A private surf lesson gives you your instructor's full attention for the whole session, for $140 per person.

Who Private Lessons Are Best For

  • Nervous beginners who want someone right beside them.
  • Short trips where you want to progress as quickly as possible.
  • Returning surfers working on a specific skill such as timing, turning toward the wave or paddling.
  • Anyone who wants a flexible pace without waiting for a group.

Private Lessons for Couples, Families and Intermediates

  • Couples: private pricing is per person, so two people can share a private session with focused attention.
  • Families: a private lesson gives a child or nervous parent extra support — see family lessons.
  • Intermediate surfers: work on paddling out, positioning and green waves — see intermediate surfing in Jaco.

Lesson Structure

  1. Location chosen for the day's conditions
  2. Safety briefing and pop-up practice

What Makes It Different
