Longboard Lessons

Surfing can also look like dancing.

Beginner – Advanced

Not Your Average Shortboard


Surfing a longboard is a different technique than riding a shortboard — and a fun one to learn, since you can ride it year-round, even on tiny 1-2 foot waves. A longboard measures nine feet or longer, giving you better floatation, more room to move, and much better stability while you learn.

What Happens In A Lesson


Practicing on the surf simulator

Learn to Walk the Board

Balance and footwork practice on our surf simulator — a key part of learning longboard, before you ever paddle out.

Coaching in the water

Coached by Our Team

Guided in the water by Victor, our founder, or one of our other professional longboard instructors — one wave at a time.

Learning to longboard takes more than one session — that’s why lessons are priced to reward you for coming back.

“Would highly recommend Victor for absolute beginners or experienced surfers looking to improve specific parts of their surfing. My surfing has improved so much — he’s good at explaining things, knows a lot, and really cares.”
