Question

How much would you pay for a private surf lesson?

Answer 1

Don't expect a definitive (read Dollars and cents) answer to this question. The local surf ecomony is really different from one part of the world to another. It also depends on whether you are bringing your own board, or using an hourly rental supplied by the instructor, or his or her surf shop. I wouldn't be surprised to so $50.00 to $100.00 hours price tags.

I suggest you go to a local surf shop and ask the folks there about lessons. I mean a real surf shop, not a bathing suit store that sells surfboards. The surf shop folks either have somebody on staff or some people to recommend for surf lessons. Real surfers don't make a lot a money doing this sort of thing, so it won't cost you too much. (Unless you are going to some Sleazy 'pop-out' emporium, where they want to sell you schlockey lessons and get you to buy some mass produced piece of junk surfboard, cranked out in some former Soviet bloc country factory). Get the lessons. It can't hurt, and it's worth the money. There is no stoke greater than surfing, so go get wet.

Answer 2

it depends on who your instructor is, how long it goes for, what beach your at, and the time of year it is.

Answer 3

i woul just take a public lesson becaus  a private lesson costs around 100 bucks and a public like 40 .  so i took a public lesson in hawiia and i got all the proper teaching to go and catch a wave by myself

Answer 4

I know they have public surfing lessons in Waikiki, but I wouldn't pay a penny, I learned how to surf at a very young age, as most locals do.... So I can't imagine someone paying for public surfing lessons. Why don't you just get some friends who knows how to surf and have them teach you? It's all about balance and style, and fairly easy to learn, or perhaps you could learn how to body surf first, and while that would help to teach you balance, nothing comes close to the rush of surfing with a surfboard....... Good Luck! =P

Answer 5

$55.00/hr.   that would be cool to get one on one with the instructor

Answer 6

Dont.. you are wasting your money.. Take the board and study the waves. like anything it takes time to learn.
