Outing Highlights
Individualized coaching
Lessons are structured around focused, personalized instruction: a coach works directly with you for an hour to develop stance, timing and wave selection before you take the practice time on your own.
Soft-board solo practice
Every private session includes thirty minutes of solo practice on a provided soft surfboard (and wetsuit when needed), letting you consolidate coaching cues in safer, forgiving conditions.
Scalable lesson sizes
Private formats scale from true one-on-one lessons up to small-group configurations with multiple coaches — a flexible setup whether you want exclusive attention or to share instruction with friends.

What the session feels like
A private lesson is concise and deliberate: an hour of targeted coaching on the sand and in the surf, then a thirty-minute window to apply what you’ve learned with a soft board and wetsuit. The pacing—drills, wave selection, timed practice—keeps progression tight and immediate.
