Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prepare for my lesson?
To prepare for your private surf lesson, arrive hydrated and well-rested. Bring a swimsuit, apply sunscreen, and bring a towel.
Is there on-site parking?
We do not have on-site parking, however we do validate parking for 2 hours in the Promenade underground parking garage. Otherwise you can find street parking in the neighborhood east of Mission Blvd.
Should I tip my instructor?
If your instructor did a good job and you had fun, definitely feel free to tip your instructor! They’ll certainly appreciate it. You can tip them cash or on a debit/credit card at the shop. Many instructors also take venmo, zelle and cashapp tips as well.
Do I need to know how to swim?
It is not necessary to know how to swim, but it is VERY HIGHLY recommended. Most lessons take place in water that isn’t over chest high, so you will be able to touch the ocean floor. However you WILL get fully submerged in the ocean at some point. It’s almost guaranteed. So while it’s not necessary to swim you should be comfortable being tossed around in the water.
Is there somewhere I can store my belongings?
Yes, we have cabinets and lockers where you can store your things. Feel free to bring your own lock for the lockers if you'd feel more comfortable/secure that way.
