Before you arrive

What to bring, and what we handle

Bring a swimsuit, a towel, water, sunscreen and a windbreaker for the drive home. We supply the board, paddle, leash and a wetsuit when the water is cold.

Beginner lessons run on flat water at Agua Hedionda Lagoon or in Mission Bay, where there's no shorebreak to manage. Surf lessons run in North County — the exact beach depends on the swell that morning, and we'll text you the meeting point the day before.

Reschedules are free with 24 hours' notice. If conditions turn unsafe we'll move the session and never charge you for weather.
