRIPS, WE HELP OUR SURFERS STEP INTO THE COMPETITIVE SIDE OF SURFING AT A PACE THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THEM.
WE SURF ALMOST EVERY DAY, WITH TEAM SESSIONS, ONE-ON-ONE COACHING, VIDEO REVIEW, AND TEAM EVENTS. IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST RESULTS — IT’S ABOUT BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION, HEALTHY HABITS, AND A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE OCEAN AND EACH OTHER.
THIS TEAM IS OHANA — ROOTED IN RESPECT, LOYALTY, AND LOVE FOR THE OCEAN. WE LIFT EACH OTHER UP, PUSH EACH OTHER TO GROW, AND CELEBRATE EVERY WIN TOGETHER — BIG OR SMALL. IF YOU’RE HERE, YOU’RE MEANT TO BE. WE’RE HONORED TO SURF THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU.
