We love this team, from the awesome owners to the great staff they hire. I have trusted them with my children’s lives for five years now and I never regret it. Beyond their skill level improving, my three kids love the instructors and always make great friends. If you want a fun and safe learning environment for your children, their surf school can’t be beat. Year after year, they impress me.

This is our 10th year coming to Corky Carroll’s surf camp and we love it! My niece and nephew had the best week. The instructors are super motivating and energetic! Keith and Kelsey are amazing and make you feel like part of their surf family. The organization and daily routine is top notch. Each day is a fun filled adventure!

Have you ever thought about how cool it would be to stand up and ride a wave? Give yourself, your child, or a friend the opportunity to become involved in the exhilarating sport of surfing. Jeff has over 35 years of surfing experience and will create a safe and comfortable learning environment. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience Jeff will give you the tools to take your surfing to the next level.

I teach at Orange and LA Counties' safest spots where there are no rocks making it much safer to get in and out of the water. Each surf lesson starts on the sand, I'll discuss safety, equipment, and how to properly stand up on a surfboard. I then take the students to the water where we practice how to paddle, sit on the board and stand up. The only prerequisite is that every student must be a proficient swimmer. All equipment is included in the lesson. I use state-of-the-art soft top surfboards which are very safe and made up of the same material as a boogie board. I also provide full-length wetsuits to keep you nice and warm throughout your lesson.

"Jeff did a great job of explaining the basics and safety, not cutting corners to save time but to actually ensure safety was observed during the lesson. Positive attitude, very chill and not pushy or rude. I had a fantastic time for my first surfing experience and I plan to do much more again soon! Thank you Jeff!!!"
