Our private one on one surf lesson in Santa Barbara is the perfect introduction for beginners. A private lesson is also a great way to progress your surfing skills if you have experience. We will begin with beach safety, how to position yourself on the board, paddling, pop up techniques, and proper stance before we head into the water. The instructor will be with you throughout the lesson ensuring you’re in the right spot to paddle in with a bit of an assist from us.

Surfing is always more fun with a friend. A two-person surf lesson in Santa Barbara is great for friends, couples, or family members to create a lasting memory. Interested in learning to surf or wishing to progress your skills, this is your chance. Having a companion in the water during your surf lesson allows you to share the stoke and provides you the chance to share waves together!

We have found that an hour and a half is the sweet spot. Typically we spend a little time getting into our suits and then going over surf techniques on the beach before hitting the waves. This leaves us with a solid hour of wave riding. It’s enough time to catch plenty of waves and also leave you thoroughly tired. We’re more than happy to extend our lessons though so be sure to let us know if you’d like us to go longer when making your reservation.
Where to meet?
Once booked we’ll send over your surf location and driving directions. We often teach 20 minutes south of Santa Barbara because the waves in town are close to “un-surfable” a majority of the year. Whereas, the surf down south tends to be much more ideal for a quality surf lesson experience! That being said, if there’s any surf at all in town your lesson will be scheduled in town. In order for us to provide a 5 star experience there’s a chance you’ll be having a Carpinteria or Ventura surf lesson depending on the behavior of the waves during your trip.
Surf conditions are changing on a daily basis, which is why we make it our business to insure you’re catching the best waves in the area on any given day. Our experienced staff is always keeping their eyes on wave heights and wind patterns and will be able to inform you which location we will be meeting you at when you call to make a reservation. We have a few of our favorite spots listed on our ‘Surf Locations’ page.
What’s included?
We will provide the board, leash, wetsuit, and the instructor for 90 minutes. All you need to do is show up with your bathing suit.
