What to Know & Frequently Asked Questions
Are costumes required?
Yes – It’s a Halloween Surf celebration, we highly encourage everyone to dress up!
What is your student to instructor ratio?
At Aqua Surf, we stand out with our Premier Ratio Initiative, ensuring our students get the individual attention they deserve. Our expertly trained beach captains dynamically adjust ocean ratios based on surf conditions, safety measures, and the maturity and experience of the group (Learn More). This approach not only elevates safety but also optimizes one-on-one instruction in the water, thanks to our high number of skilled instructors.
Participants are treated like valued members of our AQUA SURF family — deserving of Healthy Encouragement, Dedicated Attention, and Safe Environments.
You can Reserve Your Dates online now.
How competitive is the contest?
This event is about fun — not a serious competition. Our instructors can help surfers of all levels, so even if younger kids can join and have a great time in the waves!
Can I use my existing surf camp 1/2 day credits?
Yes, you can use the same credits for Saturday half days as for Summer and Spring break camps. We like to keep it simple 🤙
What is the parking situation?
If you are just dropping off or picking up your surfer, tell the gate attendant (if they are there) and they will let you enter the lot without paying. If you stay, we recommend paying the attendant or kiosk.
