In addition to club members presenting, we’re excited to have Amy Culver as our guest speaker once again! Amy has been mastering the art of steering since she was just 9 years old and has dedicated her life to learning from the ocean. She’s had the honor of working with legendary coaches like Nappy Napoleon, Billy Whitford, and Titaua Tahi. Much of her wisdom comes from her deep connection with the ocean, and she’s eager to share her insights with us.
“Some of my best times on the ocean has been with Outrigger Santa Cruz, both as a steersperson and Coach.” ~Amy C.
