Wavehuggers Surf School
We only publish photos we have permission to share.
Mobile surf school that meets groups at North Ponto Beach with surfboards and wetsuits. Surf parties ('for any age', with an optional yoga class and pop-up shade tents) are quoted through a request form; published group-lesson pricing is $90 per surfer for six or more for 90 minutes or $105 per surfer for 2 hours, with smaller-group totals listed, but the Carlsbad online booking only goes up to 7 surfers (6 for 2-hour lessons) and bigger groups pick a 'Large Group Booking' request. Lessons run rain or shine and are only cancelled if a lifeguard deems conditions unsafe.
