2. I have my own board, but I am not sure its right for me, should I bring it?
     Yes.  We will help you understand your board, from how it was designed, to who and what the shaper had in mind when he made it.  We will help you discover your board and unlock its potential.  In some cases the surfboard you own might be completely wrong for you.  If that?s the case, our quiver is sure to have something to your liking.

3. Do you provide wetsuits? Will I need one?
     If you would like a wetsuit, please notify us before hand, so that we can arrange to have one dry and ready for you. The water temperature changes daily, but its safe to say that during July and August, you will not need a wetsuit.

5. I?ve never surfed before and I really want to try, but I think I might be too old to start, should I bother?
     Surfing is like golf.  Anyone can have a fun day ?messing around.?  And also like golf, it also has a slow learning curve that has several plateaus.  We can help you get to a level of competence where you can enjoy your time in the water and feel comfortable.  Surfing is just like anything else in life, where the younger you start, the easier it is to pick up, and the more your practice the better you get.  That being said, I have seen tremendous improvement from aspiring surfers in their 30?s, 40?s, and 50?s.  You might not make the pro tour, but you can still play on the same course.

6. What is the best way to learn? Should I sign up for the camp or private lessons?
     Private lessons are the best introduction to surfing.  We recommend the private lessons so that one can get the most out of a lesson.

7. Where are you located?
     This one always seems to give some people trouble.  We are a mobile business, operating on the beach in Atlantic City, NJ.  We do not have a physical address.  We set up our Tent "Camp Summer" on the beach in Atlantic City.  We are currently negotiating with the Beautiful Hilton Casino to work on the beach in front of there Hotel.  You can find us there every day from around 9am-6pm all summer long, there are not always lessons so if we are not there just give us a call.  We also give private lessons and parties all summer long at other beaches in New Jersey, just ask if your interested in a different beach.
