Corky Carroll’s Surf Camp is located at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Huntington Beach, California. This consistent beach break (no rocks) has smaller wave sizes compared to other southern California surf breaks. With smaller crowds and NO aggressive locals, our surf camp provides conditions for a safer, easier, and more enjoyable way to learn to surf. The state beach also provides bathrooms and showers at our camp, along with plenty of parking and easy pick-up and drop-off.
Corky Carroll’s Surf School offer two separate surf camps. Which you choose depends on age and ocean confidence. Our regular Surf Camp is for ages 8+ and designed to help groms learn to surf on their own through a 3:1 instructor ratio. Our Junior Surf Camp is for ages 5+ and provides 1:1 surfing instruction designed for kids who aren’t quite ready to begin group surf lessons as part of our regular camp.
We want our campers to have the best experience possible. We teach the basics first on land, then get the students in the water and standing up in no time to grow more confident in the ocean and build their surf knowledge. We’ve run surf camps at the same location for over 25 years. At every camp, we use our proven teaching techniques to ensure they learn the proper fundamentals.
This weeklong camp is all about the boogie with a fun beach adventure vibe. We learn boogie boarding, gain ocean awareness, get comfortable in the waves, build sandcastles, and play games in the sand. Conditions permitting we may do a brief intro to surfboards and stand-up surfing for the kiddos towards the end of the week, but all-in-all we’ll be primarily boogie boarding.
