WHAT TO BRING
We recommend using a sharpie to write name on all materials. It's also ideal to come with a bag that can easily fit all belongings.
* We provide a variety of soft-top surfboards and some body boards. Surfers are also welcome to bring their own soft-top equipment.
Wetsuit + Bag to Store Used Wetsuit and Bathing Suit
If your child does not have a wetsuit, we recommend renting or buying one from Ventura Surf Shop. Eric can offer assistance regarding what type of suit would be ideal.
Sunscreen and Hat
While we make sure surfers regularly apply sunscreen, we ask that parents send children with sunscreen that is easy to apply, like a sunscreen stick for the face. We'll have hand mirrors to support children with applying sunscreen, and instructors will supervise.
We also ask that surfers bring a hat for added sun coverage when playing on the beach.
In addition, we provide shade canopies and umbrellas.
Towel
We recommend sending your surfer with two towels - one for drying off, and another to sit on.
Water Bottle
We will have filtered water to refill water bottles.
Bathing Suit and Rash Guard
On warmer days, it's nice for surfers to have the option to swap their wetsuit for a bathing suit and rash guard.
Change of Clothes
No one wants to drive home in a wet wetsuit!
Sandals
Sweatshirt
It can get chilly on the beach!
Face Mask
We would like each child to have a face mask for bathroom trips. We will also have a box of disposable gloves, and hand santitizer, we'll have them use.
Backpack
We recommend surfers throw in a book, or other simple "down time" activity to enjoy in the shade.
Lunch and Snacks
Send your child with a healthy lunch and snacks that can sustain them through a full day of ocean and beach fun.

Covid-19 Safety Measures
To help ensure safety we will...
- Take each surfer and instructor's temperature upon arrival each morning with an infrared (touch-free) thermometer
- Provide reminders to apply sunscreen but will have surfers apply their own
- Have an instructor on "water duty" so surfers don't have to touch the same dispenser
- Ensure surfers don't share food or towels.
- While we don't have enough body boards and surfboards for each surfer to be assigned their own, surfers are welcome to bring their own boards, which we'll ensure are not used by other surfers.
We'll inform you of additional safety measures as they're added.
