Surfing suggestions

[kimbe21]

Hello! We will be in Southern Cali the first week of June. My husband wants to take my DD7 and DD6 to surfing lessons. I don't think DD6 will go but DD7 is very excited about it!

We will be staying in a timeshare is Escondido. Any suggestions on best places for surf lessons for children?

First off, you'll definitely need a car (I assume you'll have a car?) Escondido is rather far inland (you won't be walking to the ocean). The closest place where you'll want to look for surfing lessons will be the Encinitas/Cardiff area. I can't recommend any specific shops, but there are several (look on Groupon for some deals - they're on there quite often).

I can reference you to many many many great surfing beaches and rental shops in San Diego itself, but my experience with north county is less extensive. Good luck

(oh - by the way, if you're staying in Escondido be sure to check this place out! http://sdzsafaripark.org/)

You really can't do much better than San Diego Surf School. Ask for Denice - she's great with kids.
