Review your chosen lesson’s inclusions, meeting point and participation requirements before booking.
Before your lesson
Do I need to be able to swim?
The provided lesson guidance requires students to know how to swim and be comfortable in the water. Check the chosen company’s age and participation requirements before booking.
Which coast is best for my lesson?
The right location depends on ocean conditions, your experience and where you are staying. Your instructor assesses the lesson beach; coast-wide surf forecasts are planning information.
What is included and what should I bring?
Equipment, rashguards, transport, lesson length and other inclusions vary by company. Follow your selected operator’s confirmation for your meeting point, packing list and check-in time.
