    Safety was an issue. I got pounded against the rocks pretty badly and ended up with a big bruise and some scratches but it could have ended much worse. The instructor and his assistant weren’t always paying attention or telling us where to swim back out. They also spent virtually no time covering safety before we went on the water. The assistant, in particular, spent all of his time with one young guy who was the best in our group and paid little attention to anyone or anything else. After I got myself off the rocks and rejoined the group, the assistant openly scolded me in front of others, instead of checking whether I had a concussion or needed help. The vibe was also off. Throughout the entire experience, we were treated like tourist dingbats, the assistant kept mispronouncing my name and visibly didn’t listen half the time.

    San Franciso trip was so unexpected, yet so needed. I knew i will surf in pacific and booked lesson with Adventure out. In full honesty it his was my best surf lesson ever( had some experience in Bali, Normandie and Madeira) but nothing compared to the lesson with instructor Gerry! I learned how to allow myself to surrender to imperfection and feel the ocean, water and the surfboard. Gerry’s patience, life wisdom, advice gave the tools to immerse in your he ocean and be! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

    Soren and Chase were great teachers and made my first surf experience killer . They didn’t overwhelm me with too many details and stayed close by the whole time . Anyone on the fence should definitely go for it !

    What to expect

    This clinic was designed with the beginner in mind – we welcome complete newbies as well as people who have tried surfing on their own for a while and still need help. We will walk you through all the basics to get you started and catching waves! Participants will begin with a land-lesson to learn about ocean awareness, wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques, as well as riding waves and balancing. Then, students will move in to the water and start out in shallow areas riding the whitewater until they are comfortable with venturing further out. Our instructors are all CPR/First-Aid and lifeguard certified, and ready to teach you the basics of surfing. Participants can expect approximately 1:30-2 hours of water time in a 2.5 hour lesson – the start of the class does have some “setup” time built-in to get people suited up and down on to the beach, and the land lesson can take about 30 minutes. We provide a safe and non-threatening environment for the beginning surfer! Come have fun learning how to surf and explore the wonders of the ocean with our experienced guides!
