Surf Lessons
For beginners and beyond — ages five to seniors. Our lessons are designed to give you the time, practice, and coaching you need to truly learn how to surf. Our instructors start by explaining the mechanics of surfing, followed by balance-board practice on dry land. Finally, once each student has 1:1 time with the instructor, we’ll start catching (small) waves.
Includes:
Surfboard
Wetsuit
Balance-board training
