What to expect

Itinerary

This clinic was designed with the beginner in mind – we welcome complete newbies as well as people who have tried surfing on their own for a while and still need help. We will walk you through all the basics to get you started and catching waves! Participants will begin with a land-lesson to learn about ocean awareness, wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques, as well as riding waves and balancing. Then, students will move in to the water and start out in shallow areas riding the whitewater until they are comfortable with venturing further out. Our instructors are all CPR/First-Aid and lifeguard certified, and ready to teach you the basics of surfing. Participants can expect approximately 1:30-2 hours of water time in a 2.5 hour lesson – the start of the class does have some “setup” time built-in to get people suited up and down on to the beach, and the land lesson can take about 30 minutes. We provide a safe and non-threatening environment for the beginning surfer! Come have fun learning how to surf and explore the wonders of the ocean with our experienced guides!

I recently took four days of surf lessons from this group and had an exceptional experience. Every interaction that I had with AO was top-notch. As I was researching and comparing different programs, I immediately noticed how well designed the webpage was. The class overviews and scheduling a...

Perfect site for beginner lesson. Wetsuits kept us plenty warm and our instructor, Chad, was awesome- making sure everyone caught some waves. His assistant, Deanna was super helpful too. I didn’t want to do my first surgery lesson at 61 but my daughter wanted to and I’m so glad I did. Beautifu...

Huge kudos and thanks to instructor, Jess, for going above and beyond. I booked my nephew (visiting from the UK) on to a beginner surf lesson. On the day, the lesson had to move due to surf, so I got a call that morning from Jess to let me know, but my nephew was a) car-less and b) without a ph...
