Focused Instruction with Personalized Feedback

With only 2-4 students per instructor, our semi-private lessons offer significantly more individual attention than standard group classes. Your certified surf instructor can focus on your specific needs, correcting technique in real-time and providing personalized tips for faster progression.

Our comprehensive 2-hour format provides ample time to master surfing fundamentals without feeling rushed. The extended session includes thorough land-based instruction, multiple water practice rounds, and time to build confidence with each wave. This longer duration allows for proper warm-up, skill development, and the opportunity to catch numerous waves while receiving ongoing coaching throughout your session.

Premium Surf Equipment and Ideal Locations

All equipment is regularly maintained and sized appropriately for each student. Our instructors select the best surf spots based on daily conditions, ensuring you learn in safe, beginner-friendly waves with sandy bottoms and consistent breaks perfect for skill development.
