Learn to surf with Olympic Surfing Coach
Experience hosted by Robert
3 hours
Includes equipment
Up to 2 people
Hosted in English, Spanish
What you'll do
When we arrive at the break, you will have a few minutes to check out the beach while I'm preparing the equipment. I will introduce myself, discuss my qualifications and confirm that you are comfortable with the surfing conditions.
Beginner lesson includes:
30 minutes beach orientation
90 minutes in water surfing
Equipment (appropriate board, leash & rash guard)
Gentle, beginner friendly wave
Before jumping in the water, we will spend 20-30 minutes on the beach learning and practicing the techniques you will be using. We will cover the basics of paddling, popping up and controlling the board. You will learn about the local breaks, the current conditions, channels, ocean safety and proper surfing etiquette.
Now it's time for a major adrenaline rush! We will paddle out to the lineup, using chest lifts and "turtle rolls" to pass the white water. I will be with you in the water, assisting with paddling and providing an extra push to help you catch the wave. I encourage my students to practice wave selection and timing, while providing feedback throughout the lesson. My goal is for students to catch waves and to be one step closer to surfing independently.
Other things to note
Surfing is for every body - it's challenging, humbling and satisfying! My most successful students are enthusiastic and open to learn.

Roberts surf lesson was amazing! He did a great job of teaching us surfing basics and my partner and I got up on plenty of waves with his help. The session was definitely a work out, so be prepared to put in the work in order to ride some waves. The oyster stand near the beach after the lesson was and added bonus.

This was an amazing experience. It wasn't like the other surfing instructions I've had where the instructor just pushes you into the wave. Robert makes you paddle and actually learn. I feel like a few more times out there and I would know how to surf. Great experience will call Robert again when I'm back!

Una experiencia ESPECTACULAR! Robert is not only a great coach but an awesome person. So much fun hanging out with him. He made sure we felt comfortable and safe before getting in the water and hitting the waves. My 13 y/o son had the best time. We all did. I would definitely recommend this experience with Robert to anyone looking for surf lessons. GREAT TIME! Muchas gracias Robert.
