Surf Completely – How To Turtle Roll

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO1UHFrj5TQ]
If you surf a shortboard, you have the luxury of duckdiving to get under waves. If you ride a longboard, you want to turtle roll. We get a lot of Amigas who come down wanting to learn to ride a shorter board just so they can duckdive. Why sacrifice paddle power and glide just to duckdive? Learn how to Turtle Roll instead!
In this video, Jackie and Holly talk you through the best way to Turtle Roll and show a few ladies trying it out for themselves.

A Good Day at the Bay

On the last day of the retreat most of the Amigas were already surfed-out and tired. We happened to have a pumping swell (particularly for December) and great conditions, so Holly paddled out and got a few waves herself while some Amigas watched from the shore break. 

Escaping Cold Weather to a Warm Water Paradise

Our December retreat scored super awesome conditions with all day offshore winds, a few small days of surf to get the Amigas warmed up, and then a few days of bigger waves that allowed them to get the best waves of their lives. Of course there were awesome sunsets, plenty of silliness, and delicious cocktails sprinkled throughout the week. Standard! Love sunsets, warm water, and surfing with new friends? Come play with us!

Boat Trip to the Island Point

On a rare December swell with good winds and a couple of shredding Amigas, we took a boat out to the island for a solo session. The wind was fierce and some of the drops were hard to make, but we each got at least one good one.

I was paddling out after a wave and saw Sherrin paddling into a huge wave. It was by far the biggest wave to come in all session and there she was at the top of it, ferociously paddling in on the 8’2″ NSP. I sacrificed myself into the whitewash so I wouldn’t get in her way and duckdove as she popped up to her feet, made the drop, and rode it all the way in! Unfortunately, it was not captured on video. Wah wah…. But I can assure you that it was awesome!

Really, when it comes down to it, we’re all about having fun. Whether it’s cheering for new friends as they catch the best wave of their life, sharing a cold beer under an amazing sunset, racing down the beach on horseback, or dancing at the top of a volcano, we love to have a good time. This group just so happened to top the volcano boarding speed list with Jess from Western Australia scoring 72km/hr, and a bunch more Amigas in the above 50km category. Thankfully, no one was injured!
