What do I need to bring? A towel, swim suit, sun screen, signed waiver and your payment.

What can I do or not do prior to my lesson? Take it easy. Do not go on a 10 mile bike ride. You will need your energy if you want to surf for more than an hour. Some people like to stretch before and/ or after Surfing.

Do I need to know how to swim? Yes. We will most likely not be water more then 3 or 4 deep, but you must have the swim basics down.

What age do I need to be? 5 and up.

Can we get photos? Yes. 

What do we do if it's raining? We surf in the rain. You're already wet and the rain warms the water and decreases the crowds. Wind is worse then rain; surfing in the rain is great.
The only bummer is getting in and out of your wetsuit. Do not surf right after the first big rain of the year.
