The Best Place to Learn How to Surf in San Diego

Surfing is hard enough as it is.  Not only do you have to balance and turn on the board, you have to learn to position yourself, paddle correctly, drop in, and pop up on moving waves just to get to the riding part.  It’s like trying to snowboard on a moving mountain or skateboard on a moving street.  (Of course we strongly recommend surf lessons to make the process easier.)

But surfing in San Diego can be made that much harder by choosing the wrong place to go, and so much easier by choosing the best place to surf in San Diego.

We strongly recommend learning to surf in San Diego at La Jolla Shores.  Here’s why:

Every time we cruise by Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and Ocean Beach, we watch beginner surfers struggling on the fast, close out waves.  In general the waves at these beaches all break in big sections, called “close out waves”.  This means the whole wave face crashes at once leading to steep drop ins and very little time and room to surf.where to surf san diego

A “close out wave”, found along most of San Diego’s coast, leads to steep drop ins and very little to surf.

At La Jolla Shores, the waves are, in general, much gentler, a bit smaller, and far easier to drop in and leave more room for the fun part: surfing!  We call these “peeling waves” or long board waves” and can make life so much easier for a beginning surfer.Learn more about learning to surf in San Diego at menehunesurf.com

Menehune Surf Sponsors the 2014 Menhune Surf Contest!

Menehune Surf School will be sponsoring the 2014 Menehune Surf Contest at La Jolla Shores for another year!

This contest is a favorite of ours because it’s fantastic for beginner and intermediate groms (surfer kids). The whitewash (after the wave has broke) is a great place for beginners to start in the contest. If you’re looking to advance in surfing, Menehune surf school offers lessons for all ages that will get everyone out of the whitewash and up on the waves.
Our Menehune Surf Team, the year round surf instruction program for kids of all levels, will be in the contest representing big time alongside all the friends they’ve made in the program.

The event is Saturday April 26th, and early bird registration ends on April 21st.  Hit us up if your grom would benefit from a private surfing lesson at La Jolla Shores to tune up before the contest.

Hope to see you there!

  Menehune Surf School provides some of the best guided surf instruction in all of San Diego. With one surf lesson, our students are standing up on their boards and catching waves!! Surf Lessons are provided for all ages, and anyone who wants to learn and experience the art of riding waves. 
  For the younger crowd, ages 5-17, we offer innovated surf instruction and ocean education in our Summer Surf Camps. Each camp is led by two experienced instructors, most of who are school teachers and coaches. Our camps are limited in size so that our instructors can create learning environments where kids receive more personalized attention, feel comfortable being themselves, and have fun while mastering the art of surfing!

At Menehune Surf, we wish to not only teach the fun, active sport of surfing, but gratitude and appreciation for the waters in which we learn.
