THE BENEFITS OF SURFING CLASS AND WHAT YOU GAIN FROM IT

The surfing class and the sport of surfing in general, builds and develops the surfer both physically and mentally. Surfing is an aerobic sport that involves a variety of muscles at once, stretches the muscles and strengthens the core muscles. Surfers who exercise regularly improve their balance and thus increase their stability. Figuratively speaking, in many ways surfing simulates our lives. As with surfing, we have to wait patiently and carefully choose the best wave for us to ride. In the event we fall off the surfboard, we must quickly regain our composure and attempt to catch another wave. Often we come across currents and waves crashing down on us while we paddle into the sea (the surfing area). In such instances we teach the children to time the waves and choose the fastest and most convenient way of getting to the surfing area. While surfing, us surfers must read the wave and currents and respond quickly in order to best ride it. This improves the surfer’s speed of response.Surfing is an extreme sport that helps to release energy and tension, thus contributing to a feeling of relaxation and relief. * It is highly recommended for hyperactive children.

WANT TO EXPLORE NEW BEACHES?

The Gazebbo club is proud to present – “Surf Safari”. It is over 6 years now that we are going out on a Surf Safari each summer break.

The Surf Safari is a surfing trip on the coast of Israel in which we explore distant shores in search of the perfect wave. The safari is an opportunity for participants to experience a life of surfing from dawn till dusk, and get the full surf trip experience (like abroad). We’ll discover and explore new beaches, watch and learn their behavior, identify currents and learn how to get up on the surfboard in different situations.

Watching surf movies

We go on the safari in a luxurious bus with plasma screens, watching surf movies throughout the bus ride. A professional photographer will document the trip so that everyone gets a cool video clip to take back home. A team of experienced and responsible guides will look after the safety of the participants, strengthen their surfing skills and improve their performance. The trip is 3 days (2 nights) long and children get 4 meals a day. Travel destination varies depending on the location where the best waves are at the time.
