  If you want to learn to surf, Van Curaza Surf School is where you should go. Van and his instructors make it fun, safe and they’ll definitely have you up riding waves in no time! No matter what age or ability, you’ll have a great time learning to surf with VCSS!

  Van is an outstanding instructor. He is passionate about teaching, and is a dedicated and experienced instructor. He took my wife and I for a lesson, and tailored his teaching to us based on our individual levels. He not only hammered home the fundamentals, but helped me develop a sixth sense for feeling the ocean. On a practical note, he outfitted us with quality wet suits that kept us plenty comfortable for surfing in cooler weather. I highly recommend him.
