About this Experience
What you'll do:
It’s not just a surf lesson—it’s a true day-in-the-life of a surfer! You’ll be welcomed like family, just as if you were going out for a surf with Uncle Micah. Start your day downtown by trying on wetsuits and picking out your board from a wide selection of longboards, mid-lengths, foamies, and even short boards for advanced surfers. Then, head out to one of Santa Barbara’s best surf breaks for a comprehensive lesson that’s tailored to your experience and surf style. As the waves roll in, you’ll not only learn the techniques but also immerse yourself in the authentic surf lifestyle that sparks passion for many guests. Afterward, the day often wraps up with a little town tour, including a stop at a beautiful overlook for that perfect photo-op and a few extra good vibes.
