Surfing will enhance your life and we want to pass on our love and stoke for the sport to you.

Our goal is to provide the highest quality instruction to people of all ages for a positive surfing experience. At the heart of our teaching philosophy is our commitment to the individual and we make sure that every student gets personal attention and instruction. Our surfing instructor training, and the equipment we use, better allows beginners to catch and ride waves. Our typical lesson season runs from Spring in March through Fall and the end of October as these months have the most user friendly and predictable ocean conditions.

All instruction will start with a beach lesson, followed by further instruction in the water. All surf students will receive top-level equipment: soft boards designed specifically for teaching and to keep you warm and comfortable in the water, XCEL 4/3mm wetsuits and booties. Our proven teaching methods and specifically designed soft surfboards will make your day a fun and memorable one.

You will learn from the best professional instructors who are all licensed and insured, CPR and First Aid certified with 20 years of experience teaching people how to surf.  We teach ocean safety, wave dynamics, paddling, surfboard control, correct body positioning, riding techniques and general water awareness.

Surf equipment (surfboard, wetsuit and boots) will be available to rent from 2 Mile Surf Shop for your lesson and can be paid for in advance on our schedule when booking the lesson spots or just pay when you arrive at the shop. Rental equipment can be kept for 3 hours of use or the entire day.

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your lesson to sign waivers and get suited up. To be courteous to instructors and other students and to ensure safety - lessons will be canceled if student arrives more than 20 minutes late to a Private Lesson or a Group Class.

Private Surf Lessons:

Our Private lessons offer 1-on-1 instruction and emphasize safety and fun, but we also take the next step and teach our students to view the ocean with a surfer’s eye so they can safely and confidently ride waves on their own. Our professional surf instructors have taught thousands of students and can assess and address bad techniques so students can improve and move forward on their surfing path.

Private Lessons can be scheduled for individuals or up to 16 people with family members, friends or co-workers. Private lessons are offered year round (weather permitting) and can be scheduled for any time during the week or on the weekend.

Private Lessons last 1 1/2 hours and the cost is $150 for the first person and $50 for each additional person. Surf equipment (board, suit, and boots) will be available to rent from 2 Mile Surf Shop for your lesson and can be paid for in advance on our schedule when booking the lesson spots or just pay when you arrive at the shop.

When scheduling a private surf lesson for more than one person, you will need to reserve and pay for everyone that will be attending. This will ensure that we have the correct number of boards, suits and instructors reserved for your lesson. Groups larger than 6 should call or email for scheduling.
