PRIVATE SURF LESSONS ARE THE BEST WAY TO LEARN HOW TO SURF OR IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS.

Every surfer is different and our private surf lessons are catered to each student’s abilities and preferences. We take the time to get to know you before the lesson, and then customize every aspect to you.

First time surfing? We’ll set you up with a nice, big soft top board and a long rolling wave to give you plenty of time to stand up.

Been surfing for years but can’t quite land your first air reverse? No worries, we’ll find a punchy beach break to get the reps you need with expert instruction.

We find the right wave, board, and lesson structure to make sure you get the most out of your surf lesson.

We have private surf lessons for all ages and abilities.

We offer private surf lessons in several locations around San Diego including: EncinitasSolana BeachDel Marand Carlsbad.
