PRACTICE UPDATE (2023-09-25)
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept 26th @ 6:30a-8a
WHERE: ZUMA TOWER 13
WHAT TO EXPECT: Very small, 1'-2' surf, clean with a higher tide but not the kind of conditions we want our kids putting their contest hopes on the line for. We still have 2 weeks before the first contest, so we will hold the HS Mens Shortboard Seeding Heats asap.

ANNOUNCING AN AMAZING NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR SURFERS!!!
Our team has been invited to participate in an advanced release of a new AI-driven surf analysis platform!!! Coach John is super excited about this technology, he's reviewed it's benefits with the software provider and he thinks it's SUPER RAD!
Check out https://www.lotussurfing.com/surf-teams for a summary of the solution.
To participate, each surfer must purchase one of two annual subscription options. We can't publish the pricing here, but it's very reasonable, and you get a refurbished Apple Watch because that's a critical piece of the solution (or if you have an Apple Watch, you get a solid discount on the subscription).
Please email Coach John with the name of the interested Shark. We want to setup a zoom review of the solution with interested participants asap, and hopefully get this amazing technology into our practice lineup quickly.
