What you need to bringWater can be cold. Now that summers here we can get away without wetsuits but if you get cold easy I recommend renting one. I have all the boards necessary for any skill type All you need to bring is a towel, swimwear and a water bottle is recommended. I have face sunscreen designed for surfing Rash guard can be provided, but not necessary. I personally wear a regular t-shirt in the water when I’m surfing in boardshorts and want to prevent rashes.

What I can bring8’0 foam board 6’0 foam board Variety of fiberglass short boards, (intermediate coaching sessions only) A few sizes of wetsuits available (working on increasing my inventory to include all sizes soon!)

    That lesson with Tyler was pretty good, honestly. The vibe was relaxed and I enjoyed surfing more than I expected. I’d say the focus on improving surfing technique was quite helpful, and I look forward to working on it further in future lessons. Still, I think a bit more guidance on specific movements might make a difference, but overall, I felt like I gained some confidence, which isn't always easy. If you're into laid-back lessons that aim to build skills, Tyler's probably a solid pick.

    Getting in the water during my lesson with Tyler was pretty chill, and I really appreciated the focus on just getting comfortable on the board since that's where I need to improve, mainly standing up more confidently. Still, I felt quite helped by that, and I think with some more practice, I'll get there. Though I wish I’d been a bit more confident earlier on, I enjoyed the laid-back vibe and clear instructions Tyler offered. Definitely a good experience for anyone trying to build up that first wave feeling.

    Tyler’s coaching style feels more like learning from a friend than a typical lesson, and honestly, that helps me stay relaxed. Though I think advancing my proficiency would really bring the lesson to life, especially with Tyler’s approach to coaching and teaching in mind. Still, I appreciate the straightforward, pressure-free atmosphere, and I think with more practice I’ll be able to push my comfort zone further. Definitely worth trying if you're looking to improve your surfing in a natural, easy-going way.

    Had an amazing time at my surfing lesson! The instructor was super friendly, patient, and really knew how to break things down for a beginner like me. I felt safe the entire time and actually caught a few waves! The vibe was relaxed but encouraging, and the experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn or improve their surf skills!

    I really enjoyed getting out in the water and just having a fun time with Tyler. The relaxed vibe made it easy to enjoy every moment without stressing about skills. If you want a lesson that’s all about good times and learning at your own pace, this is a great choice. Definitely recommend giving Tyler’s lessons a try! ✌️🌊
