Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the surf lessons? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join! Sierra Surf School usually accommodates ages 8 and up, depending on the child's swimming ability. They’ll have instructors who are great with kids and can adjust the lesson accordingly. Just make sure to check with them before booking to ensure they can handle any special requests.

Q: What do you wear for the surf lessons? Any specific gear needed?

A: You just need to wear a swimsuit, and the school provides wetsuits, which is super convenient! I'd recommend bringing a towel and some flip-flops as well. If you're sensitive to the sun, a rash guard could be a good idea.

Q: What if the weather doesn’t cooperate? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes, they have a flexible rescheduling policy! If the weather is bad, Sierra Surf School will contact you to offer a new date. It’s always good to check their cancellation policy on the site, but they’ve been really accommodating in my experience.

Thinking about gifting surf lessons in NYC - any tips?

Hey everyone! I'm considering getting surf lessons from Sierra Surf School for my partner's birthday. I heard it’s only 45 mins away from NYC and they provide all the gear. Are the instructors good? Do you think a beginner like my partner will feel comfortable? Any advice would be awesome!

Just did the surfing lessons at Sierra Surf School!

OMG, I just finished the 90-minute surf lesson with Sierra Surf School, and it was a blast! The instructors were all super nice and spoke multiple languages, which made it even better. I felt nervous at first but they really help you catch the basics quickly. Totally recommend it for anyone, especially if you're in NYC and want a fun day at the beach!
