Good to know

What is usually included with a surfboard rental?

Most shops include the surfboard, leash, and a block of wax with standard daily or hourly rentals. Wetsuits or rash guards are sometimes included, but some locations charge a small extra fee for neoprene gear depending on the water temperature.

Do I need prior experience to book a group surf lesson?

No, beginner group lessons are designed for first-time surfers and typically cover land-based safety, popping up, and basic ocean awareness before getting into the water. Instructors stay in waist-deep water to assist students with catching soft-top waves.

How much do surf lessons and board rentals typically cost?

Daily board rentals often range from $25 to $50 depending on the board type, while group lessons typically cost between $75 and $150 per person for a two-hour session. Private lessons or specialized SUP tours generally cost more.
