Little Surf Co.

There is simply nothing like U.S. Open week in Huntington Beach. 🌊

Day 1 was one for the books as our campers got to experience the excitement of surfing just down the beach from the world’s best athletes, with the energy of the U.S. Open all around us. From the cheers on the beach to the sound of the announcers, every wave reminded our students that they’re part of something truly special.

Watching the pros push the limits while our campers caught waves of their own had been such an inspiring experience. It’s not every day you get to surf alongside the biggest names in the sport while soaking in the electric atmosphere of Surf City, USA.

The smiles were endless, the waves kept rolling in, and the memories are already unforgettable. And the best part? We’re only halfway through…

Here’s to an incredible week of surfing, friendships, and inspiring the next generation to dream big.

Week 6 is bringing the energy! 🌊☀️ We have one of our biggest groups of the summer out this week, and the stoke has been absolutely incredible!

From perfect waves and smiling faces to new friendships, epic rides, and nonstop beach adventures, this crew has brought their best energy every single day. Watching these kids grow in confidence, cheer each other on, and make unforgettable memories is what summer camp is all about.

We’re soaking up every minute with this awesome crew! 🤙💙

💫 New Teacher Spotlight 💫

Heather McMillen was born and raised in Kailua, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, and is excited to join the Little Surf Co. Institute enrichment team as our new yoga instructor. Since 2021, Heather and her family have been an integral part of the LSC community, with all four of her children having attended or currently attending our program. Having experienced firsthand the positive impact of this unique learning environment, she is thrilled to now serve the community in a new way.

Heather earned her Bachelor of Arts in Law and Society from Penn State University and recently completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certification through LifePower Yoga, specializing in yoga, meditation, and breathwork. A dedicated yoga practitioner for more than 20 years, Heather has experienced the profound ways yoga can cultivate resilience, clarity, joy, gratitude, and inner peace. She is passionate about sharing those same lifelong benefits with her students.

Heather’s vision for her classes extends far beyond teaching poses. She hopes to create a welcoming “yoga family” where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Each class will blend movement, breath, mindfulness, and fun in an engaging, age-appropriate way that meets children where they are. Through weekly themes centered around values such as gratitude, kindness, honesty, moderation, and compassion, students will not only strengthen their bodies but also develop confidence, emotional awareness, and meaningful life skills they can carry beyond the beach.

Her thoughtfully structured classes will incorporate moments of movement, mindfulness, relaxation, and reflection while maintaining an energetic pace that keeps children engaged and excited to learn. Whether practicing partner poses, breathing exercises, guided relaxation, or playful yoga challenges, Heather’s goal is for every student to leave class feeling stronger, calmer, more connected, and ready to shine both on and off the mat.

Heather is honored to be part of the Little Surf Co. Institute team and looks forward to helping students discover the joy, confidence, and lifelong benefits that yoga has to offer.

What an epic Week 5 of Summer Surf Camp!

Thanks for bringing the energy, smiles, and stoke every single day, kiddos—we can’t wait to do it all again next week! 💙🏄‍♂️☀️

From coach to dad—there’s nothing better than paddling out with your boys. 🤙🤍

Week 4 is officially underway, and what an epic way to kick things off! 🤙☀️ Yesterday brought stunning weather, a perfect low tide, and plenty of fun waves for our campers. We couldn’t have asked for a better start, and we’re pumped for everything the rest of the week has in store! 🌊💙

Nothing says summer quite like another incredible week of Surf Camp! 🌊☀️ Week 3 was the perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend and celebrate the Fourth of July with a bang. 🇺🇸 So many smiles, waves, high-fives, and unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to do it all again this week! 🤙💙

We’re excited to finally share some incredible moments from our 6th Annual Surf & Science Academy Awards Ceremony & Beach Bonfire this past May! 🌊🏆🔥

We couldn’t be more proud of every one of our surf students and all they accomplished throughout this school year. From building confidence in the ocean to developing new skills, friendships, and a true love for surfing, it has been incredible to watch each student grow.

Our annual awards ceremony is one of our favorite traditions—bringing together families, coaches, and students to celebrate a year of hard work, perseverance, and community. The evening was made even more special with an incredible turnout, a breathtaking Huntington Beach sunset, and the perfect way to end the night… roasting s’mores around the campfire. ✨🌅🍫

Thank you to our amazing Little Surf Co. families for making this community so special. Here’s to another unforgettable year and many more memories to come! 🤙💙
