It’s good to know there are some nice resorts I can go to nearby. I would love to be able to learn so I could surf on my own!
I can’t swim, but I would LOVE to watch my husband and kids learn to serf. They would love it.
This post makes me want to try my hand at surfing again. I took a couple of lessons back in the day. It was… unsuccessful. LOL
Learning to surf in any of those spots would be so much fun! We have a running list of places we want to visit, and all of these are going on there.
I’ve been to the Sanderling Resort and I agree, it is the perfect place to take surfing lessons!
My kids love the water and have become quite good at boogie and body boarding. I think actual surfing is the next step and look forward to watching them learn!
Looks like I need to head to california right now! I’ve always wanted to learn how to surf!
Surfing is very popular here as I live in a seashore community. I have never tried surfing but somehow suspect I am not quite coordinated enough for it.
Hi
Very nice blog and this giving the very good information,
I read your blog I am very happy with your blog.
Thanking you.
Surfing does sound like fun. But it sounds a little spooky, like sky-diving.
Thing is, I would not mind trying both of these! That would spice things up a bit.
I have always wanted to surf and would definitely want lessons from a professional before just trying it out. I would love to try surfing in California!
Thanks for mentioning Hilton Head! People don’t usually think of our resident resort town for surfing, but it is really awesome.
My boys would love this! They’ve taken an interest in surfing so I will have to include one or two of these places you’ve mentioned in our travel plans this summer.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to surf! This is such great info!
I don’t think I could even stand up on one. However, my boy would love to learn!
My husband and I have always wanted to learn something wild. This sounds like it would be a great plan and one of these places is near us!
We don’t live far from Hilton Head. We might have to take a weekend trip and learn how to surf! I didn’t know they offered something there!
Surfing is definitely some serious business. I would love to have my kids take surfing lessons if it were possible. Thanks for sharing.
It must be so much fun to learn riding the waves. I wish I learned how to do that when I was young, but since I grew up in a land-locked city, it was not always possible to travel miles and miles to get to a beach. I am just amazed to see how some kids can easily pick up the skill to surf!
I am pretty close to Hilton Head SC, and i know my husband would love to get a surfing lesson. We have never been there but have always wanted to, this is a good reason to go!
I’ve never taken any surf lessons before and it’s good to know where to find good ones. I really appreciate this list. I’ve always wanted to learn how to surf. It’s never too late!
Oh my husband would love this. He is addicted to surfing!
