What To Expect

We will be meeting at Surfrider Beach, considered one of the most famous surfing beaches in the world. This is the perfect beach for first time surfers all the way up to experienced surfers. Surfrider beach is known for its gentle and long waves as well as its scenic beauty. Our fist 15-20 minutes will be a beach lesson on the sand where we will practice paddling, standing and surfing etiquette. Then out in the water to catch some waves. My goal is to have you catch and stand on as many waves as possible. You will have a blast!

Relax and enjoy the wave. Ric was an outstanding instructor. It’s obvious he knows what he’s doing. It was my first time on a surf board, Ric treated me as if we were surf pals from back in the day. I encourage anyone to set up an appointment with Ric if you want to learn or get better at surfing. I feel I received more than my monies worth with Ric.
Surfs up!

Ric was a great instructor. He was so patient, as our kids were surfing for the very first time. You could tell that he really enjoyed teaching them. My kids loved the experience, and cannot wait to do it again. He would be a great instructor for all age groups. Highly recommend!
