Choosing a surf school
If you can afford it, private classes are the best way to go! Otherwise make sure there aren't more than 5 students in the ocean with one instructor at a time.

Let Nancy Emerson
and her certified surf instructors add value to your next corporate
team building event in an Aloha Spirit.
Learning in
the ocean and surf:
- Creates an
atmosphere that is entertaining, relaxed, informative, and professional
and allows any stress to disappear.
- Enhances
relationships between co-workers through mutual dependency for
outcomes and personal achievement during an activity that is challenging
and enjoyable.
- Puts co-workers
on the same level where chain of command, in a formal sense, becomes
irrelevant.
- Lets co-workers
see their peers learning and improving in a new endeavor where
individuals can assist the learning of the whole team through
coaching and mentoring for growth and development.
- Gives people
a chance to interact at the beach and in the ocean so co-workers
observe each other in different surroundings.
Through relationship
building with Nancy and her team, participants will discover important
lessons that can be applied to their careers, including learning
to:
- Relax, breathe
and let go of stress in one’s life,
- Trust their
instructors and face and overcome their fears in a supportive
and structured environment,
- Take calculated
risks based on rational, logical and emotional experiences in
a holistic way,
- Allow themselves
to be guided by others and depend on others for success,
- Be patient
while learning new ideas and techniques,
- Appreciate
the differences between the strengths and weaknesses of each team
member, and
- Observe how
collectively the team becomes stronger through working together.
