I have tried to push my son into waves many times in San Diego and Cape Cod, but he never seemed to want to listen to me or engage in the fun. After spending 5 minutes with Katie and her team he was up and riding waves all the way in. Katie has a gift with children and adults. Her love of surfing and relaxed teaching style made this an experience we won't soon forget. We loved our time with Sugar Surf so much that we will be going back for another surf lesson with Katie. They provide the board, the wetsuit, the knowledge, all you'll need to bring is your smile and some stoke. Thank you Sugar Surf for being the highlight of our trip to Wellfleet. read more

Look no further and book your surfing lesson with Sugar Surf! Our family surfed together for the first time and the instructors (Mackenzie and Fiona) were incredibly patient, encouraging and kids friendly. They made surfing not-intimidating at all and the kids want to go back already. Katy was also watching the waves on the day of our surf lesson (safety first!) and alerted us the weather was not safe for us to go out. The rescheduling process was easy with Katy's excellent communication. Sugar Surf provided all the equipment we needed - wet suit (they keep you warm!), and surf boards. Our kids are 7 and 9 and they had no problem getting up on the board and catching a few waves on their first try, thanks to the wonderful instructors! As a side note, you will have to pay for parking when you arrive Marconi Beach. There is a huge parking lot so plenty of spots even if you arrive in the afternoon. Have fun!! read more

Katie did an amazing job with our first time surfers aged 5 & 7! Would highly recommend for a fun way to get your kids into surfing. They provided everything needed!! read more

I had a great surf lesson with MacKenzie from Sugar Surf. I had surfed a few times before and was looking to learn how to pick and paddle into my own waves. She stood by my side in the water the whole time and coached me through it. She is happy to share what she knows about the sport (and it's obviously a lot!) in a way that's fun and that helps you progress and meet your goals. I highly recommend and will be back next year! read more

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and we had made an appointment with another surf school who never showed up. Katy (the owner) saw what happened and offered to let us join one of her groups for a lesson. She was amazing! She was supportive, helpful, friendly, and the lesson was so much fun. It was so kind of her to let us have a lesson after we got stood up by another school at the last minute. Thanks again Katy, you saved our day! read more

This company is amazing. I grew up in Wellfleet and had never surfed in my life and decided to treat myself to a lesson for my birthday. Sugar Surf is owned by local women- Katie Weeks and Rachel Finn, I grew up watching them surf along side the big guys. Surfing is not easy and trying it for the first time requires some bravery and humility. Katie and Rachel were so supportive and positive. They have so much great advice on surf culture, respecting other surfers, and tips for beginners trying to break in to the sport. The way they explained things were very easy to follow. They are the ultimate surfer girls, they've got the looks of a Hollywood Starlet with the soul of a tom-boy. Their approach to teaching is gentle, thoughtful, and comprehensive. Do not miss out on this opportunity. It will change your life, serious! read more

After researching a few surfing companies online, I decided to try Sugar Surf...and I'm so glad I did! My boyfriend and I did the 1.5 hour introductory lesson for 2, with Katy. She was awesome!!! We were total beginners (even put the wetsuits on backwards, by accident) but she was patient, professional, and fun! I've always wanted to try surfing, but was intimidated by it and wanted to find the right instructor. If you're in a similar situation, you should DEFINITELY try Sugar Surf! We expected to spend the majority of the lesson on the beach, but were pleasantly surprised at the amount of chances we got to ride a wave in the water. Katy was encouraging, gave us helpful tips, and made us feel safe the entire time. The beach where we had the lesson was absolutely gorgeous, which made for a fun afternoon. As soon as the lesson was over, we decided we want to go back at the end of the summer for an intermediate lesson. I can't recommend this company enough! read more

Katy is great!! She emphasizes safety, then fun, then learning. She's encouraging and knows her stuff. We had several sessions this summer and hope she's still teaching when we come back. - parent of 13 y.o. girl read more

Awesome company. I had Rachel as an instructor. She was great. She was professional and patient. I was very comfortable and moved at my own pace. I would definitely recommend this company if you're thinking of trying surfing. They provide everything you need. I'm going back after labor day for another lesson. read more

Katy took me and my boyfriend Andrew out for our first surf lesson this morning, we had a blast! Katy is super friendly and really knows what she is doing. We had an amazing time and felt safe. Both of us got up on the board and can't wait to take another lesson. We're hooked! Thanks, Katy!! read more

Sugar Surf Cape Cod - White Crest Beach - Surfing Near Me

I was with a group of 6 - ranging from 9 yrs old to over 40... and we all had a blast! Katy was patient, fun and helpful. Even got out of the water to coax a hesitant surfer back in. My only complaint is that I wish with a group of 6 we had an additional instructor, but we all had ample chances to ride a few waves in. Would definitely recommend Sugar Surf to anyone who wants to give it a try on a gorgeous beach. read more

Sugar surf is the best! Four of us (women in our 40s and 50s) took a lesson from Katy, the owner. She's incredibly kind, patient, funny, and professional. We had a blast, and half of us even actually stood up and rode the waves into the shore. She started the lesson with land based exercises and instruction, including reviewing safety procedures. Once in the water, she gave us pointers after each surfing attempt which, had some of us followed them, would have been extremely helpful. She provided the perfect blend of making sure we were successful, safe and having a great time. We can't recommend Sugar Surf or Katy highly enough. read more

Katy was so amazing as an instructor - warm, friendly, encouraging and a fantastic teacher. She gave us some great feedback and by the end of our 2 person session both of us had improved. We will definitely be scheduling more sessions. If you're looking for surfing lessons on the cape, seriously book with Sugar Surf. read more

Sugar Surf is fantastic! I'm totally new to surfing but our instructor, Mackenzie, was so nice and helpful. She gave me the confidence to stand up and go for it and just showed us a great time in general. If you want an affordable, authentic surf lesson with a pro who will keep you safe and give you plenty of time in the water this is the place to go-- no matter what your skill level. Can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Mackenzie! read more

In the summer of 2011 my daughter was very excited to improve her surfing skills from two local surfer girls in welfleet ma. However she came home very unsatisfied. She said her instructors rarely gave her any attention because there were too many people in her group. She was struggling the whole time in the water and didn't receive help. She said "she would have had a better time boogie boarding with the rest of the family." I don't think that katy and rachel are lifeguard certified and i don't feel like they made sure my daughter was safe while in the ocean. read more

Love, love, love sugar surf! Rachel was awesome - friendly, experienced and patient - my girls 8 and 10 - totally enjoyed their morning of surf lessons at Marconi Beach. They will be back next summer. Until then - hang ten! Thank you. read more

Great team and worth every penny. Good instruction and supportive. No ego's with these girls and make you feel comfortable. Good for kids and first timers. read more

Had a private lesson with Katy a while back, and she was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and is just a great fun person to work with. She had me up and surfing right off the bat! I had such a great experience that I came back for another private lesson this week. I met with Jessica, who was just as fantastic as Katy, and had another awesome experience. This a great group of people who are super knowledgeable, responsive to inquiries, great instructors, and just plain fun to be with. I highly recommend Sugar Surf if you want to learn how to surf and have a blast doing it! read more

I have taken three lessons with Sugar Surf Cape Cod and I plan on coming back for more! They are absolutely terrific! My first lesson was July 2014 with Nicole, followed by July 2015 with Mackensie and Aug 2015 with Katy. All of the instructors were incredible. They all covered safety and basics briefly before we got into the water and once in the water I was up and surfing with their instructions. Katy is quick to respond to my emails when I want to book a lesson. My most recent lesson was a pair lesson with a friend but I still felt that we both got nearly the same attention we would have with a solo lesson. All the instructors at Sugar Surf cape cod are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and fun to take lessons with. I highly recommend choosing this surf school whether you have never surfed before or if you have some experience, they will make sure you get what you need and have a great time! read more
