Jimmy Lane Surfing Academy was established in 1985 and has partnered with the City of New Smyrna Beach's Leisure Services as its official summer surf camp for over 30 years.

The leadership team includes owner Jimmy Lane and JLSA instructor and real estate agent Stephanie Stallard, and a JLSA sponsor is the OVER.SEA Real Estate Team.
JLSA Summer Surf Camps are described as New Smyrna Beach's premier surf school program and the official summer surf camp of the City of New Smyrna Beach's Leisure Services for over 30 years. Camps group participants by age and level, include use of surfboards, and feature cold watermelon served daily, a complimentary T-shirt, and a Friday pizza party at both the summer surf camps and the Memorial Week camp. The program encourages family surfing, offers day rates with walk-ups welcome if space is available, and recommends advanced booking. The smallest groms (ages 3–5) can participate in JLSA Prep Academy in a pool setting, and the JLSA Surf Contest is open to all 2026 camp participants. A Surfer's Summer Pak allows families to purchase a block of three weeks and receive a fourth week free.
Jimmy Lane states the program’s mission as: “The Ocean is our classroom, the coaches are your teachers, and the waves are our lessons! Everyone can learn to surf and be ocean smart!”
