About
There are many versions of this story, each beginning in a different place and meeting on Nova Scotia's Eastern shore.
It all began with a group of women with diverse talents, unique histories and one common passion: surfing.
One inspirational lunch at the Mermaid Cafe we realized that there lacked resources for women who surf and women who are interested in surfing.
One Life Surf School was born.

One Life Surf School seeks to promote female participation in surfing. We offer fun, friendly and affordable surf instruction that combines safety, surfing etiquette, and respect for the environment, along with a practical surf lesson. We offer ongoing support to those who wish to venture further into the world of surfing, and welcome your questions and comments as you grow as a surfer.
Surfing is life-changing. It is our lifestyle and we want to share that with you. Our goal is to create a positive surfing environment for every ability, age, and gender.
