Overview

Surfing can be the most incredible experiences. Surfing takes practice, patience, and will leave you with a better appreciation for the ocean.

You will meet me down at the beach where I will have the surfboard, leash, and a wetsuit to keep you nice and warm!

After going over safety precautions and etiquette about being a beginner surfer, we will begin teaching you proper paddling technique, the pop-up, as well as how to reach the lineup. Once we have gone over the basics on the beach and we practice a couple times on the sand, we are ready to hit the water!

I will be with you the entire time, not surfing like so many other instructors do these days. I want your time to be spent truly learning how to surf and not just struggling while I get paid to have fun!

I begin my lessons helping new students get into waves to practice their pop-up, giving critique when needed. After a few good practice waves, I usually start "helping" less and less, not pushing you into waves as hard.

What To Expect

Surfing is one of the purest ways to feel connected to the ocean, but it can be quite a challenge! With over 5 years of experience teaching surf lessons, we are certain that you will leave the lesson with a smile on your face.

We will teach the basics of surfing; how to paddle out to the lineup, how to position yourself in the lineup, how to catch waves and stand up, and potentially; how to ride along the face of the wave!

Surfing can be challenging, but if you come into the experience with a determined mindset and you put the effort into it, you are sure to succeed!

Additional Info

  • Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
  • We require that every participant knows how to swim
  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Surf Lesson in North San Diego?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
