WEIGHT LIMITATIONS WEIGHT LIMITATIONS ARE LAWS OF PHYSICS AND NOT OUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES!
USUALLY PEOPLE NEAR OR OVER 210 LBS HAVE TROUBLE STANDING UP ON THE BOARD AND SURFING. UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU ARE OVER 230 LBS, OUR BOARDS BREAK (WE LOST OVER $1000 IN SOFTBOARDS BEFORE WE LEARNED OUR LESSON!) SO WE CANNOT ACCOMODATE YOU. OUR LARGEST WETSUITS ARE XXL, WHICH GOES UP TO 220 LBS.
(If you are over 220 lbs, you can still do a surf lesson if you bring your own board and wetsuit. If you have a softboard, you can do a group or private lesson, but if you have a hard board, you can only do a private lesson because the hard board is dangerous to others.)

5 day surf camp
$325
morning 9:30-12:30pm
Afternoon 1:00-4:00pm
Monday to Friday

We don't do big farm surf camps like others with 30 kids in the water. We have small groups, up to 12 only! (sometimes we go to 15 or even 18, if we have to, but that's with 5-6 instructors), so you get plenty of attention and all surfing all the time. No beach games! We are not a beach activity surf camp! We are a surf training camp. Over the course of the week, you will progress from riding and catching whitewater waves to riding the outside "face waves" (if the surf doesn't get too big), and you'll always have plenty of our energetic instructors in the water with you so that you never get left out.

We used to have four hour a day camps, but everyone was exhausted by Wednesday and definitely Thursday. So three hours a day is plenty, so we can surf every day without getting too exhausted. It's a slower pace with better results. And we are starting later this year (9:30 instead of 9:00 so the kids on vacation don't have to get up too early.)

We like to fill up the morning camp first before doing the afternoon camp, but please request the afternoon if that is the only time you can go.

San Diego Surfing Lessonsabout our surfing lessons
Our surf lessons are designed to teach you not only how to surf, but how to learn to surf on your own without taking further surf lessons.
While surfing is one of the most difficult sports to master, with the assistance of our expertise after a lifetime of surfing, we can get you up and riding so that you can actually surf on your first time out. In an hour we'll have you doing what it takes others weeks to accomplish.
If you are just visiting the San Diego area, don't live near the surf and don't plan to continue surfing, you can come out and surf with us purely for the physical benefits which surfing provides.
Getting out into the clean water of a beautiful beach and riding the waves is not only an excellent workout, it is also refreshing, rejuvenating, and a great stress reliever which will leave you pleasantly exhausted with a healthy appetite and maybe even the desire to go out and try it again.
From the perspective of your office or workplace, you may not think that you would be able to surf, but with our help, we guarantee that within 1/2 hour of hitting the surf we'll have you standing up and riding the whitewater to the beach with a big smile on your face.
There's not a lot to know in surfing (it's not rocket science), but the more waves you successfully ride, the more you will "know." After surfing since the early 1960's, this is one truth we do know about surfing.
All of our surf instructors are intelligent, experienced surfers who have surfed more than half their lives, and are college students or graduates. They have all been thoroughly trained and given specific written guidelines. Our surf instructors insure not only your safety in the water, but also your ultimate success.
 

San Diego Surfing LessonsWhy San Diego surfing lessons?
Sample San Diego's Best Kept Secret: THE SURF! San Diego has always had more surfable coastline and more surf spots than any other part of the California coast, but this has only been recognized in the last ten years! Now you can get some of this surf yourself!
Now you can surf with no previous experience whatsoever! With our instructors in the surf with you, we will have you standing up and riding waves within the first 1/2 hour of hitting the surf!
In the mountains, go horseback riding. In San Diego, go surfing! If you go to the mountains, maybe you'll go horseback riding. But if you come to San Diego, you can go surfing with no previous experience whatsoever with our assistance.
Leucadia Surf School is a surfing machine!

Why, you ask? Because we pride ourselves on getting everyone up and riding on their first time out, and usually within the first few waves. This past summer of 2008, we actually only had 98% of our students standing up and riding, instead our usual 99.999% success rate of every year until now. So, we slipped a little, but we'll be back to that 99.999% success rate! Visit our photo gallery for all the hard facts.
We get you more waves! Learning to surf is all about riding more waves. It's a simple fact which is often overlooked. So after we get you riding, we get you plenty of waves so that your first surf session will be a good one.
Don't listen to us!
Hear what
"THE PEOPLE"
have to say!		 --"The ultimate California experience, and no trip to this coast is complete without it."
--"This is the real deal from a seasoned local who has the appropriate knowledge and experience regarding surfing and it's culture. The program was worth every penny."
