Adult Surf
Camp.
5 spots left. That's the whole summer. Learn to surf in one weekend — or your second weekend is free. Two and a half days at Nahant's protected beginner beach, with small groups, long sessions, and coaches who've taught hundreds of first-timers to their feet. Just you, the Atlantic, and everything you need to stand up and stay up.
What campers actually say.
Unedited, straight from the people who showed up nervous and left hooked.
I signed up for Boston Surf Adventures weekend camp on a whim, and it was truly a great decision! Grant, who runs the camp, is a really kind person who is SO passionate about surfing. Our groups were small, and my coach, Christine, gave me a lot of great tips on how to better my form and was super supportive. Something that’s really amazing about this camp is that the coaches are really passionate about teaching people how to be self-sufficient surfers and feel comfortable to surf on their own. Our camp cohort has already made multiple plans to get together and surf! I have already recommended the camp to a number of my friends and could not stress enough how much joy it has brought me!
If I could give Boston Surf Adventures 10 stars, I would. Grant + co are amazing
instructors: insightful, encouraging, and SO knowledgeable. They’ll meet you where you
are and never push you past your limits, but they will push you just enough that
you’re guaranteed to learn the basics of surfing in a matter of days.
Surf Camp was a summer highlight, and I’d recommend that anyone looking to surf in
the New England area come to Boston Surf Adventures. I’ll definitely be back for more.
Boston Surf Adventures is doing an amazing job building a supportive, fun surf community. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and great at helping you improve without pressure. The camp has such a good vibe — it’s a great way to learn, connect, and just enjoy being in the water.
One weekend with Boston Surf Adventures and I caught the bug! The coaches are amazing and I felt I made huge progress during the weekend surf camp. Can’t wait to go back!
I had the most fun weekend at surf camp with Boston Surf Adventures! The coaches were encouraging and patient and gave targeted feedback, which created a really supportive learning environment. They were game to answer all of our surfing-related questions and the small coach-to-student ratio allowed us to catch waves pretty continuously. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to try surfing or learn new skills.
