“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.”
-Vince Lombardi
The San Marcos Surf Team holds three practices each week, but we expect surfers to get in the water and work on their technique, endurance, and power as much as possible outside of practice.
Practices will be held:
- Tuesday morning (optional) from sun-up to whenever surfers need to go to school. (usually at Grandview)
- Thursdays from 3:45 pm – 5:30 pm (usually at Grandview, as soon as you can arrive after school)
- Saturdays from 8:30 am – 10:30 am (usually at Ponto)
Pay attention to text from the Remind app. Coaches may make adjustments to the practice location immediately before practice depending on conditions.
Check-In:
Surfers must arrive on time and be ready for practice on the beach at the designated start time. Each surfer must check in with the coach(es) present and be ready to work hard.
Practicing Perfect:
Each practice will consist of some of the following: warm-up and stretching, free surf time, mock heats, endurance training, core training, and surf training. Surfers who miss practice or don’t participate in the training exercises will not surf in contests.
