Surf Buddies
Like previous years, it’s great to see a healthy student population; the Annual Conference always proving useful for professional networking, seeking specialist opinion and advice from senior colleagues, research exposure, and don’t forget … striking up new friendships and sharing surf exploration stories!
At present, the ladies are just piping the gentlemen in terms of representation.
Gender mix
The full range of surfing expertise is also demonstrated in current confirmed delegates: Beginner; Intermediate; Advanced. Fortunately, the North-West has surfing spots to cater for everybody within a short distance of the Conference HQ, The Glasshouse, everything from rambling beach break to rock-bottom barreling reef.
