Surfing the North Coast

August 29-31

This ocean filled weekend will take place on the beaches of the North Coast. The North Coast has some of the best locations due to the various waves that break and the magnificent beauty that surrounds. What better way to begin your stay in Humboldt than with a weekend adventure focusing on learning or refining your skills in surfing. This trip will take place at beginner friendly beaches and will consist of paddling and standing up techniques, water safety, and ocean awareness. Surf etiquette tips will shadow all the lessons; by learning and practicing these simple “rules of the water” Humboldt will continue to be a unique place to surf. This trip is designed for those with little or no prior surfing experience.

Program Fee (per trip): $129 includes transportation, instruction, surf equipment, food, and campground fees
