Billabong Girl’s Surf Camps By Mike Murphy In June the Padre Island Surf Camp (PISC) held the first of three girls only surf camps scheduled this summer. The PISC provides personal attention with a knowledgeable staff that helps campers have an enjoyable learning experience. Padre Island Surf Camps…..keepin’ the stoke Josh Harper and Rob Pruett co-founded the PISC three years ago. Josh lives in California and manages the Billabong Camps programs internationally. Rob Pruett manages the surf camps here in Corpus Christi. All PISC surf camps are held on the beach adjacent to the seawall at the city parking lot off of Windward Drive. Scott Gasiorowski, a long-time local resident and high school teacher, is currently the program director of operations on the beach. Other PISC instructors for the girl’s surf camp included Chris Stolley with past surf camp experience; Josh Perez, Justin Brown, Levi Fannin and Mi-
ing Jacey as she successfully learned to paddle herself into the surf, catch a wave and stand up while riding the wave to the shore. Jacey enjoyed her first day of surfing and would like to try it again or maybe try windsurfing.

Dana Shia and daughter Anna, age 8, both shared the surfing experience at the girl’s camp. The Shia’s live on the Island and Anna’s dad also surfs. Anna met a new friend Brynn, age 7, who is visiting from McAllen. They had a great time riding waves standing up with their instructor helping them catch the waves with a push.
