Our Approach

Feel Free Surf School has been helping individuals progress their surf skills and develop their style for more than 12 years. We believe that surfing aligns our mind, body, and spirit in harmony with the ocean and surrounding nature. Community is at the core of who we are at Feel Free. By combining connection to self, the ocean and each other, we provide an intentional experience for beginners to advanced surfers in which catching waves is only the beginning!

“You'll initially come for the waves, but you'll keep coming back because of the community.”
