One Hour Surf Lesson With Experienced Instructor In Cocoa Beach

Edgar was awesome! We were hesitant to go because the waves looked small but they encouraged us to come try and it was amazing!!! Caught so many waves!! Edgar taught us a ton that we hadn’t learned before in other lessons! Would highly recommend for beginners or intermediate surfers!

We did a surf lesson with Taylor. 2 adults, 12 year old and 10 year old. Taylor was a great teacher. Fun, helpful and patient! Helped tailor the lesson to each of our needs. We were all riding the waves and can’t wait to go surfing again!!

Noah was an excellent surf instructor! My 10- and 12-year-olds had a fantastic time during their lesson and were consistently able to stand up and ride the board by the end.

Such a great experience! Ryan and Allison were amazing. I had fun and was actually able to surf! Thank you so much! My kids are excited to try it next time!!

Amazing experience. Highly recommend! Caleb was so knowledgeable and patient.

Our family had the best experience during our surfing lesson with Hugo. Under his direction he got my teenage daughter and husband to both successfully catch a wave, even though the waves weren’t super big. Surfing next to the pier was idyllic and we rented chairs from them and stayed and had an enjoyable lunch on the pier afterwards. So pleased with the success of my daughter’s first lesson- it was the whole reason she wanted to come to Cocoa Beach for vacation! Thanks again, Hugo!

The lesson was for my grandson who had never surfed before. The instructor was thorough, patience, and very encouraging. My grandson had a wonderful time and even stood up on the board a number of times. I recommend this highly for a first timer.

I took my son yesterday (June 4, 2025) and although the sea was choppy that day due to high winds (and light rain) my son had an excellent experience. He is proud of his newly acquired beginner surfing skills and we will be back with family and friends! Thank you to "Surfer dude" his instructor! Beautiful morning at the beach!

Surf lessons were amazing! My sons learned quick. Instructor was patient and clear with directions. Owner was very kind.

Hugo was amazing and we had the best time! A fun, lighthearted way to learn. It was so cool to surf at famous Pier. My Sister and I were both able to stand up. I can’t recommend this spot enough!

Was great. Helpful. Got a ton of waves in. Instructor was kind and did a good job.good clue for your money. Enjoyed every minute.

TAYLORRRR!!! our guy seriously !!! coolest dude ever. never felt more comfortable with a stranger in our lives! from MT and surfed in a second. I RECOMMEND!!!

Instructors were perfect for our two grandchildren on Saturday the 5th. A couple tandem rides allowed our grandson to have the courage to stand up on the last good wave.

It was one of the best experiences ever. I’m from Alaska and I’ve never have the opportunity to surf so I was so happy to have the chance!

Our instructor Taylor was very competent and explained well what to do to stay on that surfboard. At the same time he was fun and easygoing so we really enjoyed the lesson! Will definitely do that again!

Had a great time learning to surf with Seth experienced and dedicated surfer ! Highly recommend School of Surf. I was a skater growing up and wanted to transition to surfing now I'm hooked !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jeffrey was an outstanding surf instructor for my 16-year-old son! His teaching style was incredibly instructive and patient, making the entire experience both fun and productive. Jeffrey had the perfect balance of professionalism and encouragement, and he got my son confidently surfing right away. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to surfing, and we highly recommend Jeffrey to anyone looking to learn!

We did a one hour lesson for our family of 4. Joe and his coworker were great! They got us up an riding the waves. Our lesson was at noon and we were able to keep our boards for the rest of the day. Best part of our trip!

Joe was awesome and got me and my 16 yo up on the waves in no time, and I had never done it before! My son had trouble at first, but Joe quickly switched him out to a wider board and he did great. Thanks to them, I have found a new addiction. Highly recommend the experience!

The women trainer was excellent, she was patient and explained the step on getting up and standing up on board. I would do it again.

Tyler did a fantastic job! My daughter had a awsesome time and learned a lot. Thanks!!! After the one hour lesson she could keep the board and practise surfing on her own.

We had an absolutely terrific surf lesson with Reno. He was so patient and supportive and so positive! My teen age nephew absolutely loved him. We had a three hour lesson which was a perfect amount of time with water and snack breaks (it was hot!). By the end we were getting up pretty constantly. I also felt that Reno had a great eye for safety. Best thing we did all week. I also rented chairs and an umbrella from the surf school which was key to making the day great.

Easy to follow directions, great beginner experience because of the patience and encouragement of instructor! Good time!! Parking at the pier was a whopping $30! Location was pretty crowded, but lifeguards were good about keeping the water free from swimmers in the surfing area.

We actually did the two hour lesson but this school/lesson was awesome! We had been surfing a couple of times previously but didn’t manage to accomplish much. By the end of this lesson, we were paddling into waves on our own, popping up, and riding them to shore. Ryan was our instructor and was awesome. Super chill, well informed when teaching us to read the waves, and was encouraging and patient with our progression. If you want to learn to surf or just want to try it once as a vacation activity, this is the place to go to.

My 16-year-old son had a fantastic one-on-one surfing instruction. The location was a yellow tent at the side of the pier. I booked online in advance.

My daughter had a great time surfing with the instructor. He explained how to catch a wave and stood up on her first try. She had so much fun that we had to come back and do it again. Definitly worth every penny.

We absolutely loved our lessons with Hugo. He was awesome. We’re beginners and he explained it all so it was super easy (and didn’t laugh at us when we wiped out). The water wasn’t too cold and the current wasn’t too strong. We bought lessons online and it was all super easy. We’re coming back next time we’re in Cocoa Beach!

Our instructors were awesome! We had younger kids with us, and they stayed in the water with us the whole lesson, helping us as we were all beginners. We’d definitely recommend using these guys next time you are in Cocoa Beach!

We had the best time learning to surf! The instructors were knowledgeable, positive and fun. They made it so easy and this became a highlight of our trip! 10/10 recommend.

I had my 11 year old grandson take a 1 hr lesson taught by Franky. Franky spent 10 minutes on basics, paddling out, pop up etc. the rest of the Tim’s was in the water. My grandson was up and riding waves in 15 minutes. Well worth the $$$. Highly recommend Franky! Jim B

Had an amazing experience, the instructor Taylor was very insightful and a great teacher! Very encouraging and taught me very quickly.

Have been taking my 10 year old son to Cocoa Beach Surf School for the last two months! They do a fantastic job. All of the instructors have been terrific and patient. My son is really progressing!

Orion did an excellent job during our two hour lesson (for two beginners). He tailored his instruction well to both of us based on our abilities and passed on a love of the sport. Thank you!

We had THE BEST TIME learning to surf with our instructors. There were two guys who helped the four of us. They gave us the water safety lowdown and a quick how to about getting on the board and balancing. Then, they stood in the water and held our board (if we wanted) and told us when to paddle in order to catch the waves. They even gave me a push because I was too slow. Everything about the experience was perfect. I highly recommend the Cocoa Beach Surf Club. My kids are back out there today and loving life.

I was in Melbourne visiting and I had some time to spare, so I decided to take a quick surf lesson. I’m so glad I did! Becca was my instructor and I was fortunate enough to have a one-on-one experience. I took the 9am slot and the beach was almost empty, so it was a really great time to learn. Becca was super friendly and had a great attitude. She seemed to know everyone on the beach. She was patient with me and I was able to get up on my fourth attempt. It was awesome! If you’re in the area, I highly recommend this excursion and ask for Becca.

My boys 10 & 13 had never surfed. Nick was patient and encouraging. This is a private lesson, so for the money, I think they received excellent instruction. They have asked to rent boards again to surf 🏄‍♂️ 🏄‍♂️ Thanks to Nick, my boys now love surfing.

Great staff. Friendly and easy to work with, patient and knowledgeable not just about surfing but the area overall.

My daughter had private surf lesson with Dave . He was amazing! Experinced , teaching well , knowlagable ! Thank you for the fun and the experience ! See you next year !

My 13 year old granddaughter spent her time in the lesson with Nick. She loved every minute and it was well worth the cost. I wasn't ever worried about her safety. Anyone looking for a first time experience should invest in this experience. Nick helped a young teen from Texas mark an adventure off her bucket list and as she said "He was easy on the eyes! 😊"

We did our 2 hour lesson over 2 days due to conditions. The first day we really got bashed (high onshore winds, high tide, rip currents, moody sea) around but Amanda was super helpful & patient with us . CBSS rescheduled us to come back on a calmer day so our first experience would be great. We were so grateful they were so accommodating and understanding!! We went back a couple days later and Bryson had us in the water and catching waves in no time. We can’t say enough about how great the experience was, and how impressed we were from beginning to end. Amanda & Bryson and all of the CBSS staff who helped us were awesome! We will be renting some boards today to practice all we have learned and will be back for more lessons, for sure! Thank you so much!

Joe was excellent with our two teen-aged girls. They loved it and did great!!! We were able to just relax and let him teach them.

My 13yo daughter and I booked 2 hour lessons as first time surfers... it was an awesome experience! Kellar, our instructor, was patient, professional and kept the conversation lively. The beach and waves were awesome. After a brief safety intro and some practice popups,, we were in the warm water and surfing in no time. My daughter and I got to make some great memories, and try something new in the process... highly recommended for anyone to try!

My wife and I took a gamble and tried surfing for the first time. We had a blast!! The instruction provided by Meredith was outstanding. She was very patient and attentive. She even went surfing with us after she finished her lessons for the day. The entire Cocoa Beach Surf School staff were very welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed the experience. Many thanks to all.

Great, caring, attentive instructors. Very enjoyable time for all. All in the group got up on the board at least for a bit, with hunger to do more

Zoelle was an amazing instructor. He taught me all the best techniques and ensured I had the best experience possible. Thank you so much for the unforgettable feeling of actually catching those waves. I will be back 😊

Great experience! I’ve previously surfed so really took the lesson for someone to help me improve and watch out for me and the instructor did a great job of it! He gave me a lot of tips and really helped me move forward and became more hands off as I improved. Online reservations made it very easy and the fact that you have the board all day is great too. Highly recommend!

I’m not sure if this how every class goes but mine was a one-on-one class. The instructor was great, and he was definitely very patient with me! If you’re physically flexible and somewhat athletic you’ll definitely be able to be surfing and get plenty of time in within an hour. Otherwise, plan on doing two hours or more. I’d definitely do it again. They also sell umbrellas / beach chairs. Guys were very friendly and helpful and set it up for my family so they could watch me wipe out on the north side of the pier!

Great surf lesson! Straight forward and simple lessons that get you on the water quickly. Excellent instructor that was patient and taught at the level of the students. Very comfortable place to try for the first time.

Hugo was an amazing instructor! He went over every detail of the basics of surfing including the natural risks associated with the sport. I was standing within only a few minutes on the water and he even managed to teach me how to do a few cool tricks on the wave! If I could give it 6 stars I absolutely would, if you're shopping around for surf lessons in cocoa, this is the place to do it! Their prices are reasonable and their instructors are top-notch.
