Philosophy

Surfing is one of the most fun, exhilarating and natural experience¹s one can feel on earth. Nothing can come close to the rush of paddling for the perfect wave, springing to your feet and riding a wave of pure natural energy. If you have never tried surfing, don¹t wait any longer! You will love it!

Surfing will enhance your life and help you to relax again. Through surfing and riding waves you will gather a greater appreciation for your body and environment in and around the ocean.

Surfing gives you a healthy lifestyle that can be shared with your friends and the whole family. So, stop thinking about going to try it or get back into it, make it your priority and give it a go this week. If you don¹t live by the ocean start planning an exotic surfing vacation. It will be one of the best vacations of your life.

If you want to improve your technique, or just get back out after a break of months or years, come surfing with us and see what a difference professional instruction together with modern equipment can do for your skill level.

So who is this remarkable woman?

Surf Champion and living legend, pioneer Woman's World Tour competitor: Hollywood stuntwoman, film producer, location manager, professional lifeguard, surf teacher, coach, businesswoman, friend, mentor - there are many ways to describe Nancy Emerson.

However, 'waterwoman' is what strikes you when you see her paddling out across the glassy swell, carving her way down a gnarly wave, or walking across the sand with her golden retriever Apache. With her sparkling eyes, effervescent personality, tan, and blonde hair, Nancy looks as though she not only was born in the ocean, but that she has saltwater running through her veins. Beneath Nancy's California-girl looks, there's intelligence and a great sense of humor that make her personality, like her surfing stand out from the pack.

"First I want to thank you for your Ohana Aloha Welcome. I had such a great experience. Nancy's welcoming Aloha spirit, and genuinely felt she really wanted me to have a positive experience with my surfing. She took the time after I had filled out the on line registration, I thought was a very thorough questioner, for her to understand my experience with the ocean, and use as a teaching tool. I had hit a plateau with my surfing and need some guidance.I had met Nancy a few months back in Fiji. I have been surfing for approximately 8 years, and am an instructor at a surf camp in the summer, here in Southern California. My first was a clinic in San Clemente that a group of my friends participated in. It was there the beginning of working out some bad habits. The next weekend I went to San Onfre, I had such a great session, and more confidence with the new techniques I had learned. Two weeks later I was in Hawaii, I had schedule private 1 on 1 with Nancy. She took my back to the basics. I was in a new spot, with new information. Nancy focused on my positive abilities first, and led into constructive instruction, that led to more confidant, controlled rides. She takes the time to write out affirmations for each student based on her observation and information with each student. That I believe helps her to better connect with the individual. A very personal way for the breakthroughs I experienced. I'm grateful to Nancy, her experience is defiantly a positive improvement to my surfing, and has taken me to a new level, I feel ready for."
