THE LEGACY

Florida’s longest‑running surf camp

Since 1984 Surf Station has run the surf camp at Crescent Beach, making instruction here a decades‑deep program rather than a one‑off clinic—an appeal for travelers seeking proven coaching.

THE INSTRUCTION

Expert, hands‑on coaching for beginners and improvers

The camp is staffed by experienced instructors who guide participants through technique and timing so you can progress from paddling to standing in a single session.

THE PACKAGE

Lesson, board rental and a camp T‑shirt included

Each camp includes the lesson itself, board rental for the session, and a Surf Station T‑shirt upon completion—practical inclusions that simplify a day on the water.

What the day feels like

What a day at Surf Station feels like

Whether you sign up for the three‑hour half‑day or the full‑day session, the camp moves from orientation and dryland balance drills to guided practice in waist‑to‑shoulder swells, with instructors assisting paddling, takeoffs and standing until you catch your first controlled rides.
