This summer there have been three new additions. A child surf club will run on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings from 10 to 11:30am throughout the summer. It will include lessons, their wetsuits, and surfboard rentals for a fee of $75.00. A female surf club will also run throughout the summer on Monday and Friday mornings
from 10 to 11:30am. The charge for this program will be $125.00, which will include their wetsuit, instructions and surfboard rentals. And the adult Surf Club will run from 10 to 11:30am on Wednesday and Sunday mornings throughout the summer. The course will include instruction, wetsuit and surfboard rentals for a fee of $125.00. These courses offer an excellent opportunity to learn the art of surfing. The Recreation Department’s Surf instructors, under coach Michelle
Richards, will again be offering lessons throughout the summer to individuals who do not want to be part of the 3 above clubs. Surf instructors Carli and Matt, as well as Michelle, will be on hand to
give instructions to those interested in taking individual lessons. Lessons will consist of a one and a half hour period for a fee of $40.00 or a 4 lesson package of one and a half hours each for a fee of

For surfers coming to Point Michaud Beach who will not be taking lessons and only require surf equipment the surf program can also meet their needs. There will be a fee of $10.00 for the rental of either a surfboard or wetsuit or and a fee of $15.00 when you rent both items. The surf program at Point Michaud Beach will start July 1st. and run throughout the summer season. To check the Surf Report: call 1-902-227-1230 and the summer beach landline is 1-902-587-5112.
