Salt Shore is a small surf school on the south coast — soft-top boards, patient instructors, and warm-water summers. Beginners welcome. Lifers welcome too.
Beach briefing, paddle technique, pop-up drill, then 60 minutes in the water with one instructor for every 3 students.
Three 90-minute lessons spread across a week. Pop-up confidence on lesson one, soft turns by lesson three.
Five mornings of beach games, water-safety lessons, and surfing. Lunch, sunscreen, and snacks included.
Friday-Monday with two daily sessions, video coaching, lodging at Driftwood Inn, and surf-mindset workshops.
Grew up on this beach. 14 years coaching, former state longboard champion.
Patient with first-timers, technical with progressers. Lifeguard since 2014.
Former elementary school teacher. Runs the kids camp and ocean-awareness curriculum.
Brazilian shortboarder, video-coaching specialist. Leads the adult retreats.
Grab a soft-top, foam, or shortboard from the shack on the boardwalk. Wetsuit and leash included with every rental. No reservation needed if you're flexible — call ahead on summer weekends.
Our 5-pack is the fastest way to go from "first wave" to "trimming down the line on your own." Spread across two to four weeks, your choice.
"Marisol got my 9-year-old standing up on her third wave. Best $95 I've spent on a vacation activity, ever."
"Did the adult retreat for my 40th. Two sessions a day, video review at lunch, and the lodging was actually nice. Coming back."
"Sent both my kids to the week-long camp. They came home tired, salty, and asking when they can go back. That's the metric."
