An hour and a half. The first 10-15 minutes will be spent on the beach learning ocean safety and surfing basics. The remaining time will be spent in the water catching waves.

We advise you to arrive 5-10 minutes early at the Outer Surf building!

We are located at 2500 S Virginia Dare Trail in Nags Head. Mile post 10.5

We provide surfboards and wetsuits (if needed), so all you need to bring is water, sunscreen, and cash if you would like to tip your instructors.

Lessons are for ages 6+. The surfer must be comfortable in the ocean and able to swim on their own without floaties or a lifejacket. We suggest starting young kids with private lessons for safety precautions and so that they can be one on one with their instructor.description
