Surf Club with Pacific Coast Surf Lessons!

Mondays 3:30pm-5:30pm

Fall Session Dates: September 15- October 20

$295 for session

PCSL is insured and provides wetsuits, surfboards, leashes, boogie boards, and instruction. Students can take the bus to the tennis court drop-off where they will meet coach Nick. Parent pick-up will be back at the tennis courts at 5:30pm.

This 2hr surf club hosts kids ages 7-14 to continue to improve their surf skills and techniques throughout the school year. Nick O’Connor’s extensive background as a first responder, ocean rescuer and lifelong Bolinas surfer, provides the safety each student deserves while learning to surf in the thralls of the ocean. By being in a weekly class with other kids, we find our surfers excel through peer support and consistency. Throughout the session they will learn how the sand moves, waves change and patterns emerge. Bolinas is surfable year round and we cannot wait to host your child on a weekly basis to continuously boost their surf confidence and stay ocean fit.

I am happy to offer group string lessons for students in grades 2-8.

In this class we will:

-learn how to take care of our instrument

-engage in the art and discipline of practice

-begin learning how to read music

-learn basic fingering and bowing technique

-play simple songs

-experience the joy of making music together

Learning a stringed instrument at a young age is an excellent skill to carry into life.

And in case you didn't know- strings are really cool.

Getting an instrument:

We will do our best to provide instruments. There are a few violins at the school. There are no cellos or violas. If we are unable to match you with an instrument, you can easily rent one. I highly recommend renting through StringWorks.com. Through String Works, Instruments can be delivered right to Bolinas. The cost will be approximately $15-$ 20 per month.

I can help determine the correct size instrument for your child.

Shoulder rests will also be necessary. StringWorks can outfit the violins with shoulder rests, or they can be easily purchased.

All other materials will be provided.

Just so you know, I am a violin player, and so primarily I can teach violin and viola. Cello is not my instrument, but I do love it. Naiya played cello with us last year, and it was a fabulous addition. I am determined to find a way to make it work if there are students interested in learning cello.

Please email me if your child is interested in joining the string class and if you have any questions.
