Learn the foundation of surfing with our beginner surf lessons! We teach the importance of ocean safety, how to identify rip currents and how to read ocean conditions. Every lesson starts with a warm up with some surf specific stretches and practice rounds learning the technique to stand up on the board. After that it’s into the ocean to learn how to paddle properly and catch your first wave! There is over an hour of hands on practice in the water. Surfboard and leash are provided. These classes are taught at no more than 1 instructor per 5 students.
