Private Lessons
Private lessons can be arranged for individuals or small groups seeking personal instruction. We will create an individual instruction program designed to meet your goals and skill level. Sports included are surfing, sailing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking, or stand up paddling. Take advantage of our low cost, excellent instruction and top quality equipment on your own schedule.
