As Topsail Island's Oldest Surf School, we're in the business of making happy humans happier surfers.

We teach lessons everyday, all year and have been spreading stoke since 2013.

 What're ya wading for?! Jump on a board with us!


Our Daily Surf Lessons are designed to get you and your surfing compadres schooled on shredding and out there catching your first ride! Our fun and professional instructors teach new students about what's going on around us in the ocean, the equipment we use, how to properly "pop-up," and how best to exercise safety in the water. Lessons are at 9 AM, Noon, and 2 PM Monday-Sunday. Gather your friends and family, or if you're a Lone Ranger and want to join some other new surfers, we can set you up with like-company. Simply call, text, or book online to reserve your spot, then cruise by the shop 15-minutes before start time and let the shredding begin on the hour!
