A Healthy, Outdoor Surf Adventure
Why chase the party when you can ride the surf? This week long surfari will give you the opportunity to hone your water skills while living the California dream. Top notch instructors and equipment will have you surfing in style through your best vacation ever. This popular all-inclusive overnight surf camp is an exciting alternative to the traditional “boozy” vacation long associated with spring or summer breaks.  It runs for six days and five nights every week between the months of June thru October, and includes120 hours in all with ten 2-hour supervised group surfing lessons.

The Perfect Location
The surf camp is located at the north end of South Carlsbad State Beach Campgrounds in San Diego County, and occupies a secure, fenced quarter acre of prime oceanfront property. The surf training facility is perched on a bluff overlooking a sandy beach with beginner, improving, and expert friendly waves. The spectacular natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean, beginner friendly waves and smooth, sandy, level ocean bottom of South Carlsbad State Beach, lack of grouchy locals, yummy food, and fun out-of-the-water activities combine to make your surf camp learning experience enjoyable and memorable.

The Longest Ride
Start the ride that can last a lifetime. Let surfing connect you and your friends as you share in the stoke of riding waves. Get ready to learn a lifelong skill that is as much of an art as a sport.

About Our Instructors
The adult surf instructors are enthusiastic, safety-certified water men and women.
