You will meet us at the only true brick and mortar surf school in Laguna Beach. We have dedicated guest parking, bathroom/changing room, and best of all... a warm shower for after the lesson. We teach at Thalia St, Laguna's best location for beginner waves. Our 1.5 hour lessons allow you ample time to learn paddle out, wave judgment, etiquette, and pop-up techniques. Our instructors are experienced professionals who pride themselves on getting you up, and keeping you safe.
