Halifax Surf School (Martinique Beach Kiosk)

A group of us were looking for a last minute adventure when I happened to come across the Halifax Surf School at Martinique Beach. A friendly phone call and next thing you know, 3 city folk were booked for surfing lessons!!!The drive from our Air B&B was gorgeous along the coastline. They are easy to find and it was just as easy to park.Wetsuits, booties and surfboards were included in the cost of the 1 hour lesson and they were able to use the equipment all afternoon.The owner was super friendly and made us feel totally welcome. Josh and Darcy were so patient and positively incredible instructors. You can tell they are passionate about surfing and want their students to have the very best experience. The waves were very large, unusually large and the fog was super thick but burned off quickly. Everything the instructors taught had student safety in mind. They had Alex, Jesika and Max comfortable with the equipment and these city folk were ready to ride the huge waves.We opted for the photo package and the beautiful Mel took photos from all angles. From getting ready to paddling to riding the waves!!I bought a wicked cool sweater at the Halifax Surfing School Surf Shop which is located right before the beach driveway.Our group had an amazing time and they can’t wait to surf again!!!This adventure was amazing!!! It beats sitting on a beach hands down!!Book with Halifax Surfing School, you will be glad you did!

Amazing experience! Josh was a great instructor. Surfing in October was awesome and surprisingly not to cold with the wet suit and booties. Nice beginner beach. Highlight of my trip. Change rooms and washrooms right off the beach

Halifax Surf School gave us a top notch first surf experience. My son and I went out for a lesson with rental, the process of booking was easy, they were quick to reply with questions (and you can text them!). Our instructor (Justin) was knowledgeable and patient and even gave us some extra time. It was obvious that the entire staff are passionate about surfing and most interested providing a great experience. I highly recommend!

Had such a great time renting here! Wonderful staff that were very helpful, would definitely come again

Bought my first wetsuit here. The staff was super helpful in picking a wetsuit to fit my body, they let us try the suits on before purchasing, and helped us look for additiinal surfing gear. We ended up renting surfboards from them and had a blast at the beach. Super affordable pricing for a whole day of fun! Definitely recommend.

I took my nieces for a surf lesson with Halifax Surf School, along with their Mom. Obviously there were differences in our agility levels, the girls were up surfing within minutes! Took a “bit “ longer for the elders, but Emma shoes lots of patience and the day was a huge success! The girls refer to that day as the best day of the summer! Will do it again, for sure!

Today we had a group of 6 boogie boarding at Martinique. I booked everything online easily the week previous. Communication after the booking was great. They were ready for us when we arrived and showed up as soon as we got there to get us sized for wetsuits etc. Their gear is very high quality - even in the frigid temps we stayed nice and warm. We dropped our gear off in bins that were left for us right by our parking lot, texted them to let them know we were on our way… easy! Was a great experience.

Mark and his staff are fantastic. Great lessons, rental gear, and the nicest beach you could ask for! Their shop and beach locations are conveniant and they will bend over backwards to make sure you have a perfect day (or for us, whole week) surfing. We've surfed with them on two separate vacations and can't wait to come back again. Thanks for a great week guys, hope to see you next year.

The guy running it was super accommodating. Had all the equipment all set up for when our group got there. He gave us a few pointers before we went out as well!It was a ton of fun and will definitely be going back.

The boys and I had a great day out on the water learning how to ride! The lesson from instruction Josh was extremely helpfull and fun! Staff is energetic and chill! Would recommend to anyone looking to learn how to surf!
