Surf Guidance

 

Surf guidance with Ashley starts with declaring one's intentions for the session. Respect, ocean safety, and surf etiquette are the foundations, and through this Ashley sets one up to achieve their surf goals. As our needs are all unique, Ashley provides help for beginners, intermediates, and even more experienced surfers looking to further their skills or boost them from the plateau they may be on. 

 

Whatever it may be that you may need from the ocean, surfing can be a beautiful discovery and adventure in self-growth.  Ashley loves the potential and opening she sees people create for themselves as she celebrates with them, sharing her knowledge and presence. 

​

We may be strengthened through our challenges.   Ashley recognizes what is working for her clients in a positive way, as well as what ways may use a shift of perspective.  While Ashley’s expertise is in surf refinement, she acknowledges that her suggestions are purely an offer for people to experience through surfing, another pathway to further refine the trust in their own being.
