Surfguiding from Beginners to Pro's
You're An Absolute Beginner:
You can join our guided surf sessions and go for it with the help of your guide. But we highly recommend to take the Beginner-Class for $199. You learn the fundamentals of surfing from the first step in the "white water" to your first green wave within 3 days!
You're Already A Surfer :
Join the Surf guides! Guaranteed great fun from Orange County to San Diego and Los Angeles. From the 2 Star Surfer to a 5 Star surfer we bring you to the right place at the right time daily.
What Is Surf Guiding?
Surfguides are not teachers. You're not joining a class where you have to do, what your teachers say. Our guides will bring you to great Surfspots within our reach. They provide an "on the spot" introduction to the break and will lead a brief warmup. The guides are there to offer advice, answer questions, and essentially make sure you, as the guest, are catching waves and having the best time possible while maintaing safety in and out of the water.
How does a typical Day look like.
The Guide picks you up between 06:30 and 10:00 and you drive to the Surf spot: 1 to 2 hours of surfing. The Guide brings you back to the Camp, so by noon you are ready for lunch (unless otherwise you are on one of our scheduled "day trips" Between 14:00 and 15:00 the Guide picks you up for a second Surf Session. Your back around 17:00 for some relaxation, yoga, dinner, socializing, sleep and do it all over again

We'll provide not only the transportation, but make sure you get instant access at some of the worlds greatest bars and nightclubs. Ask and we'll get you there... Just be sure to set that alarm clock in your room for the next days surf!
- City Tours :
As much as we love surfing we also understand you've come a very long way and deserve to see it all. So we suggest taking a day or 2 off the waves to go see the sights with the other guests. Your guide can even help you to pick the best day..maybe a small wave day to get out and see places you've only witnessed on television. We make sure to include in our daytrip schedules for the week, "cultural city and coastal tours" with your surf guides. Tour guides are boring. Surf guides are not!
