EXTRA | Surfing Lessons

Taught by:

Robert Farmer | Farmdog Surf School

Offered:

Friday May 20
Saturday May 21

Experience level: All Levels

This summer I joined my family for their annual holiday on Nags Head and as luck would have it, ended up taking a surfing lesson when my 12-yeaer old nephew decided he’d rather stay home and play minecraft.

It was a random decision as I had no plans to ever learn to surf that week. And, it was one of the best things I ever did. In just one lesson, I was up on the board riding waves in– you can see the poor quality video below to catch a glimpse of my first ride, ever.

When I shared the video at my facebook page– I got a lot of responses from people that they always wanted to try this, or to learn how. So, this week while we are together at Nags Head, we are lucky enough to have the Farmdog team on hand to help anyone who wants to try surfing give it a go.

Farmdog Surf School is where I went and I can tell you the instructors are wonderful and Robert Farmer, the owner has it all dialed in. There’s even a smoothie & juice bar next to the shop for when you come in off the beach.

They have ALL the gear you will need– wet suits, surfboards, etc. All you you need to do is show up with a smile and ready to POP up!

2020 We Create Belonging

Instagram post 2198074211822733699_228334504 happy Friday! ✨ we’re giddy over here at Team Squam HQ watching each of your registrations float into our inboxes 😍
.

A quick reminder before you settle into your weekend: pre-registration for FALL 2020 ends this Monday, Dec 16th— in case you’re wondering WHY you might consider pre-reg, here’s the nitty gritty 👉 if you pre-reg for the retreat, you have the opportunity to choose your top choices from ALL classes. In January, we’ll then open registration for any remaining spots in classes that may not have filled in pre-reg
.
.
SO, all that to say is IF you had your eye on a particular class (or two! or three!) for the FALL, do make a note of the pre-reg closing deadline on Dec 16th

All WE wanna do is snuggle and squish into this gorgeous blanket by @northknits — (you could learn to make this Triple Warmer Throw, using gorgeous @purlsoho yarn, next Fall! *hint hint* 😉) .

Wishing you a luscious weekend! #squamlove
