After the classroom segment, instructors lead students to the beach to practice paddling, positioning and standing techniques, then provide hands-on coaching during the water session.

AMENITIES

All Gear and Beach Perks Included

MOKU provides all necessary equipment (long-sleeve 50 UPF rashguard, board, leash, wax), a safe space for belongings, use of showers and parking, beach umbrella and chair, plus 20% off the surf shop.

What a Private Lesson Feels Like
