** The skill transition sessions at the end of the season are provided to assist with Nippers skills and progression into the next season’s program. Activities are primarily water focused working on surf skills, board handing/paddling techniques and age dependent transitions including foam to fibreglass board transition and short to long board transition. As always, the conditions are assessed for participants safety and competency and proposed activities adjusted accordingly to suit the conditions. If the beach is closed or surf conditions unsafe, activities will be focused on the sand and fitness. Skills transition sessions are for U9s and above.
