Surf Lessons
Fall is here! This can be the best time of year for So Cal surfing. Beautiful weather, off shore winds, morning glass. The North Pacific is starting to wind up and the South Pacific is winding down sending peaky fun conditions up and down the beach breaks. The beach breaks and point break waves which San Clemente is famous for are uncrowded and now is the perfect time to get out there and learn to surf or brush up on you skills, so you will be ready to go out when the fast approaching winter season is here. Keep in mind most professional surf instruction costs $165+/hr We keep ours at $100 for a 2 hour lesson because me and my other instructors want you to learn, so we hope you will take a couple to give surfing a chance because we know it isn't easy to jump in and paddle out alone....
We are an experienced group of surf instructors with/ many years of teaching people to surf and now they are loving it. This is a great time of year to learn because it's less crowded, and the waves are really good. Whether you are have never been or just need some better surfing instruction, we have everything for your needs at great prices. You really need to book at least 2 hours your first time out, because it takes more than an hour to learn to surf, and then from there you can decided if you would like weekly lessons, or whatever works for your schedule and budget. We do one on one private lessons, and group lessons. We have a variety of boards that you can try out, from forgiving foam longboards for first time surfers to high performance longboards to help you cross step and ride the nose and shortboards to help out with your cutbacks and bottom turns. Now is the time to start surfing, and feel confident. Please contact me with any questions. Hope to see you in the water.
