Learn to surf day for women

The Wowgirls Wave of Wisdom community network will be holding a Learn to Surf Day for women at Umina Beach on Saturday, February 12, from 10am until 12pm.

Coaches from Central Coast Surf School will take participants through the basics to get them riding the waves and having lots of fun.

Wowgirls president Ms Yvonne Lamont said she established the organisation in February 2008 from her love of surfing to support and connect women on the Central Coast.

The organisation now incorporates a number of activities including kayaking, drumming, belly dance, singing, cooking, yoga, fitness, martial arts and pottery.

Ms Lamont said she was inspired to help other women feel supported, valued and respected, to develop confidence, explore their true potential and forge lasting friendships.

The idea was to establish mutually supportive partnerships with existing community groups and businesses promoting services and programs in personal growth, health and wellbeing on the Coast, she said.

Over 40 businesses have since joined the network.

Wowgirls have an arrangement with each business to provide promotional days called Wowdays each year presenting their activity.

Grants were initially provided by Gosford Council, The Benevolent Society and the Everglades Country Club.

Ms Lamont is now planning to expand the club's activities on the Peninsula, with a view to establishing new partnerships with businesses and attracting local women to participate in the many activities on offer.

"Participating businesses will be promoted to our members in return for providing an agreed discount," said Ms Lamont.

"Contact details of each business will be listed on our website with a link to their website and also listed in the Discount Directory," she said.
