We pride ourselves in using boards that are thicker and wider (Stormblades) than most other surf school's boards so that you can maximize the potential of your lesson and get up the first day! We like to always start you on a bigger board with more flotation (most likely either an 8 or 9 footer) which is easier to stand on and then if you have success fast then go to a smaller board which will be easier to turn later. Keep in mid we sell these Stormblade boards in the Surf Shop portion of our website!
