Throughout the summer, the water and our experiences in it are a constant opportunity for teaching. Correct surfing technique, rip current and ocean safety, surf etiquette, wave timing, the aloha spirit, turning, surfing history and how to give a surf report are just a few of the many topics covered at camp. In the afternoons, many students choose to swim or body surf which helps them learn wave judgement and further build their ocean confidence and understanding.

We also teach on environmental sustainability, oceanography and marine biology when the opportunities present themselves.

We believe in teaching surfing in a "family style" environment. By allowing kids/teens from 5-17 to interact, they're able to learn from each other about how to be respectful and independant, or about how to take care of and be kind to others. Our beach environment welcomes diversity and often hosts students visiting from around the world. This gives our local campers a chance to learn and interact with other kids/teens who have different perspectives, come from different backgrounds, or see the world differently. These interactions then further facilitate summer camp as a place of growth and development for campers of all ages.

Redondo Beach Surf Camps focuses on self surf-mastery. The goal and focus is to encourage campers to improve individually to best of their ability, consistently throughout the day, week, and summer. On Fridays we celebrate their accomplishments, effort and progress with awards, praise and prizes. It's a great time for parents to watch and for the camp to come together as a community. Our awards vary from "Best Turtle-Roll", to "Most Improved", "Biggest Wave", and "Most Creative Sunscreen". Our campers and instructors try to come to camp dressed festively with their Aloha Spirit shining! We encourage students to have fun, let loose, and be themselves.
