Accommodations

If you need accommodations, Adventure Out recommends the Pacifica Beach Hotel in Pacifica. It is just across the street from the beach and offers a 10% discount to Adventure Out clients!  Contact the hotel directly and tell them you are taking lessons with us to receive the discount.

Travel Companions
This is a group/public class.  In order to maintain cheaper pricing than our private lessons, we require a minimum of 2 people in the class (as stated on our website).  While it is rare, if you are the only person registered in your group surf class, we will contact you in advance and offer you a free reschedule or the opportunity to pay for an upgrade to a private lesson.


Guide(s)

Our instructors are all C.P.R. and First-Aid certified - senior instructors are lifeguard certified.  All Adventure Out instructors have a minimum 10 years of experience and are ready to teach you the basics of surfing. IMPORTANT LABOR LAW NOTICE: Employees are entitled to take a 10 minute break during their work shift.  Sometimes based on their daily schedule this falls in the middle of a lesson. We always do our best to schedule staff such that breaks fall before/after lessons and or there are other instructors on site to fill in. But occasionally we have not choice but to take a short break on the beach during the lesson. We thank you in advance for understanding - please do not get upset with our staff or encourage them to skip the rest break if it occurs during your lesson - it is the law.

Transportation
Adventure Out does not provide transportation to the beach.  However there are several options in addition to driving:
-Get a ride from Lyft!  Adventure Out has partnered with Lyft to get new users a ride credit towards your first ride.  Click here: https://www.lyft.com/invited/adventureout - sign up with Lyft , courtesy of Adventure Out!
-The SamTrans bus (www.samtrans.com) offers direct service to the beach.  Exit the bus at the last Pacifica stop called the "Linda Mar Park n' Ride".  This is only a 1/2 block from the beach.  To access the samtrans bus from the city, taking the BART train (www.bart.gov) to Daly City is an excellent option.

Money

Your clinic will be reserved and paid for ahead of time - there is no need to remit payment at the beach.  However, our guides work very hard to show you a good time and do accept gratuities - it is an excellent way to show thanks for a good class.

All equipment needed for surfing is provided by Adventure Out (wetsuit, surfboard, and booties).  Come prepared with normal beach items:
-Towel
-Swimsuit
-Sunscreen
-Snacks & Water (optional)

***PLEASE ARRIVE WITH YOUR SWIMSUIT ALREADY ON and sunscreen already applied so that we can put wetsuits on quickly over them and head down on the beach. It can dramatically slow things down and reduce the amount of time you get to spend in the water if we have to wait for people to go in to the restroom 1 at a time to change.
