About our Surf Camp
Surfing is truly a one of a kind sport, bringing a huge rush to everyone that tries it. We’d love to introduce you and your kids to that rush. We’ve been teaching for nearly two decades and look forward to seeing you at our summer surf camp. While most of our private surf lessons are taught just south of Santa Barbara we chose to run our surf camp right below the Ritz Carlton on Haskell’s Beach. This is a great location for a surf camp as it’s a bit closer to downtown and there aren’t near as many people in the water as other beaches. We have additional equipment onsite in the beach house such as boogie boards and kayaks / paddle boards for those flatter days. We also have outdoor showers and bathrooms right onsite.
Location:
You’ll meet us at the Beach House on Haskell’s Beach in Goleta just below the Ritz Carlton
Camp Details
Santa Barbara Surf Camp is a 3 hour summer surf camp from 9:00am to 12:00pm or 1:00pm to 4:00pm. My own kids always blow me away with the amount of energy they have but 3 hours is enough to even wear out the most energetic groms. We keep our instructor to student ratio at 3:1. This camp is perfect for those kids that are looking to get a lot of surf in and be focused on mainly surf. Typical longer camps can’t focus on surf the entire time as you can only paddle for so long before you’re exhausted so beach games are added in. If you’re looking for a longer surf camp there are plenty of great ones in town and we have a few that we’ll recommend. If you’re looking for a shorter surf centric surf camp Santa Barbara Surf School is the write place for your kids.
