Testimonials

I had a 2 hr private lesson as a beginner. Seth was my instructor and he was fantastic. He was patient, full of information and helped me to improve end to end.I learned a ton about the mechanics of surfing and felt completely safe while out on the water. The business provides rash gaurds and booties and their boards were in good order. I highly recommend!

Surf Student

Excellent surf classes for beginners or intermediate surfers. We had people of various levels in our class, but everyone was taken care of by our instructors Peter and Hans. My wife and I had never surfed before and we were able to make rapid progress thanks to their advice and patience. We had a total blast. I also recommend purchasing the drone package. The video is really high quality and is good for both showing off to your friends and helping you see how you can improve for next time!

Things You Should Know

Surfing is a fun and exciting sport that has gained popularity all over the world. With the increase in popularity, there has also been an increase in the number of surf schools offering surf lessons for beginners. These lessons are designed to teach individuals the basics of surfing, including safety, technique, and equipment. In this article, we will look at what you can expect from a typical surf lesson and how you can get the most out of it.

The first thing you should know about surf lessons is that they are taught by our experienced and qualified instructors. Our instructors have the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure that you are safe while you are surfing and that you are learning the right techniques. They will also provide you with all of the equipment that you need, including a surfboard, wetsuit, and any other safety gear that is required.

The next thing you should expect from surf lessons is a focus on safety. Before you even get in the water, your instructor will go over important safety information, such as how to avoid hazards in the water and what to do in case of an emergency. They will also teach you how to properly handle your surfboard, including how to carry it and maneuver it in the water.

Once you have a solid understanding of the safety aspects of surfing, your instructor will teach you the technique. This will include things like how to paddle, how to position yourself on the board, and how to catch a wave. You will start off practicing these techniques on the beach and then progress to practicing them in the water.

Your instructor will also teach you about the different types of waves and how to determine which ones are suitable for surfing. They will show you how to read the ocean and choose the best spot to catch a wave. This will be a crucial aspect of your surfing journey, as it will help you to become more confident and independent when surfing on your own.

Finally, your surf lesson will likely conclude with a surfing session where you get to put all of the techniques and knowledge you have learned into practice. This will be a fun and exciting experience, and it will give you a taste of what it feels like to surf a wave. It will also be a great opportunity for you to receive feedback from your instructor, who can help you to improve your technique and make progress.

In conclusion, surf lessons are an excellent way to learn how to surf, regardless of whether you are a beginner or just looking to improve your skills. By choosing us, you can ensure that you receive a safe and enjoyable experience while also learning the skills you need to become a confident and competent surfer.
