Sisters Sail

Sisters Surf Strength Training session with Olli.

This March Simon from Margaret River Surfing Academy is teaching a small group of women to learn
to read weather charts and choose a location which is going to suit their level of ability.
This Metrology tool is something you can take with you and apply in any surf location, anywhere in the world.
Another tool for your toolbox is Mindfulness. Simon is a big wave surfer and will teach how to use breath to relax yourself in new environments.
Outside of the classroom we will be having a play with surfskate, meeting for surf lessons, and on the last day - walking the cape to meet up with our coaches and boards.

Margaret River Surfing Academy.

Every Year The Rotary Club of Margaret River runs Mock Interviews for Year 12 Students.

I have volunteered for the last 3 & 2025 was it’s 20th year.

This year my panel met young Jack whose enthusiasm for the job, he actually already had, was infectious. It convinced, myself, Rosie and Andrea, the CEO of the shire, that we all wanted to try surfing even though we were in our 50’s and 60’s!

I put the word out to the local community encouraging woman of all ages to take 5 beginners lessons together.

We had a ball & two of the ladies now go surfing with their husbands who where too afraid to go out previously.
The conditions on the last day were not as perfect as they hade been for the first 4 sessions so we decided to take the lesson to the a cute little cafe by the water in the next bay. Jack taught us which app to use and how to read the charts, so that we would be able to decide where and when to go out in our region.

Jack mentioned that Simon, aka Satay Sticks - the business owner, is a wave surfer and very keen to teach the mindfulness side of surfing.

As a result I have created a Surf Series with Simon for local ladies.

Six lessons running this March, 2026.

Starting with Meteorology, so that we can look to surf anywhere in the world, and culminating in a hike of the Cape to Cape trail from Hamlein Bay to Boranup Beach to surf the break where the tall Karri forest meets the turquoise sea.

All going well I’ll be ready for the 10 day Surf Retreat my friend .beth.rise is coordinating this June in Sri Lanka.
