Family Surf Trips
We take families surfing. Not a tour bus and a rental board, but a trip built around your family with your own professional surfer, teacher, and coach travelling with you.
Surf coaching, good times, big smiles, and a real surf vacation with your family or your partner. Ryan plans it, Ryan comes with you, and Ryan coaches every session once you get there.
01: The destinations
Where we go
Ryan has surfed almost every ocean in the world through competition and free surfing, and the trips run to the places he knows well enough to keep a family safe in.
- California
- Puerto Rico
- Costa Rica
- Bali
- Hawaii
If you have somewhere else in mind, call and ask. The answer depends on the season, the swell, and whether he knows the breaks well enough to take your family into them.
02: What the trip includes
What Ryan handles
The breaks, and which are safe
Choosing where your family paddles out is the whole job. Ryan picks the spots by season and swell, knows the breaks at each destination, and puts beginners somewhere they can learn instead of somewhere they can get hurt.
Coaching for every generation
From grandparents to young kids, coaching happens on the sand first and then in the water, at whatever level each person in the family is actually at.
Hotels and getting around
Ryan finds the accommodation and the pricing, and handles exchanging money once you are there. Thirty years of travelling to surf is thirty years of learning where the costs hide.
Boards, including custom ones
He can arrange custom surfboards before you travel, shaped by some of the best shapers in the world, or have boards waiting for you at some destinations so you are not flying with them.
03: Start the conversation
Ask about the next trip
Trips are planned one family at a time, so the fastest way to start is a phone call. Tell Ryan who is coming, what everyone's surfing level is, and roughly when you can travel.
