Question 1

Do I need to know how to swim to take surf lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. Beginner lessons are conducted in waist-deep water where you can easily stand, so advanced swimming skills are not strictly necessary. However, water comfort is important for a positive experience.

Question 2

What equipment is provided for surf lessons?

Accepted Answer

E Street Surf School provides a surfboard and a wetsuit for every student if needed. Students only need to bring a swimsuit, a towel, and sunscreen.

Question 3

Where is the meeting location for lessons?

Accepted Answer

Most lessons start and finish at Common Roots in Rye (2203 Ocean Boulevard). Arrangements can also be made to meet at 8th Street at 'The Wall' in Hampton, provided we have height and weight details in advance for gear sizing.

Question 4

What is the youngest age for kids surf lessons?

Accepted Answer

We have taught children as young as 4 years old. For safety, children ages 4-6 must book private one-on-one lessons to ensure they receive the specialized, hands-on attention they need.

Question 5

When is the best time to book a summer surf camp?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend contacting us in January or February to express interest. Formal sign-ups occur in February and March, and our calendar fills quickly due to our small 3:1 student-to-instructor ratio.

Question 6

Are your instructors safety certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every instructor is CPR certified and our team includes trained Hampton lifeguards, ensuring a premier, safety-first environment for all students.

Question 7

Can businesses sign up for Team Building or HR Days?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer specialized Team Building Surf Days for local businesses looking to boost morale. Visit our Business Team Building page or contact us to plan your corporate adventure.

Question 8

Is there food and Wi-Fi at your location?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are located inside Common Roots in Rye, which offers free Wi-Fi and a full cafe menu with smoothie bowls, vegan options, coffee, beer, and wine.

Question 9

When are Ladies Night dates announced?

Accepted Answer

Ladies Night dates are typically announced in February or March. We frequently add more dates throughout the season to accommodate high demand.

Question 10

What is the best way to contact you in the summer?

Accepted Answer

The fastest way to reach us is by text at 603-770-5308, as cell signals are often stronger than voice signals near the beach. You can also visit us at Common Roots in Rye.
