Sommers Surf Lessons

Have you always wanted to learn how to surf but not sure how to get started?

Are you too intimidated to try surfing on your own?

Are you a mom who wants to be able to surf with your kids and/or husband?

Since 2009, Michelle Sommers has been specializing in offering surf lessons and camps for women of all ages in the Maryland and Delaware beach areas. 

Learn the basics of surfing in a safe environment with the area's best female surf instructor.

Michelle has an agreement to provide surf lessons at Assateague State Park, and was the only one with a permit to offer lessons there for nearly 13 years. 

Due to ever-changing sandbars throughout the year, lessons may also be offered in Ocean City, Maryland and/or Fenwick Island, Delaware.

Surf lessons and camps are dependent on weather & surf conditions, and scheduled around the daily tide each day. 

Lessons are offered every day of the week in season as long as conditions are safe and fun for beginners.

Lessons are also available for guys and teenagers (ages 13 and up!)

A Surf Lesson with Michelle.....

Michelle offers personal instruction for the beginner surfer in small groups of 1-4.  All surf lessons begin on the beach with the basics - safety, paddling techniques, surf etiquette, wave & water knowledge - and then venture out into the water to get comfortable on the board.  

A soft-top surfboard is provided for your lesson or you may prefer to use your own.  Lessons are only conducted in small surf conditions.

All you need is a comfortable swimsuit, boardshorts and/or rashguard, a towel, plenty of sunscreen and willingness to relax and have fun!

Due to changes in beach & sandbars, locations for the surf lessons & camps will be determined at the beginning of the season.  Lessons may be scheduled May thru October, and times will vary depending on tides and schedule.

Surf lessons and camps may be held at Assateague State Park or in Ocean City, Maryland. This depends on sandbars and tides.  Currently, I am the only instructor in the area with an agreement that allows me to offer my lessons at Assateague State Park. Assateague offers the best waves in the area for beginners when the sandbars cooperate.    

Lessons and camps run approx. 60-90 minutes in length and are dependent on weather and surf conditions.  

Michelle is AED Certified for Adult & CPR Certified for Adults, Children & Infants through the American Red Cross.
