Surfing Lessons

Surfari offers surf lessons 7 days per week in San Diego, CA and Daytona Beach, FL.

Lessons are designed for all ages and abilities.

Lesson times:

9AM, 11AM, 1PM and 3PM

Equipment included:  Lessons include use of a surfboard, wetsuit, rash guard, and leash.

Duration: All lessons last for 2.5 hours and include the following three part lesson plan:

Part 1-Land Lesson/ 30 minutes:  Lessons start on the beach with thirty minutes of instruction and practice.   Students learn techniques for paddling, standing, falling, dodging and selecting waves along with surfer's etiquette, stretching and much more.

Part 2-Water Lesson/1 hour: After students have learned the techniques on land, we move into the ocean for one hour of guided surf instruction.  During this time the instructor will push and coach students into waves, tell students what they are doing right, or wrong so they are surfing on their own by the end of the lesson. 

Part 3-Independent Practice/ 1hour: 

After 1.5 hours of guided instruction, students have the option of keeping the surfboard and practicing what they learned for one hour in front of the lifeguard or returning the equipment back to the shop.
