Oceanside visitors take surf lessons because it is a great thing to learn and do at beach resorts. A family can take surf lessons together starting with kids at 6 years old.
It is not necessary to be a great swimmer because lessons are taught in waist deep water for adults and very close to shore for kids. Soft top boards are used because they are easy to handle and easier to surf in foam waves.
Learning the Fundamentals
Everyone learns the fundamentals so they can practice on their own after a lesson. Packages are available if someone wants to do it every day or wants coaching to improve faster. Each lesson takes surfers further than they would progress on their own.

Adults Have a Great Time
