About
This option is like the private lesson, but with a few extra perks. The length has been extended to 3 hours instead of 2. Students will ride multiple boards during their lesson and will receive priority during scheduling (certain time windows each day are more likely to produce quality waves). Students will have the option of having drone video taken of them surfing towards the end of the lesson (depending on availability and weather conditions).
Advanced instruction for surfers who want to take the next step. Expert-level boards and personalized instruction.
