Founded in 2009 by Catherine Bruhwiler, lifelong Tofino local and Canada's first female professional surfer, we specialize in personalized surf lessons for families, couples and groups of friends, from beginners to experienced surfers. All equipment is included, with lessons tailored to your group's abilities and goals.
