I just took my second group lesson with Locals. I like the group lessons b/c you get several instructors tips and advice in the 2 hours (3 to 1 ratio of instructors to students).

My kids have enjoyed Locals surf camp for the past 4 summers. The instructors know how to make it fun for beginners, which fosters a love of the sport. We’ve stayed at the Locals beach house, eaten at Locals cafe and surf at Locals surf school. The Mikes have set up a great operation in the Rockaways.
We are a New York City based surf school offering lessons to all ages and all skill levels. We offer private lessons, semi private lessons and group lessons. We also have a kids camp every week in the summer. We offer packages for surf lessons. Find us in Rockaway Beach!
