Safe Surfer Certification Now Available
We are is pleased to announce our newest certification program: Safe Surfer Certification
This program has been in development for over 3 years, and is the result of countless hours devoted towards research and development.
 |
Remarkably it is the first of its kind in Florida and was created with new surfers, experienced surfers and ocean front personnel supervising surfing activities in mind. The core of this program focuses on repetition and memorization of important concepts such as: knowing safety procedures, understanding rip currents and knowing how to recognize dangerous marine life, just to name a few. |
By doing this the student gains a deeper and clearer understanding of the principles that need to be understood in order to pursue surfing in a safe and comfortable manner.
Find out more how you or someone you care about can become Safe Surfer Certified.

Remember: safety always comes first and safe surfers always have more fun!

City Of Margate - The Park and Recreation Summer Camp Goes Surfing!
 |
On Friday, June 16th - 2006 we taught a group of inner city kids who come from all over Florida to participate in the City of Margate “Camp Senior” summer camp program This program is one of a kind due to the fact that it focuses on adventure activities. While kids at other camps are chasing each other with squirt guns or just bouncing a basketball ball around these guys are actually doing things like: going surfing, para-sailing, and deep sea fishing just to name a few! |
This is the first time we have encountered a city summer camp program like this - simply amazing, and certainly a model for other cities follow.
| It was a wonderful experience working with these kids. They all stood up and rode waves! What a blast! Rick, one of our instructors was quoted saying “Guys, nothing would make me happier then to paddle out at at my favorite surf spot and see some your faces out there in the line up”. Ditto Rick - the rest of us feel the same way too! |  |
Check out some of the pictures we took to capture the day: click here

One Of The Best Surf Camps In The World By Newsweek Magazine!
Magazine: Newsweek
Issue Date: May 22, 2006
Section: Tip Sheet - Page 76
 |
Most of the time hard work and dedication go unnoticed. When someone does notice and compliments you on it, it usually makes you feel good, and sometimes even - real good!That is how we felt when Newsweek Magazine listed Florida Surf Lessons as one of the best surf camps in the world. Someone noticed! |
When we were informed several weeks back that we were being considered for inclusion we simply thought that we were going to be listed along side the best surf schools and camps in Florida.
It turned out that since Newsweek is an international magazine they were interested in the worlds best surf camps, not just the best surf camps of one state or country.
Needless to say we are very excited to have achieved recognition from such a wonderful magazine.
