Beginner Surf Lesson
Learn the fundamentals and get your surf legs warmed up in the white water.
Service Description
Our beginner class is perfect for anyone ready to learn the fundamentals of surfing, or refresh the basics in a supportive, fun environment. First we will practice our technique on land. Then we’ll take you to the whitewater, where you’ll build confidence catching waves, popping up, and understanding the ocean from the ground up. Come ready to learn, laugh, and get your first real feel of the wave! If you’re unsure of your level, just reach out. We’re happy to guide you toward the right class. Important: Class times shown in the calendar a few days in advance are approximate. Your exact class time will be confirmed minimum 14 hours before the class time. No cancellations are permitted after 12 hours before the class.

Cafecito Surf – Lesson Booking Policy 1. Class Schedule & Time Adjustments Our weekly surf schedule is forecasted based on tides, swell, and weather, and updated regularly. Exact class times remain subject to small shifts for optimal conditions. You will be notified by email of any shifts in class schedule. Exact class time will be set no later than 14 hours before the class time, leaving 2 hours between confirmation time and cancellation cut off of 12 hours. Example: If a class is forecasted for 6:00 AM Tuesday, it may remain at 6:00, or shift (e.g. to 6:30 AM or 7:00 AM) up until 2 hours before the cancellation cut-off, which is 12 hours before class. In this example: exact time may adjust until 4:00 PM Monday. If the time shift affects your ability to attend, you may still cancel without penalty by 6:00 PM Monday. 2. Cancellation Policy Cancellations are allowed up to 12 hours before the confirmed class start time. Cancellations made within 12 hours are non-refundable, as instructors and equipment are pre-assigned. 3.
