Simple…immersion! Immersing yourself into a one or two day surf camp provides students so much more than a group surf lesson can. Spending an eight hour day in our Day Surf Camps, or two 8-hour days in our Surf Weekenders, allows women to connect and create new “surf sisterships”, become empowered with shared surf wisdom, […]

My husband calls what I do (as the Director of NW Women’s Surf Camps) in creating the space and opportunity for women to learn, connect and excel in surfing my “big medicine”. He sees in me after every event the deep satisfaction, joy and passion I have for what I create and do. I feel […]

When I started to surf on the North Coast of Oregon in the mid 80’s, it was late fall and my husband had just bought me a new wetsuit, parts, Mike Steward bodyboard and Churchill swim fins. Having only been back to Oregon for our second winter, from having lived seven years along the North […]

So much of what I do when I coach and teach surfing, stand up paddling and mindfulness yoga is about being in the moment with my students; to hear, see and witness them, to carefully observe so I can see where to suggest, cue, or support them in realizing a wave caught, the balance of […]

The winter season offers us such a different life and surfing experience than what we know in the summer months, especially along the North Oregon coast. Summer is the high energy season filled with sunshine, warm days and nights, small and fun surfing conditions, and offshore NW flow that make our favorite sandbars south of […]
