- Florida 399 - A typical lesson will include 1.5 hours of instruction and board rental. We will begin with a group introduction followed by a current conditions / marine life report. I will go over water safety and etiquette then we will begin stretching. Land class includes instruction of proper prone position, paddling technique, the “pop up”, and proper stance. Depending on conditions, I will decide the length of instruction regarding “paddling out.” (duck diving, log roll, nose dives, etc). I will assist each surfer with line-up placement and push them into waves if needed. All ages are welcome!

Awesome People, Great Lesson! - Super awesome people and very informative lesson. Everyone I talked to was very pleasant and accommodating from the jump. I had to reschedule the lesson a couple of times, and Braden, Malachi, and AJ were all very easy to interact with. Once I finally got to the lesson, Malachi helped me to learn exactly what to do in order to be better at surfing in a calm and comfortable manner. 10/10 solid experience, would recommend to my family and friends!

Do this! You won’t regret it! - It was a great experience! I was a little worried about safety etc but those concerns soon disappeared once we got in the water. They were knowledgeable & patient- I think we got tired and quit before they did! Kai and the guys that came to back him up were GREAT! Would’ve liked to hang out with all day! Great experience! Would definitely do it again.

kids learned to surf - I was vacationing on the beach with my family and wanted something memorable to do with my 3 kids. Learning to surf was amazing and so much fun; all 3 kids got up on the surf boards and had a great time. The pictures and videos were the highlight of the whole trip. Braden our instructor was very patient and super knowledgeable you could tell he loved what he does. I highly recommend!

A C is a great instructor - AC was a great instructor. He kept a positive and encouraging attitude the whole time. I'm 40 and my son is 13, so if he can get us up surfing, he can do it for anyone.

Best instructor ever! This guy is really able to transmit his experience surfing. - It was fantastic, I have never surfed before. However the instructions were really accurate, after 4 attempts the fifth I was able to stand on the table and finish the wave jumping to the sand, it was amazing!!!
Thank you so much for the experience!
