The Palisades-Malibu YMCA, in collaboration with PTA Northshore Surf Shop of Topanga, will be holding a Hawaiian-style surf camp from August 9 to August 12. The program is for beginners between the age of 9 and 15 who enjoy ocean swimming. ”Instructors will teach participants the basics of surfing and will show them the “Ohana” style of surfing. Participants will have individualized one-on-one surf instruction, and will learn fun sand games and lessons about Hawaii’s surf tradition. ”Bob Ellis, a native of Pacific Palisades and an expert in “Ohana”-style surfing, is director of the surf camp program. He owns the PTA Northshore Surf Shop in Topanga and in Haleiwa, Hawaii. Many of the surf instructors for the camp will be here from his shop in Hawaii. ”The Surf Camp program, at selected local beaches, will run from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. daily. The cost is $200, and includes professional instruction, surf-board use, surf camp t-shirt, and use of wet-suit if needed. Enrollment is limited, and financial aid is available to those who qualify.
