This is a small group lesson with a ratio of 4 students to 1 instructor. Once arriving at the beach, all surfers will be sized up for gear with a foam top surfboard, reef walker surf shoes to protect your feet, and a SPF surf shirt to protect against sunburn and surf rash. After getting outfitted with gear a hands-on demonstration will take place covering all the fundamentals of surfing, including proper technique and etiquette, the pop-up method, and a detailed onshore and in the water safety briefing. All lessons are 2 hours total. Children 12 and under usually require more one-on-one attention and will automatically be a private lesson with their own individual instructor for safety.
