Itinerary
Get ready to catch some waves with our beginner-friendly surf lessons! Our small group classes ensure personalized attention with a minimum of three and a maximum of six people. Safety is our top priority, and we'll teach you the fundamentals and structure of surfing before you hit the waves. You'll start with dry land training to build your confidence, and then move on to surfing gentle breaking waves that are 1-3 feet tall. Our 3:1 guest to instructor ratio ensures that you receive plenty of attention from our experienced surf instructors.
We provide everything you need to get started, including a soft top surfboard that's easy to paddle and forgiving in the surf. You'll be surfing in chest-deep water or less, so swimming and treading water are required. Please wear a tight-fitting swimsuit and bring reef-safe sunscreen, any necessary medications, and motion sickness pills or wristbands if you're prone to seasickness. Join us for an unforgettable experience in the beautiful ocean waves!

We saw the good reviews and booked this for our four kiddos as a surprise. It seemed great at first but then as he was putting the kids in the water my oldest legally blind daughter was cheering on her sister and telling her how to paddle with her arms and the guy was making hand motions for her to be quiet, so I told her to be quiet and tried to explain to him that she couldn’t see his hand motions so she didn’t know he was asking her to not teach. He proceeded to put my kids in the water then turned to argue with me after they couldn’t hear. Saying didn’t I see he sent my son out to go paddle to my other daughter, I said yeah and once again just tried to explain my visually impaired daughter couldn’t see him signaling with his hands to be quiet, but that I had passed it on, that I understand he didn’t want her coaching (which I could respect) but she just couldn’t see him signaling when to stop. He for the second time said “if she wants to take a lesson she can tell them how it’s done” further shoving it in my 17 year olds face that she could not be out there taking a surf lesson because she can’t see. When I tried to defend her and says he can’t take a lesson because she can’t see he then asked “who’s blind” as if I was the problem, zero tact in this scenario. I would never expect someone to just know, she didn’t have her cane and was using me to sight guide but when I corrected him he got worse and insulting. Totally embarrassed her and made her feel less than. Then he proceeded to paddle out to my children and according to them essentially trash talk me. Then during the lesson taught 2/4 kids and left the other two to float in the water with his wife saying they said they were too tired. I did two stars because 2/4 kids had a nice time, while the other two did not enjoy it and shut down as soon as he came out talking poorly about me. Not to mention he managed to insult my 17 year old who was not even taking lessons. If I truly left what I’d felt I’d give 0 stars but like I said I want to give small amount of credit that two of my kids did get a decent lesson, but if your kids are naturally athletic maybe don’t bother because my two were told they were not advanced enough. Sadly the two that got left out were also my two adopted black kids, hope that was purely coincidental and not a racist move but I’ll leave you to determine that.

Jace was a great instructor. My goal to stand and surf at least once was realized 😳 He watches your form, and helps correct on the fly to help get you surfing. He seems very knowledgeable and was very friendly with just the right amount of push to get you out of your own way. The lesson was amazing and highly recommended.

The last time I surfed was 7 years ago, so I was a little afraid, but my instructor showed me how to get back on the board safely and was with me all the time.

With Jared’s encouragement, positivity, and experience, I was able to actually ride some waves during my first surfing lesson at age 59! I had such a great time and credit Jared for my successful and fun experience!
