East Coast Surf School

We had an epic day! Such friendly and positive staff who took their time to teach our kids the surfing basics! The instructors were genuinely happy to see the kids succeed and the smiles on the kids faces was priceless! Awesome rates, great gear, beautiful beach and perfect waves! Thank you for making our first surfing experience so great! We will be back!

Who would have thought Surfing in Canada would be that fun?To be really honest when I first heard about surfing in the Halifax area I was shocked that they actually had this event in Canada. I didn’t know that this was a searched out location for Surfers around the world.As we pulled up to the location I was shocked to see the size of the waves. Excitement and worry ran through my body as we started to prepare and get ready to learn to surf for the first time. Our family was greeted with warm smiles and excitement from the East Coast Surf School staff, they were beyond excited to teach us the fundamentals of surfing.Equipment was well cared for and the support on how to put on the “wetsuits” was great (even though I put mine on backwards). The staff (teachers) were incredible with my girls (both 12 years of age) getting them down on their bellies to learn to swim and get into the right position to handle a wave. They were super polite and CRAZY helpful for all steps.They took such good care of my family and kids, after 20-30 min of on land lessons we took to the water and learned how to hit the waves! It was a true experience and we would highly suggest it.My girls say it was the highlight of our trip to Nova Scotia and we would truly suggest that you try this adventure with your family, I guarantee you that you will love it, your kids will love it and enjoy the adventure.Nova Scotia is a beautiful location to visit with so many wonderful activities for families. We suggest you take the time and visit this AMAZING province and see the world they offer.

Great Customer Service! Really helped me out when I forgot my longboard Fin! A+

Had the best experience with the east coast surf school! Everyone was welcoming and friendly! Spectacular instructors as well, they will have you up standing and riding a wave in no time! Very knowledgeable and really care about the clients having a fun day! Best surf experience I have had in the world and would recommend this place to everyone!!

The guys at East Coast Surf School were amazing. I took a large group and we got everyone suited up, prepped and after a little land lesson, we were in the water in no time. Friendly, knowledgeable and stoked. Thank you to Nico and the entire team.

My family and i had an amazing experience with East Coast Surf School. Simple phone call to book a spot for the 5 of us. Greeted by a couple enthusiastic staff members on our arrival to the tent. Provided with wetsuits and boards that were in great condition and sized accordingly. The fun then begins as you walk over the boardwalk with your instructor to your surf location. Our instructor Jacob worked wonderfully with our daughters aged 7, 10 and 11 and my wife and I. We were provided with a great lesson built first on surf safety and technique. As you can see by the pic at the end of the hour even the young ones got up on waves!! Cant say enough great people, great gear, great location!

East Coast Surf School was awesome! Easy to find, customer service was great, knowledgeable staff, awesome surf conditions, with quality suits and boards. complete beginners or seasoned surfer these guys will hook you up. Would recommend to all my fellow adrenaline junkies! Big thanks to our boy Keith for keeping us on the right side of our boards for most of the lesson!

We had a truly excellent experience with East Coast Surf School, our instructors were so friendly and knowledgeable. We were a group of 8 and even though there were many of us, our instructors worked hard to make sure each of us got lots of help and attention. We had a great time continuing to surf after our instructors left us at the end of the lesson, most of us were surfing for the first time and it was the best way to get introduced to surfing in a safe and *really* fun environment.

I rent regularly from East Coast rentals and they’re always my first choice to take friends and family out on the waves!! The staff is friendly and kind, service is always great, and good quality boards and wetsuits.

We’ve been bringing our international college students here for almost a decade now, summer after summer! East Coast Surf School provides quality instructions with experienced instructors who are patient, friendly and full of stoke :) Not to mention their equipment is top quality and the location ideal. We’ve brought groups as large as 18 and smaller groups of 5-6 and have never been disappointed- I would 100% recommend book a lesson with East Coast Surf School!
