Group Lessons

Try surfing and get hooked! Our co-ed lessons offer 3 hours on quality surf instruction and lots of water time to practice. We offer a Day 1 course as well as a follow up Day 2 to build on your skills with a maximum student to instructor ratio of 5:1

**Must be 12 years and up and have basic swim skills

**Each lesson includes wetsuit and surfboard for the duration of the lesson

DAY 1- “The Basics” – We start on land with some theory to cover the basics; equipment usage and care, ocean safety, surf etiquette and pop up technique. Then we head into the water to practice!

DAY 2 – “The Next Step” – We start on land and cover the more technical aspects of wave riding and give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to begin the transition into riding “green waves”. You’ll learn how to paddle out, the theory of riding green waves and how to read the conditions to score the best waves. The prerequisite of this course is that you have taken a beginner lesson from us recently.
