Two Days on the Oregon Line: Private Surf Instruction at Cannon Beach.
On the broad, wind-swept shore of Cannon Beach, a two-day private or group-private lesson program escorts first-timers and progressing surfers from dry-land technique to guided wave time. Lessons are taught with a results-oriented method by instructors with deep local experience; each session runs two hours and includes board and wetsuit kit so you learn to surf without fuss.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Local teachers with long experience
Instruction is led by professionally trained coaches who emphasize safety and teach with a results-oriented method honed over more than 18 years of local teaching, so students leave with real skills rather than just a single-session thrill.
All-inclusive surf rentals
Lessons include surfboard, wetsuit, booties, and gloves, and students may keep the board until after the second day or extend the rental to return it by 4:00 PM on day two.
Safety-first coaching for every level
Programs welcome all ages and ability levels — from first-timers to intermediate and advanced surfers — with safety in the water named the top priority throughout dry-land training and ocean time.
What the day feels like
What two days on the beach actually feels like
Each lesson begins with a safety talk and dry-land training at Indian Beach or nearby shorelines, then moves into guided water time where instructors coach students through paddling, positioning and catching waves. The rhythm is deliberate: two hours of focused instruction each day, with equipment provided so you can concentrate on progress rather than logistics.
