What We Offer-Summer 2009

For over 4 years, SummerTime Surf has specialized in sharing our joy of surfing with students of all ages. Just ask anyone who has gone through our program: STS is the best surf school in New Jersey! 

Our classes and lessons are held all over Monmouth and Ocean Counties.  With two flagship sites in Belmar and Bradley Beach, and instructors at surfing beaches such as the Manasquan Inlet, we have the Jersey Shore dialed!



Summer Camps

Our flag-ship, full day camp in Belmar runs 5 days a week all summer, and teaches children ages 6-16 the fundamentals of surfing, as well as ocean swimming, marine science, environmental awareness, fitness, and friendship. (9am-2:30pm)

Our half-day camp in Bradley Beach focuses on the same essential skills in a half day format. (10am-1pm)  Children 8-16 learn while having the time of their lives in a safe and friendly environment.



Private Surf Lessons

SummerTime Surf offers surfing lessons to students of ALL AGES.

Private lessons run for 1 hour and 15 minutes, and include the use of our surfboards and wetsuits. Schedule either a private 1:1 lesson with an instructor, or come with a friend or family member and save! Our trained instructors have traveled the world in pursuit of their surfing dreams, and are here to pass on their expertise and stoke to you!



Active Adult Surf Classes:

SummerTime Surf’s Active Adult Surf Classes are offered to students who have been through our Private Lesson or Camp Programs. The Classes combine yoga, fitness, and guided surf sessions to help you reach your maximum surfing potential.  Come ready to work hard and leave with a smile.  Pre-registration required.

THE 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

Everyone Deserves the Opportunity to Experience the
Joy of Surfing

But you already knew that, and that's why you are in the
RIGHT PLACE!
Our co-ed team of instructors are completely committed to the surfing lifestyle. Our instructors have followed their surfing dreams all over the world and bring their vast knowledge and expertise to you. Our counselors come here from both the East and West Coasts, as well as from Hawaii and Australia. We have assembled a team of counselors that are not only talented surfers, but also enjoy teaching and "passing the stoke" of surfing. We believe in the future of East Coast surfing and want to be as much a part of that future as we possibly can.

STS 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 dubbed surfing, "The Sport of Kings.” At SummerTime Surf School 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, starting from their first wave.  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.
