STS PHILOSOPHY
Nowadays, it seems like everyone wants to
be a surfer, but only a select few possess the knowledge and skills to
truthfully call themselves one. Why is it that some people are born
into surfing and others aren't? Believe it or not, not all surfers grew
up on the beach in California, or had an older brother that pushed them
into their first waves. Some of the most talented and hardest working
surfers in the world come from a little slice of heaven we like to call, The Jersey Shore.
While surfing may not be for everyone, at SummerTimeSurf we strongly believe that
Joy of Surfing
CORE VALUES
1. To Promote Healthy Living Through the Surf Lifestyle
2. To Inspire the Next Generation of East Coast Surfers through
Positive Role Models
3. To Provide a Well-Rounded Program that Effectively Teaches the Art of Surfing
4. To Change the Surfer Stereotypes and Focus On The
Athleticism and Unique Skills of Surfers.
5. To Practice Environmental Responsibility and Community Service
Our Take On Surfing
The Ocean is the World’s Greatest Playground. The Ancient Polynesians understood this and dubbedsurfing, "The Sport of Kings.” At STS we define surfing as a sport, an art, AND a lifestyle. The ancient Hawaiians and Polynesians have celebrated surfing in their culture for thousands of years and still do to this day. It is through their values and example that we modern surfers have found inspiration. The ancient Hawaiians taught that to become a Kahuna (expert) surfer, one must master many aspects of ocean life. SummerTimeSurf Camp teaches its students the steps they must take to become a Kahuna themselves. With surfing in mind as the ultimate goal of a waterman, SummerTimeSurf will show you how to reach your full potential and “maximize your surf time.” True surfers feel a deep connection with the ocean and have a great respect for our Mother. Getting in rhythm with nature through surfing can be the most rewarding thing you'll ever do. Because the Ocean is so alive; moving with the tides, the waves, the currents, and the sea life, we must be able to adapt our approach to its many moods. True watermen understand that there are many ways to interact with the ocean and that we can get out as much as we are willing to put in. Surfers must be able to recognize and identify a number of varying factors on an ever-changing playing field. While this takes years to master, with our instruction, we can help you to put yourself in harmony with the ocean. Once you begin to feel what it is like to be in true rhythm with a wave, a surf spot, or the ocean as a whole, you have found what it means to truly be stoked. The pursuit of this stoke creates a lifestyle. Surfing is one of the few endeavors that one can pursue into old age. We must respect our elders and their contributions to the surfing environment today. We are inspired by their lifelong pursuit of wave riding, and it is our duty to pass on the knowledge and traditions to the next generation of surfers. We honor the traditions and rules in place and look for ways to improve the surfing community and maintain a healthy environment for the future.
