More info / Meeting Location
For safety reasons we do not decide the lesson location until the night before the lesson
We generally meet in Carmel near the beach for lessons. If the waves in Carmel are too small we go to Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove
If the waves in Carmel are too big we go to Del Monte Beach off Casa Verde St.
If the waves are too big at Del Monte Beach we go to the Monterey Municipal Wharf off Figuroa St.
