Learn to Surf in Texas at Padre Island Surf Camp in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Surf Camps, Lessons & Groups Events For All Ages Year Round!

PISC was established to share the unexplainable experience of surfing to all. Our camps are designed for all who wish to surf and enjoy what the beach life has to offer. Our surf camp helps build confidence and self esteem in kids who wants to take in all the beach fun with new friends in a supervised, safe, and fun atmosphere.

We split our surfers into groups based on age and skill level and have a 4:1 student:instructor ratio. PISC is for surfers of all levels, and we teach in a safe environment among peers and professionals. Equipment is included in every lesson or camp that we offer. We have a variety of surfboards to use for all skill levels including standard short boards, Retro and Modern fish shapes, longboards, and Stand up Paddle boards! We also offer Kayaks, Skim Boards, and beach games for additional fun in the sun. Whether you or your child is a beginner, or looking to improve, Padre Island Surf Camp help you get to the next level!

Padre Island Surf Camp offers private lessons, full day camps, 5 day camps, and all Women’s camps. We pride ourselves on our incredible, knowledgeable staff, and our focus on safety, and operate on a 4:1 surfer/instructor ratio to ensure the best overall experience. All of our campers are put in the same color rashguard for easy identification and sun protection. We feel that personal attention is what makes this learning experience enjoyable.

By far the best surf camp ever! The instructors are so nice, patient, and truly understand the kids. They help teach them how to surf, how to be safe in the water, and most importantly they make sure it is loads of fun for all!!! My kids are begging to go back! I would highly recommend Padre Island Surf Camp, you simply just won't find any better!!!
