Great Beginner Surf lesson OBX/Kitty Hawk
Anne R,Jun 19, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00Great for someone who wants to try surfing for the first time, and do something fun. Some swimming experienced required, beginner friendly, Bit pricey for one hour and 1/2 but all good. Fin is a great instructor very friendly, the assistant instructors are good as well, they assist everybody and make sure they were able to try and ride the waves. Henry is a good kid, he is gonna be an awesome instructor someday. 5 star for instructors four star for overall review because of communication and dis- organization aside from that if you missed where the group meeting will be, chances are low to get the lesson of the day, and you may not able to get a refund. the phone has no voicemail. and chat reply via viator app takes a while. so before booking call them and make sure you get a proper communication line, there also an option to pay later.
Amazing instructor and lesson!

5.00My oldest, age 14, took a lesson during spring break and has found a new passion! Clark, the instructor, went above and beyond to introduce surfing and spent extra time with him alone, explaining everything and giving him hands on help! He was encouraging and did amazing explaining things! I definitely recommend this school for surf lessons for all ages. And, again, Clark was amazing! I only wish I had had more cash on hand to tip him!!
Great Surf Lesson!
