We take teaching surfing seriously, while also making sure to have the most fun in the water. You’ll leave our classes with a solid basic understanding of surfing and the rules of the water. Our instructors are all CPR certified for your safety, so you can rest assure your training won’t be dangerous. So come learn, come laugh and come love surfing with us!
