Weekend Waveshaker Program Gets Kids Surfing this Fall

Sure, Austin kids might be back to school, but summery fun hasn’t ended over at NLand Surf Park! NLand​ ​and​ ​Boneshaker Project​ ​are​ ​partnering​ ​​this​ ​fall​ ​to​ ​host Weekend Waveshakers — ​Saturday ​surf​ ​clinics​ ​for kids ages 8-13 from September​ ​9th ​through​ ​October​ ​28th.

Kids​ can​ ​enroll​ ​in​ ​Saturday​ ​surf​ ​clinics​ that offer ​three hours​ ​of​ ​fun​ from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. with ​local​ ​athlete​ ​speakers,​ ​activities​ ​and​ ​games, lunch,​ ​30​ ​minutes​ ​of​ ​dry​ ​land​ ​surf​ ​instruction,​ ​and​ ​50​ ​minutes​ ​of​ ​surfing​ ​led​ ​by​ ​an NLand​ ​surf​ ​coach.

“It’s​ ​amazing​ ​to​ ​see​ ​kids​ ​who​ ​have​ ​never​ ​surfed,​ ​stand​ ​up​ ​on​ ​their​ ​boards​ ​during​ ​that first​ ​coaching​ ​session.​ ​The​ ​consistency​ ​of​ ​the​ ​waves​ ​at​ ​NLand​ ​makes​ ​for​ ​the​ ​perfect environment​ ​to​ ​teach​ ​surfing,​ ​and​ ​share​ ​the​ ​stoke​ ​with​ ​a​ ​whole​ ​new​ ​generation​ ​of surfers​ ​in​ ​Central​ ​Texas,”​ ​says​ ​Alex​ ​Ecenia,​ ​Executive​ ​Director​ ​at​ ​Boneshaker​ ​Project.

Each​ ​weekend,​ ​Boneshaker​ ​will​ ​spotlight​ ​a​ ​local​ ​Austin​ ​athlete​ ​or​ ​fitness​ ​professional who​ ​will​ ​speak,​ ​demo​ ​their​ ​skills​ ​and​ ​share​ ​their​ ​passion​ ​with​ ​Waveshakers. Engaging​ ​activities​ ​could include ​hula​ ​hooping,​ ​boxing,​ ​BMX,​ ​and​ ​more.

Weekend Waveshaker sessions will be held from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on the following dates:

  • September 9, 16, 23, 30
