Adult Surf Class Refunds – If you need to cancel prior to 4 weeks of your class beginning, we can issue a full refund with no cancellation fees. Within 4 weeks of your week beginning and at least 48 hours notice, we can issue a makeup for future class dates, if space is available. Please note that class does sometimes sell out for certain dates, so makeup dates are not always available and can be limited. We post on our website as soon as weeks sell out and will add you to a list of dates for makeups that become available. Within 4 weeks notice for cancellation if you are not available for a make up, we can issue a refund with a $25 cancellation fee. If you cancel with at least 2 weeks notice, we can issue a 50% refund. Cancellations 48 hours before your class begins, we do not issue refunds or make ups.
Scheduling – All students should complete their enrolled class days before the summer is over to avoid losing the days completely. No make up camp days can be carried over into the new year.
Substitutions – We do allow substitutions prior to you starting class and we do ask for at least 24 hours notice for any substitution with new name and email. Any payment arrangements must be handled outside of Summa Love processing, we will only substitute the student and do not issue a refund.
Communication- When signing up, please make sure your email is included and accurate. We use email to alert for weather events, time changes, and additional important information. Please check your email regularly and always before heading to class.
Poor Weather – We will make the final call the morning of class. If we cancel or delay class, we will email everyone reserved and also post on the website on the bottom left of summalove.com with at least 2 hours notice. If we cancel class, we issue a make up. If thunderstorms hit 1/2 way through the class, we evacuate the beach immediately and wait until the storm passes to resume surfing. Make ups will not be issued for thunderstorms/ weather related issues outside of our offered makeup or extended camp.
NOTE – WE OPERATE RAIN OR SHINE! Some of the best surfing conditions happen when it is raining. If rain is in the area with scattered showers and overcast skies, we will most likely be surfing with surf camp OPEN. We have plenty of wetsuits to keep the kids warm. If rain is heavy/drenching, it’s cold out and very windy with rough seas and the forecast calls for the whole day to be like that, we most likely will cancel. Year to year we only cancel surf camp due to poor weather 0-2 times the whole season! Just because rain is in the forecast does not mean we will cancel surf camp or lessons. If you miss class due to the weather and class is ON, you will not be given a makeup.
