Frequently Asked

Surf Lesson FAQ

Where do surf lessons meet in Pismo Beach?
All lessons meet 100 feet south of the Pismo Beach Pier. Look out for the All Day Surf sign!
Do I need any surfing experience?
No experience required. Most of our students are first-timers. Pismo Beach has soft, beginner-friendly waves that make it one of the best places in California to learn to surf.
What's included in a surf lesson?
Board, wetsuit, and instruction from a CPR and First Aid certified coach. Just bring a swimsuit, towel, and water — we cover the rest.
What ages can take surf lessons?
All ages are welcome. We regularly teach kids as young as 5 and adults well into their 70s. Our coaches tailor each session to the surfer.
How long are private and group lessons?
Private lessons are 1 hour, one-on-one with your coach. Group lessons are 1.5 hours with 2–5 surfers per instructor.
Do you offer lessons outside of Pismo Beach?
Yes! While Pismo Beach is our home base, we teach at Shell Beach, Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria, and the Gaviota Coast. Contact us to arrange a session at your preferred spot.
