We’ve been taking the 2 person class with him and it’s been very fun and productive > From Duy, 5 out of 5 > That lesson with Parker was quite helpful, especially since he took time to clarify some surf techniques I hadn’t fully grasped before. Though I still need to work on catching waves more consistently, I feel like I'm slowly improving thanks to his calm approach. Still, I look forward to building on that and maybe focusing more on timing next time. If you're after a relaxed, practical lesson that helps develop good habits, Parker's a good option to consider. > From Jason, 5 out of 5 > Wow, Parker's a really cool guy and super down to earth as a teacher, which made the lesson feel pretty relaxed. His approach definitely stood out to me. Still, I think working on getting the pop-up down and right when I get on the wave would really make a difference. Overall, I felt like I learned a lot, and I’d suggest giving Parker a shot if you’re after a laid-back but effective surf lesson. > From Nathen, 5 out of 5 > 1 session in and I already feel more comfortable in the water. Parker provided such a calm and safe presence throughout our session. His knowledge and skill was evident, he looks just as comfortable in the water as he does on land! He was also so patient and encouraging. I will happily be continuing my sessions with him. > From Jessica, 5 out of 5 > Parker is the GOAT. I took 7+ lessons with him and each one of them were worth it. His way of instruction by the time I took my last lesson made everything click together. He is a great at explaining things and gets straight to the point. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to surf. > From Raymond, 5 out of 5 > Parker was awesome at talking through things with me on wave selection. He helped me learn which waves to take, which direction to paddle, where to be out in the line up, and I learned a lot. Looking forward to the next lesson to keep progressing. > From Trevor, 5 out of 5 > I had tried surf camps in the past but it never seemed to click. Parker’s enthusiasm and passion for surfing really helped me connect with the ocean. I felt like I was actually surfing and not just going through the movements! > From Sarah, 5 out of 5 > Really love how Parker gave me detailed feedback and when he demonstrated what he walking about. Definitely improved in one session and would recommend to anyone interested in surfing! > From Alex, 5 out of 5 ## Frequently asked questions ### Will the instructor have equipment I can use? Yes! If you need a surfboard, I have two longboards and a shortboard you can use. If you have your own board, I am happy to teach you on that as well. I do not provide wetsuits though. Message me for help on renting or buying one 🤙 ### Do I need to know how to swim? Nope! Many of the best beginner spots are super shallow. So, you will be able to stand the whole time. ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/services/index.md) - [Surfing Lessons](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/private-lessons/index.md) - [Group Lessons](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/group-lessons/index.md) - [Lessons in Huntington Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/areas/huntington-beach) - [Lessons in Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/areas/newport-beach) - [Goldenwest, Huntington Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/goldenwest-huntington-beach) - [Huntington St., Huntington Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/huntington-st-huntington-beach) - [Huntington State Beach, Huntington Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/huntington-state-beach-huntington-beach) - [Huntington State Beach - Magnolia Street, Huntington Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/huntington-state-beach-magnolia-street-huntington-beach) - [Newland St., Huntington Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/newland-st-huntington-beach) - [40th Street, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/40th-street-newport-beach) - [54th Street Beach, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/54th-street-beach-newport-beach) - [Balboa Pier, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/balboa-pier-newport-beach) - [Blackies, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/blackies-newport-beach) - [Newport Pier, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/newport-pier-newport-beach) - [Newport Surf Camp, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/newport-surf-camp-newport-beach) - [Santa Ana River Jetties Beach, Newport Beach](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/locations/santa-ana-river-jetties-beach-newport-beach) - [Blog](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/blog/index.md) - [Best Surf Lessons Newport Beach With Parker Monroe](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/blog/best-surf-lessons-newport-beach/index.md) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/parker-monroe/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Parker Monroe sells Surfing lessons on this site.
