Learn To Ride A Wave In La Jolla!
This all-women surfing school is dedicated to helping
females of all ages succeed in this popular water sport. Many classes are
offered, ranging from two hours to five-day camps. The two-day clinic is the
most popular course, taught on Saturday and Sunday mornings at the La Jolla
Shores Beach. Beginning and intermediate surfers may attend this class, which
includes ocean awareness, paddling and wave riding. Young surfers have their
own class, as youth day camps are held for ages 10-18. Bring a swimsuit, towel,
water and sunscreen for your class at the beach.
Private Surf Lessons are open to women,
guys and kids!
Whether you're a beginner who wants to try surfing for the
first time or an experienced wave-shredder who wants to advance to the next
level, a private surf lesson at Surf Diva is for you! Our professional, expert surf instructors are trained to work
with people of all ages and skill levels. Every instructor is hand selected by
Surf Diva Surf School and goes through our intensive training program. Our
instructors are also certified in CPR and First Aid, so you can feel
assured that you are getting the best surf
training in the world.
Equipment
Do you rent
surfboards or wetsuits?
Yes! We offer rentals on a first come first serve basis in our
boutique. You can rent both a board and a wetsuit for a half day ($25) or
a full day ($50). You can also rent the board only for $10 an hour or a
wetsuit only for $6 an hour.
What do I bring to
class at Surf Diva?
Bring what you would take for a normal few hours at the beach: sunscreen,
comfortable swimsuit (either one or two-piece), towel, board shorts, hair tie,
sunglasses, sweatshirt, hat, drinking water, and a light snack.
How early should I
show up for my class?
We suggest arriving at the Surf Diva boutique at least a 1/2 hour before
your lesson to check in. Allow time to find a parking space as La Jolla can get
very busy and parking is limited. The instructors arrive right as class
time begins.
What do I do if I
wear contacts?
If you wear disposable ones, you are okay. Otherwise, wear an old pair
and close your eyes tightly when underwater. You may also want to use
swim goggles. These are suggestions from other Divas who surf.
What kind of swimsuit
do I wear?
Whatever you can move around in comfortably. Remember, you are going
to be very active. In the warmer summer months you may want to bring
along a pair or boardshorts (surf trunks) in case you do not need a westsuit.
May - September are warm-water months when wetsuits are optional.
"I don't think
you will have wetsuit for me because I am an extra large or extra small
person."
No worries. We ask that all students give us their size so that we
can make arrangements for a proper wetsuit for you (sizes range from XS to
XXL).
Can I keep the
equipment to use after the class is over?
You cannot keep your equipment after the lesson is finished, but you can
rent a board and/or wetsuit from our Surf Diva Boutique.
Preparation
What is the best way to help my body prepare for surfing?
Swimming is great. Push-ups, sit-ups, and yoga are all extremely helpful.
Training on a skateboard is a fun way to practice your stance and
balance, not to mention great exercise and transportation.
How good of a swimmer
do I need to be?
You should be a competent swimmer (able to swim 200 yards) and be comfortable
in the ocean.
