Santa Cruz’s “East Side” is a neighborhood jam-packed with world class surf breaks. There are over 10 spots walkable from our 41st Avenue Traveler location that vary in difficulty from beginner to expert. Our intermediate Surf Coaching experience is designed to hone the skills of surfers who want to level up.
With the purchase of an Intermediate Coaching session, you’ll receive a 2 hour private lesson with a local expert that will work with you no the specific skills you are looking to improve whether its turning, noseriding, cross-stepping, shortboarding or simply gaining more confidence and setting new personal challenges.
Please Note: This session is different from beginner lessons! The Coaching Sessions are designed for intermediate surfers who are comfortable and independent in the water. (See definitions below)

These coaching sessions are intended for surfers that can paddle out and catch their own waves. Sessions are tailored for your needs and goals.
Intermediate Surfer Definitions: "An intermediate surfer is a surfer who can successfully paddle out alone at a familiar location and catch and ride waves to a logical finish frontside or backside, confidently using the three basic surfing turns – bottom turn, top turn and cutback." -Surfline's Nick Carrol
"An intermediate surfer is a surfer who has mastered the basics of paddling, popping up, and riding cleanly across the open face of a wave." -Malibupopoyo.com
