You are welcome to join us for just one day although we highly recommend that the beginner surfer with a true desire to learn how to surf take the full two days. So what will you be learning? This clinic was designed with the beginner in mind - we welcome complete newbies as well as people who have tried surfing own there own for a while and still need help. We will walk you through all the basics to get you started and catching waves!

Participants will learn about ocean awareness, wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques, as well as and balancing.

Our instructors are all CPR/First-Aid and lifeguard certified, and ready to teach you the basics of surfing.
