You’re right, there are. But you get what you pay for. We started this surf school after years and years of working for other schools. Some of them aren’t truthful about what they provide, including + not limited to number of provided instructors, instructor “professional” certifications, equipment, and more. 

We teach real knowledge about the ocean and how waves break your very first lesson. We teach you how to spot corners, peaks, shoulders, and open faces waves. We teach you what NOT to do and what kinds of waves not to catch. We put you on a surfboard that fits YOU and your body + athletic type. We properly disinfect and dry our wetsuits after each use, and make sure they’re free of holes, tears, and thinning. We also cater your lesson to the best conditions around that day.

We hire intelligent, personable, experienced teachers, and make sure they’re trained my way. After that, each instructor combines my training with their own specific style of teaching. Oh, and we pay our instructors the highest and most fair rate in California.

Also: UNLIKE MOST SURF SCHOOLS, WE PAY THE CITY A PERCENTAGE OF EVERY LESSON AS PER OUR PERMITTING!

We decided to run this school primarily because we want to teach surfing the right way. We don’t just teach you to surf, we teach you how to BECOME a surfer, and what joining the surf community entails. Check our reviews! We’ve almost never had a bad lesson because of our work and care.
