Where is the best place to learn to surf (in North America)?

Question

I'm looking to learn to surf this summer. I live in Alberta, Canada (near the Rocky Mountains) and I'm considering a road trip this summer, hopefully to somewhere I can learn to surf (or at least have fun trying).

Any specifics (certain areas, companies, etc) are also greatly appreciated!

Thanks
