Our school offers only the finest surfboards and wetsuits for our lessons, in every size for children, women, and men. We offer a full range of hard, soft, epoxy and fiberglass surfboards. We teach our students with the best in quality full and shorty wetsuits.

Our lesson rate is SIMPLE. A single, private lesson which includes a full wetsuit, surfboard, and instruction for 1 hour (water time) is $75.00. We would need you to reserve your lesson at least two days in advance. All lessons take place a the Narragansett Town Beach unless conditions are better at another break.

Your name, height, weight, and foot size, and contact information is required to prepare properly for a successful lesson.  

Du​e to customer abuses in the past (repeated no-shows) we are now requesting full payment in advance for all lessons.  Upon booking a lesson by phone (401-789-7890/Narragansett Surf and Skate) or by email ([email protected] or [email protected]) you have two options.  You can either pay immediately or up to two days in advance of the lesson.  If the lesson is not paid for two days in advance, it is cancelled.

For a group of 2 students, the rate drops to$125.00 per person.  For larger groups up to 10,  the rate drops to $60.00 per person. For more than 10 students, the rate drops to $50.00 each. 

For a special rate of only $10.00, you can keep your equipment for the rest of the day.

Please note that due to the equipment and labor, 2023 winter surfing lessons are more money, as indicated above.  We now charge $75.00 for a private surfing lesson that requires full winter gear. For groups of 2-10, the rat​e is $60.00 and for larger groups it is$50.00.

Students meet at the Narragansett Surf Shop to get changed, which is much more comfortable than attempting to do it at the beach. While winter surfing is awesome, and we go out all the time, it takes a lot more effort for us to teach you.

Single and group surfboard and wetsuit rentals are available all year long. We drop off and pick up larger groups for no extra charge. Small rental groups and single rentals can be picked up at the Narragansett Surf Shop. A combined rental including a surfboard, leash, and full wetsuit (boot, gloves, etc. if needed) is $50.00 for the day. Either a surfboard or wetsuit that is rented separately is $30.00 for the day. Half-day rentals are the same price as full day rentals. In winter months, we require a $25.00 deposit in advance to have a suit ready at the surf shop the next day. In the winter, a full suit set up rental is $40.00.

SUP Rentals

We rent stand up paddle boards all year long.  We offer a full line of Tahe/SIC-Maui rental boards which include both flat water (Cross models), surf (Performers), and touring or racing (FX Pro, etc.). SUP rental including a leash and paddle is $75.00 per day.  Weekly rate is $250.00.  We will deliver weekly rate boards to area locations at no charge.

We also offer a Surfing Crash Course that involves two days of solid surfing in both beach and reef breaks. $250.00 includes two two hour sessions with long and short boards. Fee includes surfboard, wetsuit and lessons. Student can keep equipment for duration of course.

Please Note that....

There is no problem if you decide to cancel or postpone. We would just appreciate it if you let us know a day in advance.

It is recommended that students be in good physical condition before they take on a surfing class. Surfing is a very difficult sport that requires lots of cardio power, flexibility, and good upper body strength.

Our Summer

2023 Surf

And Skimboard

Surfing Camp Series

Matunuck Point

South Kingstown

Group Camp Series 

Our surfing school and the Town of South Kingstown Recreation Department has been operating a highly successful four-day surfing camp series at the world famous Matunuck Point reef break for 14 consecutive summers.

This summer we are offering the sessions for nine consecutive weeks. Surfers are dropped off at the Town of South Kingstown Town Beach between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM and picked up between 2:30 PM and 3 PM. Each surfer is supplied with a clean and fitted wetsuit, and a surfboard for their ability level and size. There is a professional ESA qualified surf instructor for every 5-6 participant.

Surfers are instructed in water safety, paddling, and are in the water surfing all day...every day. On the last day of the surfing sessions, a fun contest takes place, and trophies are awarded to the top finishers.

W​e can snail mail or email camp forms to you anytime!  Do it today.

This 2023 summer's dates are as follows: July 3-6th, July 10-13, July 17-20, July 24-27, July 31-August 3, August 7-10, August 14-17,  August 21-24, and August 28-31 . Surfers must sign up in advance. Class limit is 25 per session. Fee is $310.00. Surfers can be signed up by either contacting the Peter Pan Surf Academy or by contacting the Town of South Kingstown Recreation Department at 401-789-9301. 

It is recommended that you sign up directly on the Town of South Kingstown Recreation Department website to assure a spot in the camp. Once the maximum camper capacity of 25 is reached, you will go on a wait list. Before you try signing up online, call the recreation department and you must get a password to register.  It is free.  It would be advisable to sign up sooner than later.  We have already had quite a few sign-ups this winter. Do not call the Recreation Center.  Call the main desk for camp forms.  If you still have trouble, email or call us at Peter Pan Surfing Academy.

This camp runs from 10 AM to 1 PM.  Drop off is between 9:30 AM and 10 AM and pick up is between 1 PM and 1:15 PM.

Narragansett

Surf Camps

Our popular surf camp resumes operations this summer at the town beach. We will be happy to send you out a camp application anytime. Camp runs at the surfing end of the Narragansett Town Beach in perfect learning conditions.

Narragansett Surf Camps runs on the same weeks as the South Kingstown camps, with an added week of June 26-29.  We can email you out a camp form anytime.

Camper drop off will be at the South Beach Pavilion entrance at the Narragansett Town Beach. Camper pick up will be at the same location. Campers will then meet at our surf camp truck, which will be located in the parking lot at that end of the beach to collect their gear.

Drop off is between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM and pick up is between 2:45 PM and 3:00 PM. In case of inclement weather, make up day is on Friday of that week.

Our Narragansett camp takes campers as young as 7 years old, as long as they are not afraid of the water.  We try to place campers in their own age group categories, unless they request to be with friends in their own groups. Campers must be able to swim at some level to attend camp.  

Surfers will be supplied with clean wetsuits and surfboards for the four day sessions. Camp fee for the week is $395.00. We will be happy to snail mail or email  you out a camp application form. Once the camp limit of 30 is reached, you will be placed on a wait list.  Feel free to email or call anytime with questions or camp form requests.
