We don't just push you into waves, we teach you how to surf
At Progressive Surf Academy, we believe that surfing lessons should be about more than just pushing people into waves and yelling "stand up, stand up!" Our approach to surf instruction is designed to teach all aspects of surfing - proper technique, knowledge of and respect for the ocean, wave selection, and having a blast in the water.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is that surfing is a journey, not just a destination. We believe that the experience of surfing is just as important as the act of surfing itself. That's why we prioritize making our lessons fun, engaging, and tailored to your individual needs.
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to surf instruction, focusing on teaching proper technique, wave selection, and ocean awareness. Before we even get in the water, we take the time to understand each of our students' goals, abilities, and concerns. Once in the water, our experienced instructors adapt our teaching style to meet the needs of each student.
Our Instructors
Our team of experienced instructors, led by founder Christian, have spent years honing their craft. With over 25 years of surfing experience, Christian has a vast knowledge base to share.
