Students will also have numerous opportunities to relax and enjoy other outdoor activities such as body surfing, daily yoga/stretching sessions, tidepooling, and other organized beach games. Students are also provided with daily advanced surfing instruction, ocean conservation tips and their choice of themes and excursions in the afternoon. Excursions can include lagoon hikes, natural and cultural history of the California coast, marine exploration, and evolution of surfing culture.
