Surfboard, Instruction
Build confidence and learn to surf with professional local instructors certified in CPR and First Aid. Start on the beach with safety and technique, then head into the water for hands-on coaching tailored to your pace.
Locations may vary between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach; your instructor will confirm the meeting spot and time. Wetsuits are provided only during cold temperatures.
Cancel at least 48 hours before the start to receive a full refund minus a 5% processing fee. No-shows are charged in full. If the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you will receive a full refund.
Families and first-timers consistently praise the patience and enthusiasm of the instructors here, with Brandon, Logan, Josh, and Wyatt earning particular shoutouts. The surf lessons seem to be a real highlight, with multiple reviewers mentioning how quickly they got up on waves and how encouraging the teaching style is across the board. Parents especially appreciate watching their kids catch their first waves, and returning customers make this an annual tradition when visiting the area. Beyond surfing, the kayak and paddleboard tours through the salt marsh and inlet offer a completely different experience that's equally beloved. Guides share fascinating details about local ecosystems and wildlife, and the trips to places like Waites Island and Hogg Island feel authentic rather than touristy. The rental service is super convenient too, with free delivery and pickup right at the beach. Equipment is well-maintained, and the whole operation runs smoothly whether you're booking lessons or just need a foamie for the day. The friendly, laid-back vibe comes through in every review.
Each year, the kids and I schedule a bunch of surf lessons with Kokopelli Surf Camp. We live up North, so it's great getting a dose of "surfing education" every summer. We are so grateful to the instructors at Kokopelli, who each have their own style, but are invariably friendly, patient, fun, and enthusiastic, especially when families and friends get together to learn. Thank you Brandon, Logan, and Josh for all the great times and great instruction! We'll be coming back to see you!
