Itinerary and highlights
Private Surf Lessons are 1 on 1 instruction for ages 4 years of age or older.
(Ages 4yo-11yo may choose to tandem surf with the instructor)
1. We will meet at the end of the parking lot at the ocean by a small triangular beach. You can choose the best size water shirt and water shoes.
2. We will begin by doing a demo near the entrance of the water to help you feel comfortable with safety, paddling, pop ups on the board, and covering any questions you may have.
3. This will be followed by an hour of practicing your surfing skills. Our instructors will be helping tow you if you are struggling paddling by yourself. They will also be pushing you on waves and helping you get comfortable with catching the waves.
4. Once we paddle back to shore we will get all purchased photos/videos uploaded the same day and send an email by that evening for your lifetime memories!
You are guaranteed to catch a wave even if you ride on your stomach, however most people will catch multiple waves standing during their first beginner lesson.
