I don’t speak English well, is that okay? What language do the instructor speak?

Yes, it is okay. Our instructors are accustomed to working with non-english speakers. We use visual aids to help explain surfing.

We have instructors who speak Japanese, Korean and Spanish and many of our instructors know surf instruction basics in multiple languages including Japanese, Spanish, Korean, and Sign Language. Our safety presentation and waivers are also available in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
