About SEA:
SEA is a permitted surf school in La Jolla Shores that believes surfing should be a holistic learning experience. SEA instructors are all certified in Water Safety, CPR and Advanced First Aid, as well as trained in International Surfing Association best practices, leading the industry in ocean safety and surf instruction. We maintain a ratio of never more than one instructor to five students at all times, both in and out of the water, and for younger students our ratio is one instructor to four students.
Modeled after best practices in martial arts, SEA has a sophisticated curriculum, and learning pathway which equips students with the skills and knowledge to be safe and independent in the ocean. Students start at a “Green Jersey” (like a “white belt” in karate) with the opportunity to advance to blue, green, orange, red, and eventually black, as they progress in skill, confidence and self awareness.
Why Choose Surfing?
Surfing is a unique opportunity for students to foster an independent relationship with nature through hands-on experience. The life lessons gained from surfing run a range of character traits which support healthy development and 21st century skills. Surfers need to be patient, resilient, creative and kind. We see the ocean as our dojo and empower our students to make sound decisions both in and out of the water. In addition to surf instruction, students will gain valuable information on ocean safety and independence, marine science specific to our local coastal areas, and environmental conservation and stewardship. So why choose a session with SEA? Surfing with us can be a holistic teaching and learning experience which is likely to spark a lifetime of joy spent among friends and family in the outdoors.

SEA Surf Camps are run Monday through Friday. We are not able to split weeks up or offer credit.
We do not negotiate prices, offer credit for missed days, swap surf camp days for surf lessons or pro-rate weeks for any reason.
If weather permits us from running certain sessions, make up credit will be offered for a weekend Surf Club session or Group Surfing Class.
Foam Surfboards are provided at no additional charge
Hard Surfboards - We recommend campers use soft boards only. If your child has their own surfboard and want to bring it we will have a safety assessment on day one to ensure they have the proper safety habits in place to keep themselves and others safe at all times. Our staff reserves the right to require any campers to ride soft boards at any time if safety becomes a concern.
Wetsuit rental is $39 for the week
Full Day Camps are a long day at the beach and only encouraged for those who love surfing and the ocean. We encourage half day camps for most campers, but are glad to provide full day camps for those who can’t get enough. Extra water food and sunscreen is required. The minimum age for Full Day Camp is 8 years old. No credit, refunds, splitting up sessions between weeks, or prorating will be offered if the camper decides not to attend the full day sessions.

Cancellations can only be made through your original email confirmation and must be done at least 2 weeks prior to the start of camp for a refund. Credit for a different week of camp will be issued if canceled up to 1 week prior to the start of camp. No credit or refund issued within 1 week of camp. Credit or refunds cannot be processed over the phone.
