JOXY SURF DEVELOPMENT RESIDENTIAL

Joxy Surf is hosting a non-profit womens surfing development weekend myself and some friends are organising on the 11th - 13th Nov. It's for female Scottish surfers to try to get the more intermediate level surfers together for a laugh and to improve our technical aspects of the sport. We are a rare breed up here especially those surfing reefs and through the winter in snow and icy conditions! A maximum 20 women have signed up for the weekend.
We are gonna do a skating lesson at the local indoor skate park as well as a yoga session. During the surf sessions we will be filmed by Staunch's Janeanne Gilchrist so we can go through coaching points later in the day! We will also be improving fitness with beach lifeguard training and looking into conservation aspects of the surfing environment.

We will be mixing it up a bit with a music workshop and surf fashion design workshops so it should be good! Most of the girls have surfed for between 5-15 years so we're looking at improvements at intermediate level. 3 of us are Level 2 surf instructors and some of us have ranked in Scottish competitions.
Cooler magazine and Scotsman paper is also covering the weekend to help promote women's surfing in Scotland and raise it to the next level.

As you can imagine surfing in Scotland is radically different from the experience you read about in the magazines so we formed the spoof group 'Joxy' surf to demonstrate our experience of surfing. Check out the facebook pages! http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Joxy-Girls/84810788541
