Acerca de este tour
Adult (Over 12+) $80 (Group Lessons)
*The price per person varies depending on the number of people.
Our experienced local instructors will guide you through the basics of surfing — from understanding ocean conditions and board safety to paddling, popping up, and riding waves. The lesson includes a land-based warm-up followed by hands-on instruction in the water. After the 90-minute lesson, you'll also enjoy up to 2 additional hours of board rental to practice on your own — included at no extra cost.
Come solo or bring friends — no experience needed, just a good attitude and a love for the ocean!
Joining with children? Please indicate in your booking request if there are children under 12, or teens who may need extra assistance (for example if they are very small for their age, not very strong or may require closer support from the instructor). This helps us plan the lesson safely and appropriately. All other participants are expected to be able to handle a full-size surfboard independently in the ocean.
