What families say

“My two teenage daughters took a one hour semi-private lesson. It was truly top notch. Neither girl had ever surfed and by the end of the lesson they were both able to get up on the board! Their instructor was kind, patient and a great instructor.” — christine t. · Tripadvisor

“Had an awesome lesson with Jeff on Saturday! He was thorough, patient and encouraging with two 60-something ladies who had surfing on their bucket lists. We had an incredible time and would highly recommend LBI Surfing!” — Maureen · Tripadvisor

“Great experience. We booked 3 private lessons for 8 am and when we arrived at the location at 7:45 the instructors were ready and waiting. Alexis, Dylan and Zane were great instructors and the kids all had a great time! Kids were 9 and two 12 year olds and all 3 had a blast and can't wait to book another lesson.” — NJDreamChasers · Tripadvisor
