Surf Steps

Surf School came to school today for a lucky class of Grade 2 kids in Sydney. Now they won't just wreak havoc in the class room, they'll be doing it in the surf too. Yeeww. SS.

Our instructors took a well earned break from teaching to get bogged in sand dunes, discover some perfect surf, and find a new use for our surf steps mat - very comfy. But now we're back at it. Enquiries and orders at: [email protected]. Yeww!. SS.

Our head instructor only forgot a few of his lines when a camera was in front of him to film the surf steps online tutorials. Then when the beautiful Soph stepped on the mat he forgot how to speak. Just for a bit. Yeww. SS.

If two delivery guys are going to drop a thousand new surf mats to our Sydney warehouse, they're damn well going to learn how to surf while they do it. He even took a few home for the kids. Bend those knees Trevor. Yeeww. SS.

You know it's time to leave the comfort of your surf steps practice mat and head into the ocean when the sun shines down and chooses you. Today it chose Lucy from Singapore, and Lucy from Singapore stepped up. Yeww. SS.

Here's a pic of Tommy in a barrel, and a pic of Tommy talking about Tommy in a barrel. Yeww! SS.

Today we welcome Jay as an official Surf Steps ambassador, who is helping us take the steps to the world. She's one of the coolest girls in Byron. She surfs good. And she smells good. Go Jay. Yeeww. SS.

Surf Steps instructor Greg points the way forward by taking his first ever surf lesson on a farm. The cows loved it, the horses loved it, and most importantly the people loved learning it. Yeeew. SS.

Our instructor Tommy reckons people from Scotland can't surf. Very soon Alexis will prove him wrong and become the next best thing Scottish surfing has to offer (and maybe even surf better than Tommy). After she learns her steps we told her to use her mat to add another layer of warmth to her wetsuit. Yew. SS.

We gave these grommets free surf lessons in exchange for some chocolate biscuits and a new website they agreed to build for us. Man, kids are smart these days. Check it out. http://www.surfsteps.com.au

There was lots of learning happening early this morning at camp Surf Steps. Our instructors took them through their steps, sent them out to sea, and they all came back as surfers. Yeww. SS.
