Highlights

Participants will begin with a land-lesson to learn about ocean awareness, wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques, as well as riding waves and balancing. Then, students will move in to the water and start out in shallow areas riding the whitewater until they are comfortable with venturing further out. Our instructors are all CPR/First-Aid and lifeguard certified, and ready to teach you the basics of surfing. Participants can expect approximately 1:30-2 hours of water time in a 2.5 hour lesson

Great for first timer - Great instructors and equipment. The process and context was explained at length using sand maps almost like a Nat Geo documentary.

Do it - Lovely guys, great beach and solid gear. Loved it and the group was awesome too. You might need to hunt around the car park to find them at the same end as Taco Bell

Professional Vibe & Good Time! - I went out with Amy at 9am on Sunday. I'm have surfed for a year but am still very much a beginner. She was SO knowledgable and made the class very welcoming and engaging. She gave us so many tips and trips for safe paddle outs and it left us feeling equipped to surf on our own the next couple days! I'll def be going back for a round 2.

Caught waves and made friends - I took the 2-pack of beginner lessons. The instructors were great about teaching you how to surf and pop up and the ways of the water and surf culture to empower you and share the knowledge so you could come back on your own safely. They also encouraged us to stay in touch and were happy to stay connected so we could always ask questions. It was great all the gear was provided and we just had to show up. Got up a bunch with their help and feel confident going back on my own with some buddies I met taking the course.

Super fun! - My surfing instructor Gary was great and gave amazing tips to help with technique. Surfing is quite a work-out. I recommend it this class to anyone who wants to try out surfing and do it the right way. Pacifica was a great place to catch some amazing waves. The suits and boards were also amazing quality.
