About
Come and learn to surf with Kokopelli Surf Camp. You will be taught how to surf by one of our professional surfers with 10-plus years of surfing experience, CPR and First Aid certifications, and full knowledge of ocean safety.
We begin each lesson with water safety, surfing etiquette, and a stretch to guarantee a fun and safe lesson. After warming up, we demonstrate the proper way to paddle and stand up on the surfboard, allowing the student(s) to practice on the beach before moving to the ocean. We then take the lesson to the water where our surf instructor works closely with the student giving a helping hand and step-by-step directions. Guaranteed that the student is riding waves during their first lesson!
