About
Corky Carroll's Surf School is the original surf school of Huntington Beach. For over 25 years, we've provided surf lessons, surf camps and surfboard rentals. Our surf lessons are for all levels and ages, held year-round and include board and wetsuit. Our surf camps are for kids ages 4-13 during the Summer. Our surfboard rentals are available year round, and we're the only rental you can reserve ahead online. Our surf school is family owned and operated. We were started in 1996 by local Huntington Beach surfer Rick Walker with the help of surf legend Corky Carroll -- the first ever professional surfer.

Corky Carroll's Surf School was the best decision our company made for our Beach Weekend! Patrick and Wes the surf instructors were so great and patient and catered to our inexperienced crew. They even picked us up an hour earlier because of traveling requests. Kelsey was so helpful. What a memorable day! They even gave us doughnuts :)

Today we had a family surf lesson with Corky Carroll’s Surf School. Our ages ranged from 49 - 6yrs old. The instructors were kind, fun and very supportive. Would highly recommend Corky’s. We will be back. Thank you!

The instructors are all excellent and look after you incredibly well, we wouldnt go anywhere else!!! A special mention to Canning as he is Hollys favorite and always takes very good care of her every time we are there.

My 3 kids (14, 12, 9) came for the first time last year and couldn't wait to come again this year. Weather and water was colder this year and I was worried on the first day but they had so much fun it didn't matter.
The staff are great and very accommodating.
FYI, my kids are decent swimmers (YMCA lessons since young) but very little exposure to ocean waters and waves. There were no issues

Can't wait to get back in the water and on a board! Cannon Carroll (Chuck's grandson) helped me crank out two 90 minute surf sessions! It'd been 50 years since I'd ridden other than tending my own children's boards and WOW!! he made it awesome. I'm stricken by Cannon's ability to read the waves to make the most of my sessions. He is extremely detail and safety conscious. He provided in water support, tips, encouragement along with instruction to take it from here.This surfer "girl" is stoked up to get right back into surfing regularly!!

Though it was cold, the swells were right, in the morning, and the waves were plenty.
T-Roy stayed in the cold water to get my kids up on the long board, while in their wetsuits.
Thanks Corky for getting us started and up on boards and into the water!
We just need a lot more practice.

It's an amazing experience. The waves are perfect and I've seen every day dolphins. The teachers are so good and helpful.
