Summer is here. Kids are out of school and into who knows what. Well, here's a program that can teach them a skill that we'd all like to have. Surfing dates back 100's of years to polynesia, however many don't realize that it's popularity really didn't take off until the early 1960's thanks in large part to movies and music like Gidget and The Beach Boys respectively. Now it's an American institution and has rapidly spread to South America, Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the world. Every Galvestonian, especially young ones, should give the sport a try.
The problem is, without learning the basics, the initial difficulty can be frustrating to the point of resignation. This is where Ohana Surf Camp can give you a leg (or two) up. The camp is kid oriented and has lots of great instructors. There is also always a lifeguard present when training so you don't have to worry about little Velsey or Tommy when you drop her or him off for the day.
So catch a wave! For more information, visit Ohana's website.
