Surfer walking the nose of a longboard on a clean Santa Teresa wave

The Beach Boys

A small, locally owned surf school in Santa Teresa. We surf here every day and we love sharing it.

Isaac, founder and head coach at The Beach Boys

Isaac

Isaac was born and raised on this coast. He grew up fishing with his grandfather, spotted his first surfers from the boat as a kid, and never looked back.

He has been coaching here for almost a decade. Kind, humble and patient, and the loudest one cheering when you catch your wave.

He runs the school with a crew of local instructors who know these waves inside out. They will make you laugh, look after you in the water and show you their town.

What matters to us

Every coach is local, and the money you spend stays with the people who live here.

Small groups, so everyone gets attention and nobody is fighting for waves.

The ocean makes the call. We choose the beach for the tide and your level, and move the session if the day is not right.
