COMMON QUESTIONS
What should I bring?
Just yourself! We supply wetsuits and boards for all lessons. Bring a swimsuit to wear under the wetsuit, a towel, sunscreen, and plenty of stoke.
When are lessons held?
Lesson times are set by the tides — they change daily. We always schedule sessions when conditions are optimal for your level. Call ahead or book online to get the right time for you.
I'm not a great swimmer — can I still learn?
Absolutely. You don't need to be Michael Phelps. We start in shallow white-water, teach ocean safety first, and progress at a pace that makes you feel completely comfortable.
Do you offer surf lessons in winter?
Yes — 362 days a year! Winter is actually great because the South Easter wind drops and offshore conditions are frequent. We have full-thickness wetsuits to keep you warm.
What's the minimum age?
We teach kids from age 5. There's no maximum age — the oldest student we've had is well into their 70s!
