Lessons can be tailored for beginner to advanced surfers and include booties to protect your feet, long-sleeved rash guards and surfboards. A typical beginner lesson starts with a 10-15 minute session on the beach, where you'll learn how to paddle, stand up, stay up, and be safe in the water. Once you're in the ocean, Zack will be at your side to help you catch waves and provide instruction every step of the way. Payment is due at the end of each lesson by cash or check.

In a private lesson, you can focus on specific skills to help your surfing improve dramatically. Work on catching bigger wave, executing turns and gaining more confidence on your board.
