Beginner Surfer
You’re a beginner surfer! Maybe it’s your first time, or maybe you’ve surfed a few times before but haven’t begun turning, reading waves, or upgraded your board to a hardtop yet.
We’re here for you, every step of the way! You are welcome to join our beginner group lessons (max 4 students per coach), book a semi-private with a friend or partner, or take a private lesson for more personalized attention.
If you have any fears or trauma in the ocean, please let us know so we can tend to your needs and make sure you have a positive experience with us. We recommend private lessons for anyone who has some fear, so our coaches can be by your side every step of the way and help you come out of your lesson confident and ready to take on the world!
Please note everyday in the ocean is different. The oceans tides are connected to the moon phases, and swell (wave size) is dependent on a plethora of factors such as wind direction and speed. On bigger days, we stay in the front with our beginner surfers and catch the white water. On smaller days we head to the line up and catch unbroken green waves. The foundation of our beginner lessons is all about establishing confidence in the water, perfecting pop up technique, and honing in on balance. If you’ve never surfed before – or you’ve only surfed a handful of times, you don’t need big waves. Bigger waves = stronger current, and a need for proper strong paddle technique. We promise, you’ll get there one day if you stay consistent! But for now – let’s set you up with a strong foundation. Repetition is key, practice makes perfect!
