Private lessons are usually held in Bolinas, sometimes in Stinson. We always want to provide the best experience for our clients and are open to going where the waves take us!

All camps take place in Bolinas.

Pacific Coast Surf Lesson instructors are CPR and first aid certified. They have extensive knowledge of surfing and the ocean.
