1 SURF SPOT ON THE DANA POINT SURF TEAM:  6TH-8TH GRADE ONLY

THE TEAM COMPETES IN 5 CONTESTS IN THE SCHOLASTIC SURF SERIES.  THE 2016-2017 WILL BE THE 3RD YEAR COMPETING IN SSS.  PRACTICES ARE TYPICALLY FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL (FROM 3PM-5PM).  PRACTICE LOCATION IS THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SAN CLEMENTE PIER.

THIS IS FOR SURFERS WHO HAVE AN ACTIVE INTEREST IN PUSHING THEIR SURFING TO THE NEXT LEVEL WHILE STILL REMEMBERING WHY THE SURF IN THE FIRST PLACE (TO HAVE FUN!).  WE DO TAKE PRACTICE SERIOUSLY AS COACHES, WE WORK WITH EACH SURFER TO IMPROVE, WE USE PHOTOS AND VIDEO AS WELL TO SHOW WHERE THEY NEED SOME HELP AND WHERE THEY ARE DOING THINGS RIGHT TOO!   

A TYPICAL PRACTICE IS WARM UP, STRETCH, QUICK JOG, WARM UP FREE SURF WITH COACHES HELP... THEN WE BREAK TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE ALL NEED TO WORK ON.  THEN WE SPLIT UP ACCORDING TO SKILL, AGES, ETC.   

WE RUN 15-MINUTE MOCK HEATS, WHICH WOULD SIMULATE A SURF COMPETITION.  THIS GETS THEM ACQUAINTED WITH THE FORMAT SO THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WHEN THEY COMPETE.
