Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LESSON

High-touch instruction in compact groups

Lessons run with an unusually tight instructor-to-student ratio—one instructor for every three surfers—so expect individualized coaching even inside a group format.

THE GEAR

Boards and wetsuits included, brands you can trust

Surfclass supplies foamy boards and high-quality wetsuits, spring suits and rash guards from recognizable brands such as Patagonia®, Ripcurl® and Quiksilver®, and will size your wetsuit by asking for height and weight at booking.

THE ETHOS

A surf school that gives back

The operator directs a portion of sales toward environmental organizations, reflecting a stewardship approach to the ocean and beaches that host the lessons.

What the day feels like

What the two-hour session feels like

Over a compact two-hour window you’ll be kitted in a supplied wetsuit, briefed and coached by expert instructors working at a 1:3 ratio, then guided into practical, skill-focused time on foamy boards—everything aimed at getting students upright and improving technique within a single session.
