Safety Values & Practices

"⛑️ a healthy surfer is a happy surfer! 😀"

• All aspects of our program have been designed with safety as the top priority.
• All Summertime Instructors are certified lifesavers trained in CPR and First Aid.
• Staff works with the local lifeguards and first aid squads to further ensure the safety of our students and staff.
• We plan and prepare all staffing needs to maintain student to instructor ratios based on years of program development. Please note that ratios guides are shared NOT as a guarantee, but rather to help understand how we plan for a standard day of programming. In some instances, ratios may vary.

##Program Ratio Guide

• 5:1 student to instructor ratio for intermediate/advanced programs

• 4:1 ratio for beginner programs

• 3:1 ratio for programs for students 6 yrs and under

• 2:1 or 1:1 ratio for private lessons

• Most common surfing conditions allow for students to spend the majority of their program time in the water, but during less favorable conditions, group programming may need to take turns in and out of the ocean in the best interest of safety.

• We are prepared for emergencies and have dealt with injuries, both serious and minor, effectively in the past. A tent/canopy acts as our home base, where students can enjoy shelter from the sun. All of our equipment is inspected daily for potential hazards and we provide only beginner-friendly surfboards.

• A waiver must be signed prior to the start of any program due to the inherent risks of surfing and other activities that our programs provide. That being said, we would like to assure you that we have carefully chosen a team of responsible adults and young adults to provide the best experience possible for you or your child. We realize that there will be bumps, breaks, bruises, cuts, scrapes, and possibly a few tears shed, but we will work with you and your loved ones to make sure that their experience is one that they walk away from smiling. 🌊 ✌️ 😊
