Overview

There is no better experience than sharing the magic of the ocean with your loved ones! We’ve designed this private lesson as the ultimate family memory, focusing on a safe, joyful environment where you all progress together. Our licensed instructors are fully dedicated to your group, often bringing an assistant into the water for children (ages 7+) to ensure they stay safe and catch plenty of waves.

Depending on the surf forecast and your group size, we may suggest an additional instructor to keep everyone feeling confident and secure. It’s a truly tailored adventure that moves at your family’s pace, ensuring everyone leaves with a smile!

Note: Minimum 3 participants. Children under 7 are welcome but require their own dedicated 1-on-1 instructor.

What To Expect

Escape the busy tourist tracks as we head to a hidden "gem" surf spot for a peaceful and focused session away from the crowds. Your adventure begins at our shop, just 100 meters from the shore, where you can change and store your valuables. We believe in maximizing your time, so you’ll enjoy a full 2-hour experience starting the moment we reach the sand. This includes a dynamic warm-up and beach theory followed by plenty of time in the water.

Our coaching is completely personalized to your skill level. If you are a beginner, your instructor will use flippers to help stabilize your board and give you the perfect push into the waves. For intermediate surfers, your instructor will surf right alongside you, providing real-time tips to refine your technique as you catch waves together. After a light post-surf stretch, we’ll head back to the shop where you can enjoy a quick rinse to freshen up before your next adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Family Surf Lesson?

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

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
