At your lesson start time you’ll meet your instructor at our surf truck to get your wetsuit and surfboard. We’ll jump over to the sand for some on beach instruction and surfing basics before entering the water. When we finish the beach portion of the lesson we’ll jump in the water and help you catch waves while giving you hands on coaching.

In summer when the waves are smaller we surf 20 minutes south of Santa Barbara for group surf lessons. South of Santa Barbara will be slightly bigger and more fun – around the fun 2 – 3 foot range. The islands directly in front of Santa Barbara tend to shield most of the surf during summer, but waves sneak through 20 minutes south of us. There are great beginner surf breaks down south with nice rolling waves to learn on.

We would be pumped to get you in the water! So sign up for a private or group surf lesson while visiting Santa Barbara and we’ll show you a great time!

“Thank you for the great service in helping us plan a surf lesson for our 9 year old daughter. Our instructor Nathan was awesome and fun! He knew just how to make this lesson a special memory for our daughter. He was patient and relaxed and made her feel really comfortable learning to surf. I would highly recommend this team.”
