Why Charleston is an Excellent Place to Learn to Surf

Beautiful beaches and manageable waves make Charleston an excellent place to learn to surf. Isla Surf School's experienced instructors give guests the knowledge and practical tips needed to ride waves the first time out. 

Surf Lesson Location and Availability

Charleston Surf Lessons is located at the tent on the beach just behind the Tides Hotel (1 Center Street) on Folly Beach. The instructors offer lessons from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. seven days a week. Guests can walk up to the tent to inquire about availability, but lessons are first come, first served, so it is best to schedule your surf lesson ahead of time if possible.

What Your Surf Lesson Includes

All lessons include 10-15 minutes of beach orientation and instruction. During this time, guests will learn about ocean awareness and safety, surfing etiquette, equipment, paddling, and a 3-Step "Pop Up" technique.

Following beach orientation, guests will enjoy one hour of water time riding the waves. While out on the water, folks will learn how to apply surfing techniques, sit on the surfboard correctly, look for and find that perfect wave, and ride while keeping themselves and others safe on the waves.

For each guest participating in the lesson, a surfboard and leash will be provided. Charleston Surf Lessons will also provide rashguards for extra sun and skin protection out on the water for guests who would like them.

Things You'll Want to Bring to the Beach

Swimsuit and sunscreen. Also recommended are a bottle of water, towel, sandals, and a change of clothes in case you want to pop into BLU restaurant or one of the other fine establishments on Folly Beach.

Client Testimonials

  • A Charleston resident suggested a Traveling Ink concierge might be able to help me. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was one of the best pieces of advice I could have received. My friends thought I was an organizational wizard even though I kept telling them it was Traveling Ink, not me.

    ~ Nicky H.

  • We so enjoyed our time in Charleston. Thank you for all your insight! I am recommending your services to everyone I know who is traveling to Charleston!

    ~Kathryn C.

  • Traveling Ink planned the three full days we would have in Charleston, how we would get from one place to another, places to eat, and what the costs would be. To add to the challenge, we had to change the day of one of the main attractions because rain had been predicted. They handled all the changes with out missing a step.

    ~ Harriett H.

  • These Charleston pros do a phenomenal job in any setting. Audra was our point person and is a pleasure to work with. She is laid back and can work with any request.
