Surf Lesson FAQ

Group Surf Lessons are a fun and effective way to learn to surf. Bring your friends or make new friends as you take on the challenge of learning to surf. Group lessons are open to all ages and all levels and we group you accordingly. Safety is priority and our teaching methods are proven to get you up on a surfboard faster than you imagined.

Group Surf lessons are two hours and cover all of the basics. First on the beach you will learn about the surfboard, how to paddle, pop up, safely go under waves, reading and anticipating waves along with surf etiquette. Then we all hit the waves. Our instructors are with you the entire time, helping you every step of the way, constantly giving tips, making adjustments, and providing invaluable feedback. Not to mention, your own personal cheering squad!

Group surf lessons include all equipment necessary: soft surfboards to insure your safety, wetsuits and rash guards. What you need to bring is a swimsuit, beach towel and sunscreen. You should arrive 15 minutes early to sign in and gear up. Group surf lessons vary in class size depending on the time of year. Spring and Fall can be lighter with Summer being the busiest season. We maintain at least a five to one student to instructor ratio regardless of class size.

Our group lessons are offered weekends from Spring and Fall. Saturdays are Women Only surf days. Sundays are coed and open to all. Group surf lesson are $60 for a single class. Group lessons are offered in Santa Monica only.

If you select a series of lessons, you do not have to schedule consecutive weekends. You are free to make your own schedule as it fits your lifestyle, including trying different locations. You can schedule on-line (the easiest way) or by mail or fax.
