Do you find surfing during winter daunting? Here's how to stay warm for your winter surfs...

🏄‍♂️ Right Equipment: a thick enough wetsuit booties, hood and gloves. Which items you wear will depend on how much you feel the cold and how long you plan on staying in the water for. For some of you a 4/3 with 3mm booties will keep you warm enough, where some people need a fleece lined warm 4/3, 5mm booties, a hood and gloves. As it starts getting colder and colder, you can start to add additional items when you feel you need to.
🏄‍♂️ Warm clothes for after your surf. Make sure you have a towel poncho to throw over and a warm jumper, jacket, socks and shoes. Ugg boots are a game changer for post surf footwear!
🏄‍♂️ Change Mat. Standing on and getting changed on an open weave mat or surf specific mat can do wonders for keeping you warmer. Keeping your feet off the cold ground will help you feel less of the cold.
🏄‍♂️ Warm water to shower under or pour down your wetsuit. This will help take the chill off and keep you warm enough to get changed. You can buy portable surf showers or fill up a drink bottle with warm water before you leave for your surf. Make sure the water isn't too hot and test it on the back of your hand/wrist before pouring down your wetsuit to ensure you don't burn yourself.
🏄‍♂️ A hot drink for after your surf. This one is a must have for warming your internal body temperature! You can prepare this in a hot flask before you head out for your surf and enjoy afterwards.
🏄‍♂️ Hot water bottle to pop on your lap when driving home. Again, this will help bring your body temperature back up quicker than without it. Simply pop it into your jumper or jacket and watch how quickly you feel warm.
🏄‍♂️ Changing into your wetsuit before you leave the house in the morning. A lot of body heat can be lost when getting changed in the car park pre-surf. This will also help keep you accountable and to ensure you actually get out there!
🏄‍♂️ If you're really struggling to warm up, a bath or submerging your hands/feet in warm water will go a long way and take away that bone chill.

Do you have any Winter surf tips that help keep you warm?

With a small group size of six participants, our sessions include 30 minutes of video analysis with experienced surf coaches, followed by 90 minutes of in-water coaching.

Did you miss out on our Duck Diving Clinic last weekend? We've opened up another class this weekend!

Join us this Sunday August 3rd, for a special 2-hour Duck Diving Clinic dedicated to giving you all the technique tips and drills so you can nail this manoeuvre in the water, saving you energy and time as you move out into bigger waves.

This clinic will include both a beach theory session explaining the drills, and in-water practice of each drill. After completing this section of the session, the remainder of the class will be surfing and practicing while receiving in water feedback with our coach Ophé.

This is an adults only program with a maximum of 6 spots available, to ensure you get the most out of it. Sign up via the link in our bio.

One of the most commons questions we get from our students is what is the difference between our level 1B and 2A programs.

The focus for our Level 1B is to learn the skills and techniques to paddle out and surf small unbroken waves. This level is for you if you can stand up on a surfboard in the whitewash, but have never paddled past it before.

Our focus for our Level 2A class is to build your confidence in surfing small unbroken green waves. This level is for you if you already know how to paddle out into small unbroken waves, however you may have a mental block or feel nervous catching unbroken green waves. This can look like freezing or throwing your board during your pop up and sitting too far out on the shoulder of the wave and unable to catch the waves you paddle for.

Still wondering which level is best suited to you and your surf experience? Send us a DM with any questions you may have and we'll help to point you in the right direction.

Do you want to know one of the things that our students love about our programs?

The consistency!

They know that they have to turn up on the beach at the same time, every week for 6 weeks. Even without the coaching and all that is learnt during our program, heading out for a surf at least once a week is an absolute game changer for anyone wanting to improve their surfing.

We know it can be particularly hard during the colder months, when it takes a little more will power to get in the water. Imagine how solid your surfing will be by the time Summer rolls around if you're consistently surfing between now and then!

Our next 6 week program Winter Waves goes live to the general public on Monday!
