For the Girls
With in Ladies Shred is a sweet spot for 'being', meeting ourselves exactly where we are at in this moment, and most importantly creating kindness as an act of rebellion.
We discuss topics like; emotional regulation, commitment, focus, fear barrier breaking, teamwork, friendship.
This is SO much more than board sports. It is how we show up for ourselves and our community.
We aren't creating professional athletes here. We are watering strong people!
Why girl focused? It's important that girls build healthy connections with each other, help each other through fears, and have the space to be candidly silly. Girls need to be HEARD and that's what we do here, we listen to the girls.
Tell us how much you love us!
