Thursday, 23 March 2023 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Organiser: Kathleen Griffin

Very occasionally Lyall Bay has somewhat decent surf & next Thursday is looking to be alright. 
I'm a fairly average surfer, but heard a lot of interest from club members about learning to surf so this is a spot for an evening surf where I can give a few informal lessons & we can just hangout in the water together.

I have a few spare surfboards, but you must have your own wetsuit. Lyall Bay is pretty cold & surfing is colder than swimming because you're in the water for longer & often just sitting still. (You can hire wetsuits from RealSurf if you'd like)

I've capped the trip size to 4, as that's how many surfboards I have. But if people can bring/borrow or are willing to hire surfboards from RealSurf, then happy to increase the trip size.

We will meet at Lyall Bay Beach so drive yourself, catch the bus or carpool with others as my car will be full of surfboards 🏄🏻‍♀️ 

Sign up or talk to me at the meeting for more info. 


 

full disclosure: I can't actually promise good surf, cos Lyall bay is a little unpredictable.
