Do I need to know how to swim?

You don’t need to be an expert swimmer to start surfing, but having basic swimming skills can be helpful for your comfort and safety. We’ll always be close to shore and ensure you're supported throughout the lesson. Our main focus is to help you feel confident in the water and enjoy the experience!

​

How many lessons do I need to go out on my own?

After one lesson, you’ll have a solid grasp of the basic fundamentals and mindset needed for surfing. It’s a great introduction to the sport, but you won’t be ready to go out on your own just yet. After about 3 lessons, you'll not only know how to pop up but also understand surf etiquette so you can avoid any unwanted attention from other surfers. You'll gain the skills to paddle, catch your own waves, and confidently make your way out to the lineup. This will set you up for a safe and enjoyable experience when you're ready to surf solo!

​

Why should I choose Crispy J's?

With years of coaching and a deep love for the ocean, we make sure every session is fun, safe, and tailored to you!

​

Where do we meet?

We will meet at 3300 Ocean Front Walk and head down Santa Barbara Place to grab the boards and wetsuits and head to the water from there! This is 4 blocks north of the Belmont park rollercoaster! Parking might be hard on the street, if you find parking by the address, great! If not, there is the Belmont park free parking and you can just walk down from there!
