Welcome to Surf School Santa Cruz, the best-rated surf school on the West Coast! We accept students of all ages and skill levels and guarantee a quality, safe, and fun experience for those wanting to learn to surf in California. Our surf school was created out of our passion for surfing and our desire to share it with the world. We believe that surfing is not just a sport but actually therapy for life. We ardently advocate that the only thing better than a great day of surfing is fueling someone else’s passion or helping them improve skill sets that work in the ocean and carry over to day-to-day life.
Our instructors are professionals who tailor each lesson to the students, so no matter your ability, you are encouraged and supported in the most personalized way possible. The cumulative years of surfing and teaching experience we have under our belts allow us to provide you with the best surf lessons in all of Santa Cruz — perhaps the best surf lessons in all of California!
Pleasure Point has always been our home base, and it offers an unparalleled learning environment. We are excited to also offer surf lessons at Cowell’s Beach. An additional location increases our versatility and gives both our instructors and students more options to improve the overall learning experience.
