SURF SISTER IN COSTA RICA

Most notably this year, the Surf Sister instructors benefited from a training retreat to Costa Rica with training offered by Kim Hamrock, 12-Time U.S. Women’s Surfing Champion (www.dangerwoman.com).

Jenny also hired a professional photographer to shoot the girls while they surf as part of their technique critique and training, and to take pictures of the girls in Billabong’s 2008 surf fashions. Not a bad perk!

At the end of this dynamic training retreat, the instructors not only received their certification, NSSIA: National Surf Schools and Instructors Association, but they also had fun in the sun and enjoying the surf.

Last year, Jenny took her staff to Kauai to obtain their Life Saving Certification from well-respected ocean safety expert, Paul Durkin (www.aquaticexpert.com). Prior to the Kauai trips, Jenny has also trained her staff in Baja, Mexico.
