Things To Know

  • There are fun options for all levels of surfing ability.
  • We recommend professionals bring their own equipment and wear short leashes. There is a good chance of some minor dings, so leave your favorite board at home.
  • Start with a bigger board because having the right equipment at Skudin Surf American Dream is key. Look through our complimentary quiver online or during your session. Here is a link to our Quiver
  • The A-frame waves are a great way to start your session and double your group’s wave count; these waves are also good for a wider range of surfing ability.
  • A fast pop-up and being able to create speed is critical for surfing our advanced wave settings.
  • The more time you allow between waves, the better the quality. We like to let the water settle for one minute when switching wave types. 
  • It’s hot and sunny during the day. Be prepared for summer heat and sunshine through the skylight. (You cannot get sunburnt!)
  • Please paddle back along one of the walls after your wave and apply your basic surf etiquette.
  • Don’t dive; there is a cement bottom.
