Have you ever thought about surfing but then convinced yourself it might be too late to start? Well, Todd Decker, a longtime guest and self-proclaimed “40-something middle-aged dude” (his words, not mine!), took the plunge and learned to surf at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp back in July 2012. He’s been returning every July since, missing only once in 2020 due to border closures.
Why Learning to Surf in Your 40s (or Anytime) Isn’t Crazy
There’s a common misconception that surfing is only for certain age groups, but Todd’s story shows that anyone can pick it up. While surfing can be challenging and the ocean might seem intimidating, it’s never too late or too early to start. At Witch’s Rock Surf Camp, you’ll have the support you need every step of the way and we want to make sure everyone feels welcome. As Todd says in his video, he’s seen people from 7 to 70 years old hitting the waves. The ocean welcomes you with open arms, and so do we!
