Experience the stoke of riding waves!

Knowing how to control your surfboard in the ocean, especially in breaking waves, is essential for safety. We’ll show you specific ways of handling your board in the surf to keep yourself and those around you safe.

No matter how long you’ve been surfing, there is always more to learn. The ocean is an ever-changing environment, and it’s crucial to maintain awareness of your surroundings. During our surf lessons, we’ll discuss rip currents, side-shore currents, and how wind and tide affect breaking waves.

Efficient and strong paddling is the foundational skill essential for catching waves. We'll refine your prone position and paddle technique to establish a solid foundation, preparing you for the conditioning needed to catch waves independently!

We’ll begin by pointing out waves as they approach, getting you in position, and assisting you in catching them. As you get more comfortable and confident, we’ll back off from physical assists and talk you into waves. This is when you'll experience the timing and positioning needed to catch waves. Our goal through these surf lessons is for you to be able to catch waves by yourself or at least know what to practice to do so.

Efficient paddling and good timing are the keys to catching waves. From there, you’ll “pop up” to your feet and ride the wave - yewww! We’ll maximize your wave count so you get plenty of practice jumping to the correct stance and surfing waves! As appropriate, we’ll also introduce directional surfing, aka surfing “down the line.”

Everyone learns differently, and that's why our surf coaching is tailored to your unique needs. This is a judgment-free zone - we are here for you! With real-time feedback specific to your circumstances, we will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the ocean safely, and the skills you need to practice to become a better surfer. No matter what, FUN is guaranteed!
