About this experience

Surf Lessons in Ocho Rios is a beginner-friendly surf school located on the north coast of Jamaica, offering practical instruction on the island's gentle waves. The lessons are led by certified local surfers who provide all necessary equipment, including boards and reef-safe rash vests. Each session is structured to teach paddling, standing, and wave-reading skills in the warm Caribbean water.

What to expect

  • Two-hour group or private lesson on the beach at Ocho Rios, with a 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio for groups.
  • Includes soft-top surfboard, leash, and rash vest; wetsuit not required due to water temperature averaging 28°C.
  • Starts with a 20-minute land-based tutorial on stance and safety, followed by 90 minutes in the water with guided pushes.
  • Participants typically catch their first wave within the first 30 minutes, riding white-water waves up to 1 metre high.
  • Suitable for ages 8 and up; non-swimmers can join using a flotation belt and stay in shallow water (waist-deep).
  • Post-lesson photo review on a tablet to correct form, with digital photos available for purchase at the on-site kiosk.
