About our Open Group lessons
(6-10+ people)
$100 per person
Our Open Group Lessons are designed for larger groups looking to enjoy a fun, safe, and structured introduction to surfing. With 6–10+ students and 2 dedicated instructors, this session provides the perfect balance of group energy and attentive coaching.
You’ll learn the essential basics—ocean safety, paddling technique, balance, the pop-up, and catching beginner-friendly waves—through a combination of group instruction and rotating one-on-one feedback.
Despite the larger format, our instructors ensure every student receives guidance and support at their own pace.
This lesson is ideal for school groups, corporate outings, celebrations, retreats, or anyone wanting to experience surfing together in a lively, shared setting.
