We understand that many people are busy during the week and we certainly do not want anyone to miss out on all of the fun. So, for those who do not have the flexibililty to participate in one of our weekday camps, we also offer weekend camps. These camps are identical to our weekday camps but are instead held on the weekends. Our weekend camps start Saturday and run through Sunday. And, on Saturdays, we throw an after dark luau with live music and a bonfire!

Private Lessons
Our Private Lessons allow one of our top level instructors to spend time, one on one with the student at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level; with personal coaching tips on how to raise their level of surfing and perform those maneuvers critical in reaching those goals set by the individual surfer.

The AC Surf School also hosts a variety of parties, including Birthday Parties and Corporate retreats and events. These events are tailored to the specific desires of that event coordinator and made cost effective for the group. These events are always a lot of fun for all.
