I’ve never surfed before. Is Surf Fit right for me?

Absolutely! Surf Fit is designed for beginners, or for those who want to refresh their skills.

What can I expect from class?

Surf Fit focuses on teaching you the basics of surfing. You will go through a warm-up on land first. Mobility and posture will be addressed as key points for injury prevention.

We will also go over paddling technique, board handling, safety and etiquette before practicing in the water.

What if I can’t swim very well?

Safety is the number one priority. It would be ideal if you can at least tread water. If not, staying close to shore would be your best option.

Where do we meet?

Meet at 8 a.m. at the following location:

Breakwater Surf Co.
67-20 Rockaway Beach Blvd
Averne, NY 11692

Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email. I will send a wake-up text the morning of the class to ensure you have all the details you need. Please make sure you are on time as I cannot hold up the class. We meet at Breakwater to gear up at 8 a.m. ,and then we head to Beach 65th with our boards to start class at 8:30 a.m.  Class ends at 10 a.m.

How do I get there?

You can get there by car, train, bus or ferry.

From Manhattan, take the A train to Far Rockaway and get off at Beach 67th Street.

If you get on the A to Lefferts Blvd, you must transfer at Rockaway Blvd for the A to Far Rockaway

What do I need to bring?

Swimsuit, Id, Sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, water and towel. It is safe to leave everything at the shop.

What if it rains?

Surfing in the rain is fun! Besides, you are wet anyway. As long as there’s no lightning, we will be fine. Again, safety will always be a priority. If for any reason the conditions are unsafe, you will be notified immediately and class will be rescheduled.

What’s the cancellation and refund policy?

Any cancellations must be made at least 24 hours ahead of time by email. Failure to do so will result in forfeit of class. There are no makeup classes nor refunds.

What if I show up late?

You are responsible for showing up on time. If you are late, the time will be subtracted from the remainder of the class.
