PRIVATE SURF LESSONS & PACKAGES

Get a thorough and personalized introduction to surfing with your own instructor in our Private lessons. Ages 5 and up. There is no more effective way to learn to surf than by having the undivided attention of a professional instructor to guide you through the pitfalls and get you up and riding your own waves. You’re pretty much guaranteed to get up on your first lesson. Or, for a more thorough introduction to surfing, our Private Surf Lesson Packages might be more suited to your needs. In successive lessons, our students learn how to turn, how to read and select waves, techniques to paddle out through the break, how to best maneuver the board, timing, ettiquite, tides and other factors affecting wave quality, and more. In general, most people get a solid basic intro in a 3 lesson pakage, and are able to consistently catch waves and stand on their own. In a 5 lesson package, most are able to turn fairly consistently after catching a wave. After a 7 lesson package, many are able to identify a rideable open-face wave, and have moderate success at maneuvering themselves into position to catch it. Let us help you take your surfing to the next level!

 

We book the surf lessons to fit your schedule, and all equipment is provided. Lessons are provided in all locations. Surf lessons are 1 hour and 45 minutes long and include all the equipment.

STAND UP PADDLE BOARD

If you’d like to take a mellow cruise down the coast on a stand up paddle board, maybe trail a pod of dolphins for a while and catch a few waves along the way, then try a Stand Up Paddle Board Lesson with us! Stand Up Paddle Surfing (SUP) has its origins in Hawaii, is more equipment intensive but more mellow than conventional surfing. It is also a great core workout. Our stand up paddle boards are very stable and great to learn on. All the equipment is included in the lesson – stand up paddle surfboard, wetsuit and stand up paddle. In your first stand up paddle lesson, you can expect to get an orientation on shore covering SUP basics: how to get up, where to position yourself on the board, proper paddle technique, turning, and how to paddle past the break. In subsequent lessons, depending on your skill level, we cover more advanced maneuvers including actually catching waves on a stand up paddle board!
