Surf Levels

What is my surfing level?
Start where you are, not where you think you should be
FAQs
Still confused? We've got you!
Happens all the time. We'll figure it out day one and move you to the right group. Better to start lower and move up than struggle in the wrong level. No ego here - just getting you surfing better.
Depends on you. Some people nail Level 1 in a week and jump to Level 2. Others surf Level 2 for months before moving up. It's not a race. Most people need at least 2-3 weeks per level to really lock it in.
Nope. Guiding is for Level 3 and 4 only - surfers who don't need coaching and just want to find the best waves. If you're Level 2, stick with coaching. You'll progress way faster with feedback.
Surf School is a 3-day intensive for complete beginners - we teach ocean safety, pop-ups, and get you riding whitewater. Level 1 starts where Surf School ends - you're already standing up and ready for green waves. If you've never surfed, do Surf School first.
Not at all. We've got boards for every level. Level 3 and 4 surfers often bring their own, but we have shortboards and step-ups if you need them.
If you're crushing it or struggling, we'll move you. Usually takes a day or two to assess. Your coach will recommend when you're ready. The goal is progress, not proving anything to anyone.
