Surfing can be easy to learn when you choose the right location, conditions, equipment, and instruction. Once you’re hooked, surfing becomes a lifelong passion that allows you to take sessions at home as well as travel domestically or abroad.
This on-land class covers wave knowledge, choosing your surf spot, etiquette, equipment, surfing technique, safety, and surfer responsibility. By the end of this 1.5-hour class, students will know how to choose an appropriate surf spot, paddle and pop up for their first rides.
With these foundational skills in place, your first ocean sessions will be smoother, safer, and a whole lot more fun.
Ages 6–11 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian enrolled in Surfing 101.
