Bolinas Surfing and Beach Day, Followed by Beach BBQ

OAC Surfers, Moon Doggies, Kooks and Dukes! You're in California so you have to at least try surfing! Spend the day in Bolinas enjoying the beach and surfing. Or just hang out with us on the beach and enjoy the barbeque. After surfing, we'll all hang on the beach together or in town into the evening. It should be a great day to surf, hang out and meet other club members.

 

We offer several options for the day.

 

Beginner Surf School Option:

If you want to learn to surf this is the day! Total beginners are welcome and will start their day with a 2-hour lesson. After the lesson, you'll be able to hang on to your board for the afternoon and practice your newfound skills. Our beginner lesson includes all the gear you'll need- board, wetsuit and booties.

 

The lesson starts on the beach as you learn how to paddle, where to stand on the board, surfing etiquette, and more. We'll practice a few pop-ups on the beach, and then it's out into the surf! We'll have instructors in the water with you to help you find your position on the board and help you select and paddle for your first waves. Whether you stand up, ride in on your knees, or lying down, once you feel the push of a wave you'll be hooked! Class is limited to 10 students.

 

As an Outdoor Adventure Club bonus, after the lesson, you'll be able to use your board for the rest of the afternoon and practice your newly learned skills.

 

Beyond the Basics Surf School Option:

This class will be held at the same time as our beginner lessons, but will be a separate group, with a separate instructor giving you "the next step" in the learning process.

 

Our lesson package includes all the equipment you'll need for the day. We provide board, wetsuit and booties for you. Because this is more of an intermediate class, we provide epoxy/fiberglass boards rather than the soft top boards you probably used when you started. If you'd prefer a soft top, let us know.

 

Once suited up and given your board you'll have a brief beach talk, and then you hit the water! In the water you and the instructor will be able to work on developing your skills. Wherever you are in the learning progression, you'll be able to get instruction and feedback on your performance. Bottom turns? Heading down the line? Just getting comfortable while surfing? Wherever you are, we can help you improve. Class is limited to 8 students.

 

After the lessons, we'll have a picnic on the beach. Those who wish can then go back into the water and surf as long as they like on their own. You will have the gear available to you for as long as you like without extra cost.

 

Surf Day Rentals, No Lessons Option:

If you want to come surf with us, but don't want a lesson this time, you can still join in the fun! We'll get you set up with a board and wetsuit rental for a half day, and you can surf then join us for our BBQ on the beach. We'll bring out the volleyball net, frisbees, and turn it into a super fun day for all skill levels.

 

Surf Beach Day, No Rentals or Lessons Option:

Come on out! You can either bring your own gear if you have it, or just come out and hang with the Outdoor Adventure Club on the beach. What's in it for you? OAC will introduce you to other surfers and wanna-be-surfers in the club, provide a beach BBQ lunch, and a great reason for you to get out for the day.

 

No need to stay away from the OAC surf scene just because you aren't going to surf or you already know how to surf.
