What to Expect

All surfing and SUP lessons start on the sand with ocean awareness and safety. Then we get you right into the surf for a rush of wind and waves. Once in the water, we show you how to read the waves, position your take off, and the etiquette of wave riding.

Our guides will get you in position for the best possible waves of the day. Next, the guide will give your board a gentle push to allow you and your board to match the speed of the wave. You've now caught the wave, and all there is left to do is stand up and enjoy the glide.


Semi-Private Lesson

If you want a lesson with just friends or family choose Semi-Private and jump into the fun in a group surf session — meant for just two to three people. This custom experience is perfectly suited to your group’s abilities. You must book at least 2 surfers for this lesson. We do not group together people from different parties, so it will just be you, your friends, and the surf instructor.


Private Surf or SUP Lesson

Looking for a 1:1 ratio? No problem! All of our surfing and SUP lessons are private with just you, or you and your friends/family and the instructor. We do not mix groups of strangers. Choose the private surf lessons and have one-on-one instruction from your assigned guide. You will have the instructors full attention as you learn to surf.
