Welcome to
San Diego Surf Lessons
Our North County San Diego surf lesson is all about your experience!
“My instructor made it so easy and fun to get right up on the first wave and keep catching waves all morning! I built up my confidence and learned a few tips and tricks as he would give me advice between rides. Very laid back yet professional, I felt right at home and can’t wait to go surfing again!”
We teach our surf lessons in warm San Diego year round!

Good Gear makes a San Diego surf lesson successful
After you meet your instructor at our shop, we will begin your San Diego surf lesson experience! Once you’re suited up we’ll recommend an 8′ or 9′ longboard to be your faithful stead. For our first timers and beginners our soft top foamies from Stormblade are a perfect match. Their SSR model has enough volume and boyancy to help anyone stand up. If you’re an intermediate surfer interested in an epoxy or fiberglass board please mention that in your booking notes.
Which Beach will my San Diego Surf Lesson Take Place?
Welcome to North County San Diego! We love doing our surf lessons in Encinitas year round because of the mild water temperatures during the Winter, and 70+ degrees in the Spring and Summer!
Our San Diego surf lessons typically take place at Fletcher Cove, Swamis Beach, or Grandview Surf Beach.

Why Teach Lessons at 3 Locations?
The ocean can be unpredictable, so we offer multiple options depending on the time of year and the conditions that may present themselves. Both of these locations can be very forgiving and fun for beginners, but differences in tides, swell direction, and wind can determine where the best place will be to have our surf lesson on a given day.
We want all of our new clients to have the best experience possible surfing with us, so we always check conditions to see which place will be best for you and your lesson. Our San Diego Surf Lessons are guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Our Promise to You
- You will always be with an experienced surf instructor who truly loves what they are teaching.
- Safety will be first; fun is second, third, fourth, and fifth.
- In order to keep everyone safe we require that everyone surfing with us knows how to swim.
- One lesson will get you hooked as a surfer for life.
- Our San Diego surf lessons will give you memories for a lifetime.
