Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience?

No! Our lessons are perfect for complete beginners. We'll teach you everything from scratch, and most students stand up on their first day.

What should I bring?

Just bring a towel, swimsuit, and sunscreen (reef-safe preferred). We provide all surfing equipment, rash guards, and water.

What's the best time for lessons?

Early morning (6-9 AM) typically has the best conditions - calmer winds, smaller crowds, and cleaner waves. We also offer afternoon sessions.

What if the weather is bad?

Safety first! If conditions aren't safe, we'll reschedule your lesson for another day at no extra charge. We monitor weather closely.

Can kids take lessons?

Yes! We welcome kids ages 5 and up. Our instructors are experienced working with children and make it safe, fun, and educational.
