Do I Need Surfing Experience for the SURF Program?
Not at all! Our SURF Program is designed for all skill levels, including complete beginners. The majority of our participants have never been on a surfboard before.
Each day, kids are grouped by ability within their small groups of 12, and our coaches tailor lessons and instruction to meet each group's needs, so whether your child is standing up for the first time or working on turning and wave selection, they'll get instruction at their level.
Surfboards are provided in a range of sizes from 5'6" to 9'. Intermediate and advanced surfers are welcome to bring their own boards.
