You might realize why keeping the ocean clean has become such a big deal.
Wave surfing conditions are dependent on many factors like sun, moon, wind, currents and nerve to get into chilly (52 degree northern california) water. All factors change with natures cycle and will. We'll make sure that we offer you the best possible conditions during your surf trip, considering the weather conditions and your level of surfing.

We know the coastline well and get you to the best working breaks.
To this end a fixed itinerary cannot be given in advance, apart from the dates and places of departure and the end of the trip. A truly surf action packed outdoors adventure.

INTRO and story from SurfLine.comSurfing has given me many unforgettable years of fun, health and recreation. After teaching beginning surfers for more than 20 years, I've seen the long list of obstacles that they have to overcome in order to learn. To put it bluntly, surfing literally takes years to master. But with the help of this instruction, you should be able to avoid many of the common mistakes that students make. CROSS TRAINING It always helps to start when you're young, but age isn't nearly as important as physical conditioning. The best cross-training for surfing is swimming. As you'll quickly discover, at least 95 percent of your surfing time will be spent paddling rather than riding waves. To make this a bearable experience, you must have a strong upper body. A pool will work, but the optimum option is open-ocean swimming. It will help your conditioning and confidence in all types of ocean conditions. Sooner or later, your leash is going to break, and when it does, you'll be infinitely safer if you know what to do. I'd recommend a workout regimen of three days a week with a mixture of long-distance and sprint swims. Also, I recommend taking a course in CPR before you start spending extended periods of time in the water. The ocean is unpredictable-always be prepared for the worst. More to come tomorrow...
