Frequently Asked Questions
No. It is completely free.
No. From the very young to the young at heart, we welcome all ages.
You are certainly welcome to bring a board. But you do not need one. We offer a variety of soft-top surfboards for all to use.
Pack anything you would need to go to the beach: sunscreen, towel, water and a snack. We recommend a rashguard (stretchy nylon sun shirt). If you’re just hanging out, bring a beach chair, umbrella, and your phone or camera to take photos and video to share on social media.
Expert surf instructors are available. The average number of years our instructors have been surfing is 30 years.
Safety is our main concern. If the conditions are too dangerous we will not go in the water. Updates about the conditions or weather can be found on our facebook page. All activities while at the beach are done at your own risk.
Yes and no. The best way not to drown is to learn how to swim. We do not offer swimming lessons. However, if you don’t know how to swim, we recommend buying a personal floatation device or “life jacket”.
No. You are certainly welcome to be a part of the experience. In fact we encourage it. But you are not required to get in the water. Our instructors are perfectly happy working with your child to get them comfortable in the water and on a surfboard.
