Overview

Not many people imagine Texas to have beautiful beaches, much less waves to surf! This activity is unique because it allows travelers to learn how to surf in Texas, where the waves are warm, mellow, and great for beginners.

Learn to surf is a life-changing experience! You will see and feel the ocean like you have never before.

    What To Expect

    Experience the ocean like never before! We'll start our lesson on the shore, where I'll go over basic ocean safety information. We'll then practice some techniques such as popping up and balancing before making our way to the water. Once in the ocean we'll start our lesson in waist-high water, where you can feel comfortable learning to paddle into waves and standing up. We'll do this for about an hour, resting whenever you might need a break. If you have some surfing experience before this lesson, we may also paddle out to deeper water, where we will work on riding down the line and turning the board.
