    Viking Surf Camp taught my daughter to surf in just a few days- and she was five! Over the past three years they have continued to teach her how to surf so well and she does better each time she goes! We absolutely love it!

    It was a very personalized experience. Darlan was friendly, encouraging, patient, and so much fun! He made our first experience with surfing fantastic! He even put together a cute video afterwards of our surfing experience. Definitely worth the time and money and we would 100% go back for another lesson next time we are in town!

    We took surf lessons while our holidays in Florida. It was a great experience and we had so much fun with Darlan. We learned a lot and would like to take more lessons someday.

    Darlan really gives his entire heart when he teaches you how to surf. He is a great teacher on the technical aspects of surfing, but he adds that extra measure of care, encouragement, and mentor ship! I’ve taken adult lessons and loved them, and my sons have benefitted greatly by taking lessons to. He’s our family surf coach and we consider ourselves lucky that he is a very art of our lives!

    What a great experience this camp is. The kids have a ton of fun while learning all the skills necessary for the sport. I highly recommend this camp to anyone with very active and not so active kids. The program is designed to get them all moving, learning and having a lot of fun. Darlan is an amazing instructor.

    Frequently asked questions

    First, we identified in what level the student is, so we can start working with the student. By knowing a little more of the student activities related to sport and fitness we can best work with the student. 

    I surf for over 35 years in many different breaks around the World, have competed and free surf in many international venues you can be assured that you will have the best instructor to teach you how to surf.

    Private lessons $75.00 1 hour (1surfer)

    semi-private lesson $100.00 1 hour (2 surfers)

    group lessons $180.00 1 1/2  hour (1-4 surfers)

    we can create packages accordingly to how many people, hours and number of lessons.

    I started when working at a surf shop, and when I open our surf camp, about 5 years ago, but I have been giving surf lessons for decades. I also coach kids and adults for surfing competition or just to get better on surfing. 

    all types and all ages starting at 4 years old.

    do a little research on the instructor, look for his review and book just one lesson and see for yourself. 

    they should ask anything that concerns them related to the ocean, waves and etc.
