One-on-One Waves: Private Surfing Lessons at New Smyrna Beach.
At New Smyrna Beach, Jimmy Lane Surfing Academy condenses focused skill work into a compact 75‑minute private lesson: a short beach session that primes technique, followed by an hour of in‑water coaching where the instructor concentrates solely on your wave time and progression.
