Operated by Surf with Candice LLC · St. Augustine, Florida
On Florida’s northeastern coast, just south of the historic heart of St. Augustine, Surf with Candice LLC delivers an electric gateway to the waves. St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest continuously occupied European settlement, offers sandy beaches, warm Atlantic waters, and consistent surf perfect for beginners and families alike. Here, the Atlantic ridge forms rolling, approachable waves that suit first-timers and intermediate surfers, making it an ideal place to catch your very first ride.
Surf with Candice's signature offering, the Two Hour Group Surf Lesson for Five, blends personalized instruction with the energy of a tight-knit group. Whether you’re gathering with friends, family, or celebrating a special occasion, this hands-on lesson brings you into the center of the surf scene with a professional coach guiding five surfers simultaneously. Their focus on technique, safety, and surf culture — including a quick dive into essential surf lingo — sets the stage for both excitement and skill-building.
Participants can expect top-tier boards tailored to their size and comfort, along with warming stretches and safety tips that keep the session smooth from paddling out to riding your first wave. Unique to this experience is the option to capture your progression with professional photos and videos, providing lasting proof of your breakthrough moments.
St. Augustine’s surf scene is shaped by warm Gulf Stream currents and the nearby Matanzas River estuary, creating a diverse marine ecosystem with curious dolphins and pelicans often spotted offshore. Its rich coastal history and accessible breakpoints add layers of texture to every wave caught here.
