FAQ [frequently asked questions]
WHO ARE WE?
A surf club run by members on a voluntary basis as we live and breathe wind and salty seawater.
HOW DO YOU JOIN?
It is mandatory to have said “Æloha” to us at one of our intro events.
Once upon a time they used to be casually held each last Tuesday of the months from April to August, however...
...because of a great interest in the club during the last years, we were forced to introduce new procedures for these events.
