With every summer’s end comes that familiar pang of regret: Wasn’t this the year I was going to do more stuff outdoors, like surfing? Instead of sitting here, reading charming newsletters that suggest I do more stuff outdoors, like surfing?

Yes, it was. And it’s not too late for hanging ten with Skudin Surf, NY’s premier surfing school, with end-of-summer lessons available now.

Founded by two professional big-wave surfer bros (also real-life bros!) who’ve ripped massive curls at Maverick’s and Waimea Bay, Skudin provides everything you need, including wipeout-friendly padded “soft-top” longboards, and programs to fit every skill level and schedule:

    • Weekend Group Classes – for all ages, with one instructor to every three surfers

    • Multi-day Camps – full or half-week sessions through the end of August, for adults or kids

    Skudin has two convenient locations at Long Beach and Rockaway Beach, plus offers stand-up paddleboard courses and week-long camps in Costa Rica.
