MONEY MATTERS - I've had a couple of questions about money, so I thought that I would just respond to everyone. I would definitely recommend taking out USD in advance and requesting smaller, crisp bills - $5, $10, $20 bills. I would recommend bringing a few hundred US dollars ($300+) as you can always go back home with USD (it doesn't go bad).
SURF SISTER SURF INSTRUCTORS -
Tiff (Surf Sister's GM) - If you are looking for a good time, track down this beauty by following the echoes of her contagious laugh. This girl pours her heart into making sure anyone that walks through the doors at Surf Sister has a good experience and surf lesson. She cares so much about surfing, we are certain she wants you to enjoy it as much as she does. Tiffany inspires us all to be better surfers with her early morning surfs almost every dang day and her yoga practice that keeps her shreddin'. She is the queen of the big hugs and and if you need it she'll pet your head like a cat. We love Tiffany almost as much as she loves birds… Almost.
Ava - Ava was raised on the West Coast of BC, a pluviophile through and through! She fell in love with Tofino and Surf Sister after taking her first surf lesson with us at the age of 12. Since joining the team in 2019, Ava has developed a deep love and appreciation for instructing and sharing her stoke for surfing. The most rewarding part of teaching for Ava is connecting folks to the power of the ocean and encouraging bodies to move in a new way. Ava spends most of her time with her dog, in the woods, on the beach, or in the water. A few of her other favourite things include oysters on the half shell, bowling, the Rolling Stones, travelling, tall trees, and great clothes. Be sure to say hi if you see her, she loves to make friends in the water!
REMEMBER: Passport, $USD, a few swimming suits, plenty of sunscreen, a long sleeve shirt for sun protection, a reusable water bottle, yoga clothes, PJs (for those sharing a room), proof of vaccination...etc.
