All our lessons start with a quick demonstration …
All our lessons start with a quick demonstration by our instructor to show you which waves to catch and how to maneuver your board safely in the water.
Now it’s time for you to get active by learning the different paddle technics and your pop-ups after our 4 step secret recipe. No worries, we will keep the introduction on the sand short and simple.
You will have the most time in the water to practice your techniques. In the water, our instructor will be going around to each student individually. Our instructors will always be close by for any questions or help in the water.
Surf
Small student to teacher ratios
Our small student to teacher ratio, typically of 5:1, gives you lots of personalised attention, and the most time in the water.
How do we get to the beach?
From the office you will be driving your own vehicle to and meeting your surf instructor at the Maltby Road parking lot. It is about a 9 minute drive from the office. Please get changed into your wetsuit at the Maltby Road parking lot as soon as you arrive. If your suit is too loose or too tight please contact the office 1-250-522-0189 and your Instructor will bring you the corrected size. Look for the yellow Tofino Surf School van it will be pulling into the Maltby parking lot 10 minutes prior to your lesson time.
