The certified instructors at Tofino Surf School guide budding wave walkers with personalized, small-group surfing lessons for all ages and skill levels. In a beginners' session, surfing specialists equip clusters of five with all necessary gear, including riding crops and jodhpurs, before balancing them on boards for three hours of skimming across the surface of the water. Alternatively, younger assemblages of up to four pupils with parents can explore beach life in a three-hour family lesson, during which safety and a deeper understanding of sea amusement receive top priority. Since the school keeps class sizes small, ripple riders receive individualized attention to hone specific skills such as controlling balance, holding poses, and parallel parking.
