Any places to learn to surf in Hilton Head Island?

Question

A few years ago we came to the same place and went to Palmetto Dunes Outfitter to learn to surf they gave us a nice 2 hour lesson for under $60 but now they have the same thing for $100 per person and we need to find a different place here? Help?

I surf a bit further north in SC. There is not much of a surf community in Hilton Head. It is too far south, and has some serious wave deficits (like nearby Georgia). If you are dead set on Hilton Head, try: Not only is there Hilton Head Surf Shop (843-785-7873) and Nan-Seas Surf Shop (843-681-6861), there's also the Supreme Fuel Station (843-842-3835), ground zero for Fuel Clothing.

You could also check out:Sunny Daze Surfboards 155 William Hilton Pkwy Hilton Head Island, SC 29926. They offer rentals and individual lessons.

If you are getting into surfing, and have some time to drive north, you might want to check out this event it's for a good cause:

Are y’all ready to rock? South Carolina’s biggest weekend of surfing — the Fifth Annual S.C. Governor’s Cup (20th Annual State Championships) -- goes down Aug. 9-10 at The Washout on Folly Beach. More than 250 competitors from Florida to Virginia will battle it out in 28 various divisions in hopes of becoming the next South Carolina State Surfing Champion. This year's proceeds are going to support Surfer's Healing Day Camp sponsored by the SSC/ESA on Aug. 12 at the Holiday Inn. It all starts with a beach party at the Folly Beach Holiday Inn on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Free to competitors and only $6 for friends and family. And Liquid Shredder is once again sponsoring the Push `n Surf Division for novices.
