LEARN TO SURF
Club Ed Instructors (464-0177)
Join the excellent staff of Club Ed Surf School and learn what you need to know to ride the waves! We’ll cover: equipment, ocean safety, wave formation, rip currents, and surfing etiquette, proper paddling techniques, wave positioning, and how to stand up and ride waves in one smooth motion. We spend most of the time in the water learning to surf, so a good wetsuit is needed. Wetsuits and surfboards can be rented for $15 each, and booties for $4/pair.
