About
Surfing lessons at Siloam Springs Kayak Park! Curriculum taught. Strokes, Trimming the board, Crossing eddy lines, peel & surfing the wave.
NWA is growing & with this growth we have one surfing park that’s been around since 2012. Now about 7 miles down river from this park there’s another one being built & expected to open this year. We’ve been land locked & surfing hasn’t been available in Arkansas, yet now it is! I hope to share this love for the river, it’s waves & surfing on them. Looking forward to shredding the waves with you this Spring!!
