LA Surf Bus
302 19th St.
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
310-850-3948
email: info@lasurfbus.org
The idea behind the LA Surf Bus is simple: bring eager kids ages 5-17 and their attendants from challenging LA and OC County neighborhoods for a day at the beach and back on a chartered city “SURF BUS.”
Surf Academy’s program introduces the group to the beach and ocean environment through safe age-appropriate games and challenges that build safety awareness and confidence. The groups have committed to one day a week all summer which is 8 visits over 8 weeks. They will be picked up at a set time and location by a chartered bus.
Surf Academy’s staff ratio for water activities is 1:10 or less. The visiting group brings their own supervisors. Ultimate ratio is 1:5 with combined staffs. A variety of activities are planned around the surf conditions of the day:
- Learn about waves
- Learn to body board
- Build sandcastles
- Learn about rip currents & tides
- Beach arts and crafts
- Exhausting beach games
- Meet the lifeguard
- Simple wave games
- Learn about environment
- Surf lessons
Surf Academy’s kids surf camps are for ages 8 – 17. Give your Wahine (Hawaiian for Girl) or Kanaka (Hawaiian for Boy) the chance to learn ocean surf sports from an energetic and well-trained safety minded staff. Our instructors include champion surfers, lifeguards and moms. Your child will love the personalized attention that our low student-to-instructor ratio provides, and you will love the peace of mind knowing that safety is priority. Surf Academy Surf sports include surfing, ocean swimming, paddling, bodyboarding, body surfing, beach games, and ocean safety. Campers are provided with all the equipment required including, soft surfboards, wetsuits and colorful rash guards to identify them as part of our program.
Surf Academy runs kids surf camps in three location: El Segundo at Pratte’s Reef, Santa Monica at Ocean Park and Huntington Beach at Seapoint. All locations are run with the same safety standards and proven teaching methods. For more information on how you can help please visit www.LAsurfbus.org.
