WORKSHOPS

Lava Girl Surf was founded in 2012, when we launched the first New York Women’s Surf Workshop. These distinct off-water workshops are engaging social events that encourage women to explore the fundamental elements of the sport. 

In 2013 Lava Girl Surf hosted three off-water workshops that covered water safety and surf etiquette, off-water fitness, injury awareness and prevention, understanding surf data and forecasting, surfboard function and design, ding repair and more.

“We give women local surf information and relevant knowledge to increase their confidence in the water and gain independence in their surfing life.”
— Brandon d'Leo
