The Epic Surf League is getting fired up for the Fall Season beginning this August!! A competitive league for boys and girls, ages 7-18 yrs. old.

The League aims to help young surfers excel in the sport by practicing surf specific conditioning and technique training. Surfers will learn everything from contest strategy to advanced maneuvers and from surfboard design to ocean safety. We emphasize good sportsmanship, values, and fellowship with others, in addition to teaching high performance surfing.
