FAQs
How do I get the most out of my surf lesson?
Talk to your instructors before, or during the lesson about what you want to accomplish, experience, goals, and progress.
How do I prevent sunburn?
Apply generous amounts of sunblock before arriving at the beach. Pack a HAT. Use a surf-specific sunscreen (such as Zinka) on the cheeks, nose, and face (as needed). You may also purchase sunscreen from AQUA SURF (upon arrival) click here for details.
What else do I need to know?
We recommend secure swimsuits that hug your body. Swimsuits that will hold up against the elements are strongly advised.
Should I arrive early, and is there traffic?
We suggest arriving 15minutes early so you can fully prepare for your lesson. Traffic is unpredictable, and on hot summer days (especially weekends) you can count on beach/freeway/parking traffic. We usually book lessons back-to-back, so if you are late it will shorten your surfing time. If you are parking, there is a two-hour and an all-day beach parking lot. Both parking lots have machines that accept credit cards.
Do I need to tip surf instructors?
Gratuity for surf lessons is customary, but not required.
