surf lesson

Learning to ride

A surf lesson is instruction in how to ride ocean waves on a surfboard, typically covering basics like paddling, standing up, and reading waves.

Beginners usually start with lessons on gentle beach breaks: I booked a surf lesson for my first morning in Hawaii.

Most surf schools provide boards and wetsuits.
