F.A.QIs it safe? back to top
Safety is our #1 priority. Our Surf Instructors/Specialists have years of surf/ocean experience under their belt, and are CPR/First-Aid certified. So, you can feel comfortable knowing that you are in the hands of highly skilled people. Plus, we are proud to offer our unique ratio of 2 to 5; whereas other surf schools have general ratios of 1 to 8 or higher! Do I need equipment? back to top

Surf board rentals are included in the package price. We have wetsuits available to rent at a minimal fee, or if you prefer to purchase your own wetsuit/booties, we can accompany you and get you fitted appropriately according to weather and ocean conditions.

Your instructor may be flexible, however, lost time may not be made up. We highly recommend you show up to your scheduled session on time. My child has special needs. How would surfing be beneficial? back to top
Surfing provides excellent sensory stimulation for children with special needs. We work on Gross Motor Skills, and Motor Planning (concentrating on both upper and lower extremities), including balance. Surfing also provides cardiovascular conditioning, and the opportunity to increase muscle tone. We also work on cognitive stimulation such as focusing and task completion. Surfing also provides opportunities for social interaction; therefore, promoting speech and language development. It is also a wonderful way to increase self-esteem, self-efficacy, and to boost confidence levels. My child loves the water, but is not a strong swimmer. Is it still safe for my child to learn how to surf? back to top
We have life vests that we can provide for your child. Our Surf Instructors have extensive experience in water safety and assessing ocean conditions, and they are all CPR/First-Aid Certified. We are camped near beach lifeguard stations/towers, and we usually surf fairly close to shore in waist-high to chest-high waters. We also offer tandem surfing, so that the child/adolescent is actually surfing on the board with an instructor. We would HIGHLY recommend enrolling in one of our 1 to 1 ratio programs.
