I don't usually write reviews, but I had to take the time to share how impactful this program has been for my family and my son. Watching his confidence grow and his connection to himself and his environment deepen has been incredible. The growth he's gained through this practice is truly special. Huge thank you to Coach Shorme, who works so hard for this community and plays such an important role in supporting resilient, confident, and capable young people in Santa Cruz.

I saw the kids doing some amazing tricks at the playground, but really what stuck out to me was the sheer amount of joy and happiness from every kid! They just looked free and stoked! It was like all their lights were turned on, so I decided to give it a try. I walked up to them that same day. Shorme is a very wise and supportive coach on all levels, she gave me exercises and things to practice away from the group that will keep me conditioned. She also tailored the movements to meet my capabilities and needs as a beginner. It felt seamless to join and I was deeply welcomed into the group. Shorme and the other coach are masters at their craft and really dedicate so much time and energy to making us feel encouraged and like any of our goals are possible! Absolutely recommend giving it a try for your kids or yourself!!

The Hardware: New resurfacing of their outdoor 50 meter pool Crystal clear waters of perfect temperature Deep gutters and sturdy lane ropes (properly tightened) to help decrease the wake Standard, but clean locker-room The Fluff: Spectacular setting next to UCSC's East field, with exceptional vistas over town and out to the ocean. You can go for a good workout, than lay on the grass, watching the clouds make Slug mascot shapes as they roll back over the ocean. The Logistics: If you aren't a student, you can swim here by way of joining their excellent Masters team or (according to the website) by purchasing a "Wellness Pass." I know that gastropods like water, so perhaps it's no surprise that the UCSC Banana Slugs made this the crown jewel of their sports facilities. I'd gladly swim here every day if I lived down here. (Don't worry, no actual slugs in the pool!)

I had a great time learning from Neil. My brother in law and I got a lesson / tour from him on the…read moreocean. It is pretty easy. It's a lot easier than regular surfing, but it doesn't give you the same rush. It's really mellow. The on land instructions only took 10 min. Our tour was roughly 2 hrs. Neil didn't rush it. You can get classes a lot of places but the difference with Neil is that you get to hang out and learn from someone who has been in Santa Cruz for 35 yrs. He has written for the newspaper and has a weekly radio show (Off the Lip, KSCO AM 1080; www.ksco.com) so he is well known by the locals. We were amazed at how many people knew him as we paddled passed surfers in the water. He also knows a lot of stories about the personalities in the area. It was really cool to be around someone so knowledgeable about the local culture of surfing and eager to share it. If you don't have a wetsuit you'll probably want to rent one since the water is about 60 degrees in the summer. We picked up ours with Neil at Freeline Surf Shop ($10). Then he took us down 38th Street where we parked. He provided the boards and paddles we needed, which seemed fine. He takes cash only. Ocean lesson was $55 and the harbor was $45. He steered us toward the ocean since it was a calm day. I probably fell in 6 times, but it was very easy to get back on the board and get back up. Anyway, I strongly recommend Neil. I didn't price shop the class so you may be able to get the lesson elsewhere for less, but I don't know if you'd get the benefit of hanging out with a character like Neil.
