Thinking about gifting a surf lesson in Santa Cruz!

I’m considering getting my boyfriend a beginner surf lesson at Santa Cruz. He’s always wanted to try surfing but hasn’t had the chance. The price is amazing ($0.00, right?)! I'm just curious if it’s suitable for someone who's never been on a board before? Also, how long does the lesson actually last? Any tips would be appreciated!

Just did the beginner surf lesson in Santa Cruz!

I just got back from the beginner surf lesson, and it was epic! The instructors were super chill and helpful. They really break down the basics, and I actually caught a couple of waves. The location is gorgeous too! If you’re on the fence, just do it! I’m thinking of going back to improve my skills.
