Learn How to Surf on Your Next Beach Vacation

En route to Florida and in search of surf lessons? Look no further than Florida’s Emerald Coast! Although the waves are a bit smaller than the ones you’ll find out west, the Gulf of Mexico is the perfect place to ride some waves. Surf’s up! 

Ride on Surf School
Located at Captain Dave's Seafood Restaurant in Destin, Ride-on Surf School offers surfing lessons for people aged 8 and up at any skill level. Ride-On has a team of experienced, certified surf instructors that are eager to help Florida’s Emerald Coast visitors learn more about this water sport.  

One happy customer on TripAdvisor said: “This was a perfect beginner lesson for our family of 5. Our instructors Dylan and Logan were patient, flexible and easy-going. Perfect for our 3 young kids (and Mom and Dad too). Would recommend this as the simplest, easiest way to book a surf lesson. Very much worth it.”  

All Aboard Surf School  
This surf school serving Destin and 30A is best known for the multitude of options available to those searching for lessons. A surf camp is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with private lessons, semi-private lessons and group lessons offered every day of the week. All Aboard prides itself on teaching students how the waters work so that they are equipped to surf long after their time with the instructors.  

A surf school client left the following Google review: “My family and I booked a group lesson and we had the best time! The instructor was so calm and patient with my young niece who started the lesson being scared of the water and now she LOVES it. We had a blast and I cannot wait to do it again the next time my family is in town.”

A TripAdvisor user shared this after her session: “I booked this lesson a week before we left for the trip. My son was really looking forward to this & it did not disappoint. Austin was a really great person & instructor. He was very patient with my son & taught him what he needed to know to catch & surf wave after wave. My son is still talking about it. Money well spent for a great experience.”
