After School Programs

More than a surf school.

Our afterschool programs offer a wide range of water-based activities, including surfing, kayaking, sailing, and stand-up paddle boarding, and tide pooling, allowing kids to discover their favorite ocean activity.

Our enthusiastic coaches are all UCSB students who not only share their love for the ocean but also embody the spirit of academic pursuit and environmental stewardship. Their mentorship extends beyond sports, inspiring our young participants to dream big and see higher education as an attainable and exciting goal.
