Girls Shortboard Clinic Siargao

3-Day Girls Shortboard Clinic, Siargao Island

Siargao Island has just been named a stop on the 2026 WSL Championship Tour (Oct 31–Nov 10), putting the exact reef you'll be training on in front of the world’s best surfers.

Our All-Girls Surf Camp in the Philippines runs right alongside that season, so you can level up your shortboard on the same wave the pros will be riding.

This is a 3-day women's shortboard clinic for intermediate to advanced surfers who are ready to stop plateauing. Real coaching, real waves, a small crew of women who get it.

Hosted by Rich Spirit Yoga Studio, Cheeky Titas Tours, and Ocean Riders Siargao.

  • After each surfer fills out a questionnaire, we will create a customized lesson and surf plan for intermediate and advanced surfers. Sessions are timed around the tides, and every part of the schedule, surf spots included, is built around getting you the best water conditions possible.

    A few things you may learn:

    Wave selection judgment

    • Understanding the wave and building independence in the lineup

    • Committing to a wave vs. pulling back; reading your own limits

    • Prioritizing waves in a crowd respectfully (etiquette + assertiveness)

    Takeoff mechanics

    • Popping up further forward/back depending on wave steepness

    • Late takeoffs and steep drops

    • Adjusting stance for backside vs. frontside waves

    Progression-specific skills

    • Intro to snap turns and off-the-lip maneuvers

    • Carving with more commitment and speed control

    • Trim-to-turn transitions (linking flow with power)

    • Backside wave strategy (often the harder side for many surfers)

    Fitness & ocean awareness

    • Paddle efficiency and positioning to conserve energy

    • Duck diving technique on a shortboard

    • Current and rip awareness, safety in the lineup

    Mindset & confidence

    • Overcoming hesitation on bigger or steeper waves

    • Building consistency rather than one-off good rides

    • Visualization and pre-session goal setting

  • *Note that the first date in October will be for beginners transitioning from longboard or mid-length to shortboard. You must be able to at least ride unbroken waves ("green waves") on your own. We will learn shortboard foundations, how to duck dive, pop-up mechanics, proper stance, paddling, and more.
