South End Surf 'N Paddle is a Long Beach, New Jersey water-sports provider offering surf lessons, stand-up paddleboard (SUP) tours, rentals, and multi-day kids camps in Beach Haven and on Barnegat Bay. The operation runs age-specific camps—Lil Grom (ages 6–10), Bayview Park Watersports Camp (ages 9–14), and Big Grom Surf Camp (ages 11–16)—that combine skill instruction, ocean safety, and team-building in small-group settings.
Instructors include CPR-certified staff and experienced surf coaches who lead private 90-minute surf lessons, private paddleboard lessons, and group surf sessions. Private options provide personalized attention with a 1:1 instructor ratio available for private surf lessons. SUP offerings range from calm-water yoga classes on Barnegat Bay to 2-hour Beach Haven Stand-Up Paddle Board EcoTours that explore local coves and wildlife.
Equipment services include a selection of surfboard rentals — from soft-tops to hard boards — with reservation and delivery options to simplify on-water plans. Sunset Paddle Board Experiences and family-friendly tours offer scenic bay paddles at dusk, suitable for a wide range of skill levels.
South End Surf 'N Paddle focuses on accessible, instructional, and safety-minded programming for kids and adults. All programs emphasize hands-on coaching, safe bay conditions for beginners, and flexible options for families planning lessons, rentals, or multi-day camps in the Long Beach and Beach Haven area.
