THE TEAM

ABOUT

Back when we were youngsters we loved being in the ocean and always wanted to go surfing.  Whether that be before school, after school, on the weekend or during school holidays.  However doing this wasn’t such an easy task. We all lived on the North Shore, not the northern beaches. Not such an easy stroll to the local break.

 

Often when the waves were on, we found ourselves nagging our parents to let us get the bus down to the beach or one better to give us a lift.  Promises that the lawns would be mowed on the weekend or a meal would be cooked one night were common bribes, however distance and organisation played it's toll, and often it was just to difficult for us to enjoy the therapeutic nature the ocean brought us.  At one point Christian insisted his family needed to move to the Northern Beaches, just so he could get his regular dose of salt water therapy...however surprisingly, he just wasn't convincing enough.

Man! Having a surf obsessed teenager on the North Shore is exhausting….a shame isn't it, particularly when the ocean activity can provide such physical and therapeutic benefits.

 

Today, as a collective of individuals with an array of experience with kids in sport and over a decade of surf experience, we are here to change this story for the current generation of kids who remind us of ourselves.  We are here to provide a stress free solution for surf obsessed kids who are challenged by their living location, to pursue their love for surfing and other not so easy to coordinate adventure activities.
