About
Summa Love Surf Camp offers surfing, body surfing, surf etiquette, and ocean safety and ocean awareness instruction, along with beach games and skill-building activities. The program also includes creative art sessions and activities that focus on simple ways to protect the environment. In addition to youth surf camp sessions, Summa Love Surf Camp offers Women’s Surfing & Yoga.
• Schedule: The 3.5-hour surf camp features small group instruction with 2–4 students per instructor and about 2–2.5 hours of surf time each day.
Summa Love Surfing & Yoga LLC was founded in 2005 by Bryan Zinski, a Monmouth University alumnus, and is celebrating 21 years in business. The program describes itself as Monmouth County's oldest and most established surf camp, with over 100 years of combined surfing experience and low student-to-instructor ratios. Summa Love Surf Camp states that safety is always the first priority and that it offers safety-guided surf camps with small group instruction, shifting to 1-on-1 instruction with rotating surfing, body surfing, beach games, and skill-building activities when ocean conditions are rough.
The camp’s mission is for students to safely have fun in a low-pressure learning-to-surf environment, make new friends, and learn to become surfers with proper ocean safety knowledge, ongoing surfing progression, environmental awareness, peacemaking, positive confidence throughout life, and community involvement through volunteer programs. The program is fully insured and fully licensed, with CPR/AED certified instructors, and is accredited by the National Surf School & Instructor Association (NSSIA) as a surf school and instructor program since 2005. Summa Love Surf Camp notes that it welcomes everyone from first-time surfers to seasoned wave riders and that experienced surf instructors work together to build strong technique, confidence, and flow in and out of the water.
Community involvement includes helping give back to communities with volunteer programs, and Bryan’s roles as a board member of Surfer’s Environmental Alliance, a committee member with Clean Ocean Action, and a New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame committee member. Testimonials from parents and participants describe attentive and supportive staff, children and adults having memorable experiences learning to surf, forming bonds with counselors and other campers, and participating in mindfulness practices and calming exercises on the sand before entering the ocean. The program asks that all campers bring warm clothes.
