Surf Art on the Eastern Shore, Year II: Nova Scotia Sea School

10 teenagers aged 14-19, will have a great opportunity to gain access to surfing through this unique project. The project is supported by local surf artists and surfers, who will mentor participants as they learn to shape and sand their own boards, design the art which will decorate their board, and learn to surf. Led by expert shaper Brent Seamone, local surfer/ educator Juel Maerz, and HRM Recreation instructor Jenny Thornhill, the Nova Scotia School with Halifax Regional Municipality Recreation have designed a program that inspires community development with a focus on creative art and recreation.

The  project  utilizes the talents of local surf culture including the Quiksilver Surf School, Burnside Fiberglass Marine Supply, One Life Surf School, Fist Fulla Fives,  the Surfriders Association of Nova Scotia and numerous volunteer artists, shapers, surfers and youth alumni from the 2009 surfbuild

This year new activities will be incorporated, including video/photo documentation, zines, and surfboard art.  Participants will camp at Camp Brunswick in East Chezzetcook and make use of local beaches.
