Beginner Surf Lesson
We schedule all of our surf lessons according to the tide to make sure our clients will have ideal conditions while learning to surf.
Our beginner surf lessons are held at mid tide so that you will be able to touch the sandy bottom the entire time.
During this lesson you will learn everything from water safety to ocean awareness as well as the proper mechanics to “pop up” to your feet.
You also will learn how to spot rip currents, understand how they are formed, and most importantly how to get out of them!

- Knowing the parts of the board
- Discovering how to maneuver your board through the waves safely
- Learning how to catch the white water
- Being able to get up to your feet and surf
All classes run 2 hours where you will be working on creating good muscle memory while using proper mechanics getting up to your feet and surfing into the beach.
Beginner/Intermediate Lessons
You’ve mastered the techniques of getting up to your feet and you’re ready to paddle to the outside to start catching unbroken waves.
Here we go! All of our intermediate surf lessons are held at high tide either at Dominicalito, Hermosa, or Dominical beach all depending on the swell conditions that day.
Don’t have wheels?
Don’t worry we include transportation from our home base to all of our intermediate surf lessons.

In these sessions, you will learn how to paddle out beyond the breakers, sit on your board, learn how to choose a wave, spin your board then catch and ride down the face of the wave.
We will teach you how to make the drop, turn your surfboard, trim across the face of the wave, and pump your board to gain speed when needed.
You will also learn surfer etiquette and how to dismount off of your surfboard safely. With a few beginner/intermediate lessons you will be ready to surf on your own in no time.
We have plenty of surfboards to choose from and we will assign you with the proper board for your skill level and size.
