Surf, Art & Flow
- Gather Week -
Is Surfing a sport or an Art?
Surfing history shows us that Creativity, Surfing and Art have forever had a connection, through creating images, photography, music and movement.
​
Some say that's its because creativity can be found in the stillness, flow and inspiration that we find in surfing.
​
Lets take these five days to explore this connection of surfing, art and flow states together.

Longboard Coaches
Sam Sunshine - Course Leader
Sam has been introducing women to Longboarding for the last 5 years, always a friendly face in the community and a firm belief in community over competition (but is also currently competitively second in the Uk and has been sponsored over the years).
Great at putting you at ease when making your first steps and encouraging you to push your surfing. Reminding you never to take yourself or surfing too seriously, while secretly knowing that when you have fun and relax you improve the most.
We value community and know that you grow good surfers within a positive ocean family. Come join ours.
2 Day Course
Short, Intense, and Fun. Using Images, video and demos on land. Then taking that into the water following drills to improve while having fun. All that while receiving one on one tips from our experienced coaches.
4 Group Surf Sessions
Mad for it we will surf until we have spaghetti arms! (We wont enforce this don’t worry!) We surf for as long as the group and waves work well, as we aren’t limited to any time restraints.
Our courses have all been scheduled around small (neap) tides so we can surf without the pressure of the tide getting too low or too high.
We Are Mobile
We pick the best surf spots for the day within our permissions. So we will never be bound to surf unfriendly conditions (Unless the conditions are terrible everywhere we will then switch the surf for something more beneficial).
Surf Progression
Guaranteed to improve with our longboard programme that has been developed slowly through experience and testing. Your learn more than you can achieve in 2 days and will be taking away goals and knowledge for the future.
Video and Photo Analysis
When you get to this level in your surfing this is absolute KEY in improvement. We will do an Individual analysis session for you within the 2 days. We also have a local professional In water photographer join us for the best session.
All footage you get to keep, It will also go into our private student database so we know what you are working on next time you join us.
Meal Together/Party
​
Lets celebrate our good surfs together! We will either organise a Bbq on the beach or book a table at our favourite restaurant depending on the weather. Who knows where the night could
take us..
'Fantastic and knowledgeable surfers, they're also approachable, encouraging and understand the challenges that less experienced female surfers face'
