  • We encourage you to pay over the phone or online before you arrive.

  • You must fill out your waiver online before the day of your lesson. You will be provided the link via email or can find it here. Make sure to specify the correct date of your lesson.

  • Directions to the beach will be provided over the phone within an hour of your lesson - there is no need to come into the shop. You can also use the map below as a reference for our meeting points.

  • If you want to avoid our retail shop entirely, you can also purchase swag before your lesson and we will bring it to the beach. Just take a look at our online store! We will provide a promo code when you sign up online for all Surf Sister branded merchandise!

  • Please note that you are responsible for your own transportation to the beach. We cannot provide transportation under any circumstances.
