Do you offer photography?

Yes! We take photos & videos during each lesson. Often the water photographer is one of our instructors and provides an added service of providing wave coaching, post-wave coaching and assistance. They help to keep the lesson organized.

We have photo packages available for purchase before & after the lesson. Footage purchased prior to the lesson start time includes a prepaid discount. We take footage of all of our students whether they prepay for the footage or not. We do not share your photos with other parties.
