Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I have never surfed before. Do you have a program for someone like me?
About 50% of our students have never surfed before. We only require that you are comfortable swimming in the surf zone.
I have some surf experience and want to work on more advanced maneuvers; do you offer programs for this?
Yes, we work with students on intermediate and advanced levels of surfing including competitive surfing tips. Our location also gives us the ability to take experienced surfers to a point break down the beach. These waves provide experienced surfers more options to attempt high performance maneuvers.
Can I bring my own equipment?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own equipment if you have it, in fact we recommend it. For those who need equipment we do provide surfboards and wetsuits.
What is the ratio of students to instructors and what are the qualifications of the instructors?
We guarantee a student to instructor ratio of 5:1, however, there will be days when the ratio is better. All instructors have years of surfing and ocean experience and some of our instructors are also CPR and lifeguard certified.
What is there to do if it rains all day?
SSSC is run through the Parks and Recreation Department of Hull. This gives us access to the Jacobs Elementary School Gymnasium. The gymnasium gives us the ability to operate 5 days a week. Surf movies, surf stories, physical activities and games will be enjoyed during the day.
