The sand bottom beach break at Santa Claus Lane is one of the best waves in Santa Barbara county to learn to surf and improve technique. Each summer we feature eleven weeks of camps beginning mid june and running until the end of August. New and returning students learn the Surf Happens fundamental movements of the Turtle, Chim Chim, Fledgling, and Dingo, while cross training, and participating in old favorites like Dodge Ball, Beach Flags, and sports specific relay races. We also teach students how to overcome the three basic human fears of the water through the Seal & Swim Chim.

.

Whether you are beginning your journey as a Turtle just poking your head out of your shell, learning to stand as a Chim Chim, or riding down the line doing your first maneouvers as a Surf Happens Fledgling, we will systematically improve your surfing practices through the Keet's Surf Happens teaching methodology. We assess strengths and weaknesses and create personalized fitness programs for you and help you through challenges and fears. Find out the secrets of the Swim Chim & overcome your fears of the water.
