VB Surf Sessions is a Virginia Beach-based surf and paddle sports company that runs lessons, camps, guided tours, private events, and equipment rentals on Croatan Beach, Rudee Inlet, and nearby waterways. The company offers multi-day surf camps (five-day and three-day), single-day programs, drop-in sessions, private lessons, and specialized instruction such as SUP surf and stand up paddleboard guided tours. Rentals include softtop and performance surfboards, stand up paddleboards, kayaks, tandem kayaks, bodyboards, skimboards, wetsuits, and beach cruisers for visitors seeking gear on site.
Instruction emphasizes safety, small instructor-to-student ratios, and progressive skill development tailored to all levels from beginners to experienced riders. Seasonal offerings run during peak months and select private lessons and rentals are available year-round; several guided paddling tours operate April through September and highlight local wildlife including dolphins and bald eagles. Private events and group bookings provide customizable half-day surf camps for birthdays, weddings, corporate team-building, and other large gatherings.

The business provides gear, local surf knowledge, and guided nature excursions to help guests connect with the ocean and coastal ecosystems. Third-party listings, tourism guides, and local partners list VB Surf Sessions as a resource for surf instruction, SUP tours, kayak dolphin tours, and beach equipment rentals in Virginia Beach.
