Surf Lessons and Rentals at Cannon Beach Surf

Lessons

If you really want to learn to surf, and want more than a social event........  then, we suggests you book a private lesson, back to back.... ie;

Day 1, private lesson with equipment for 24 hours would cost $85 plus $35 for equip.,   Total, $120

Lesson is 2 1/2 -3 hrs.

Day 2, private " intermediate" lesson, cost $85.....

Total Cost for 2 days of private lessons with equipment : $205

Compare that price to a group "clinic"!

And, you are getting lessons from a trained instructor, not just a          " surfer who can teach you to surf".....

And, to top that!  We will only work with a ratio of 3:1, so if you have a group of 3 people, the cost would be reduced....We will however work with family groups.

Per person cost for a  1 day lesson with equip. with 2 people, would be

$100 each, with 3 people cost per lesson with equipment per person would be $89!

From Holly,

Wanted to thank Jules for the lesson in May. I have had really great days on the water since then. Got green water today, dropped in from the top and almost ate it because I was so excited/surprised. Fantastic end to what turned out to be a super-craptastic week.
Thank you!

Hi Mark,
I just wanted to thank you so much for hooking me up with that board this week. I am so excited to have my very own board! I actually had a friend help me get it up the stairs to my apartment for the first night because I wanted to hang out with it before having to store it in the garage. I can't wait to get it waxed up and in the water.

I really want to thank you and your staff at the shop. I've wanted to learn to surf for almost fifteen years, but I'd always told myself I wouldn't be able to do it. When I finally got the courage up to call for a lesson, I found your staff to be so kind and friendly and attitude-free. If I had been uncomfortable, I probably would have dropped it and never tried again. But you guys really create a great learning environment for newbies, and lessons with Jules couldn't possibly be any better - great instruction, tons of patience, emphasis on having a completely rad time. Thanks for making this whole thing an excellent experience for me. I might be the world's slowest learner, but I'm determined to stick with it! It's better than I even thought it would be.

Cheers,
Kimberly


FLOUNDERS BLOG / RANT:
In reply to your comment of "spiritual Minute", i can only say this:
You are finally getting it. Thats what it is all about for me. I know that no one will ever stand in the parking lot at Indian and say "wow look at that guy...he kicks ass!", but that is not what it is about.
Its about an early morning drive in peace, leaving the crap in the city behind and soaking up the beauty of the Coast Range.
Its about pulling in to the lot at Indian, and meeting nice people, like Bob, and making new friends.
Its about that special feeling you get when Mark pulls into the lot and flips you off, then gives you that big grin and says "lets go little girl, no white water for you today"
Its about stopping by the shop afterwards, talking with Maria, Charles, Sandy and Kelly, knowing you can just be yourself and you are spending time with quality folks.
Its about driving back to the city a little more whole, a little healed, storing that feeling up until you can get back down to the beach.

So, "spiritual"? Hell yes, but not just for a minute. For a life time.

Just wanted to say Thanks for the morning report, and I enjoy your rants. I know it takes extra time out of your morning and I imagine there are lots of people who look forward to your waxing.

Hi Julie, My brother Michael and I took surf lessons from you last week. I just wanted to say thanks for being so helpful and giving me an awesome, new life experience!
Best,
Robert


Hey Julie! I just wanted to thank you again for taking my sister, brother in law and myself surfing today! I had an awesome time and I want to come back soon and give it another try. Alan and I went back out and did pretty well! It would have been so cool if you could have stayed and hung out with us but I figured you had more important thing to do. It was really nice meeting you though.

Hi Julie,
Thanks again for a great day at the beach! McKenna and Maddi agreed that surfing was their favorite thing we did in Oregon, and we really appreciate all you did to make it easy and fun for them to learn!
Thanks again,

Cannon Beach Surf! You guys rock! Everyone we met at the shop was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, made the whole experience that much better! And as it turns out, perfectly represented all the locals we ran into the rest of the week. You completely forget that you are tourists. Can't remember the last time we have been anywhere where we could say that, amazing area. Not to mention the surfing! It's safe to say that there are 5 new surfer converts. Christy and I are already looking at our next surfing adventure in La Push, hope to do those lessons some justice ;).

Hey my Lithuanian Retired Cop buddy says that Banglenciu is the lithuanian word for surfing.
BANG LEN CHU is how it sounds.

I just wanted to send a short letter of gratitude for a great day. We took our first surf lesson on Monday(8/25) morning and it was better than I could have expected. I have wanted to surf for a very long time, I found your lesson info on the web about a year prior, and I am ever so happy when expectations are exceeded. Paloma was very articulate and had a noticeable passion for surfing, Thank You! THANK YOU!
