SURF Lessons
Just as no two waves are the same, the same thing is true with students.
Wether you never have been in the ocean but have dreams of riding your first wave, or a surfer looking to sharpen their skills, we have you covered. Our professional teachers can tailor their instruction to meet your personal needs.
Each surf lesson is 90minutes in duration. In that time the first 20 or so min consist of beach instruction. You will be educated on ocean safety, proper pop up techniques as well as safe handling of the surfboard. Once in the water the instructor will be by your side every step of the way. The instructors goals is to physically push you into the right wave allowing you to only focus on popping up. It’s that simple!
