WHAT IS THE WAVEWISE YOUTH SURF PROGRAMME?
The WAVEWISE Youth Surf Programme is all about having fun, connecting with others and the ocean and learning some useful skills!
But: It is not a normal surf programme!
While having fun and connecting, we will work as a group to learn new helpful ways of dealing with challenging people and situations!
Because let’s be honest: We all have them in our lives and they are usually what drags us down at times!
WAVEWISE doesn’t only help you to get better in the waves, it helps you as well to be stronger in your daily life!
Surf sessions become life lessons!
What youth say who have experienced the Wavewise programme:
“I really liked that we got to work together and also learn something new every day! I learnt that there is always a choice of ways that you can deal with different situations!” – Young person, 16 years old, female
“It was fun but also helpful so I enjoyed it! I learned that waves start from a storm and if you try too surf to close to the storm you normally fail (…) so I look at it as to go away from the problem and give it time and then go back and try to sort it out (when things have calmed down).” – Young person, 15 years old, male
“The programme has taught me to get back up and try again when I fall and that we can’t always change what is going to happen but we can change what we do! I liked it and had lots of fun!” – Young person, 14 years old, male
WHAT HAPPENS AT A WAVEWISE SESSION?
Every Wavewise Session starts with Group-Exercises and Warm-Up-Games. Straight after that we will work on our surf skills and finish off with a debrief about what we have learned that day.

Our Wavewise Youth programme are open to any young person from 13-15 and 16-18 years (we run two different age-groups to make the learning more useful for our young people!)
