Semi-private surf lessons offer the best of both worlds. You receive personalized attention, detailed feedback, and tailored instruction from your instructor, similar to a private surf lesson.

This setup can often make learning faster, more enjoyable, and more inspiring.
In a semi-private surf lesson, a pair of students share one instructor. After a brief on-land training session, you and your partner will head out to the water.

Typically, the surfing partners in a semi-private lesson are determined by the students themselves. We advise choosing a partner who’s around your skill level for the best learning experience.
