WOMEN ON THE WAVES
Surf Therapy for Women …
Women on the Waves is in an in-depth, inclusive women’s only surfing program for females thirteen and older (no maximum age) and for all abilities and backgrounds.
Bonnie from North Caloundra Surf School, has designed this program for women, who not only want to learn how to surf but would like to be a part of a social sisterhood and meet new like-minded friends. Women on the Waves is a haven where ladies can feel comfortable and safe while learning to surf, and also understanding the ways of the ocean.
Bonnie’s coaching style emphasises surf safety & awareness, building confidence and developing drive – a down-to-earth approach to women’s surfing. Bonnie says that “the program has always been a great social environment but it’s also my goal to train the ladies so they can surf confidently and safely on their own.” The group is mainly for beginners (first-time beginners, intermediate beginners, advanced beginners and occasional intermediates).
This specified program is also instructed by our best female coaches (assistance may be provided by male instructors when required) who will guide, help and answer any questions about this extremely empowering art and sport. From beginner to intermediate, this program is all about having fun and unleashing your greatest potentials in the water.

As a student, to succeed: I must always try to keep a positive attitude towards learning, even if I am met with challenging surf conditions. I am doing this for myself, and because I am truly passionate and curious about surfing. I will try to hold a realistic expectation for myself and not be disappointed when I don’t immediately achieve. I am willing to listen and receive advice by experienced professionals, who may also be a lot younger than I am. I understand that 95% of surfing is surf awareness, board handling and paddling, while only 5% is standing on a wave.
I understand that to learn I must always try my best first, before expecting a coach to do the work for me. I understand that coaches may be bold at times, but it’s with the intentions to keep me safe and assured, while in a potential high risk environment. If I am feeling odd about something, I make sure I always communicate it with my coach.
