By , About.com Guide

Central Florida Surf School

School is Cool!

Let's forget the fact that the Central Florida Surf School is the east coast's oldest and largest surf camp, having taught thousands how to surf in Florida, New Jersey, and Costa Rica. Let's also ignore the fact that Central florida Surf School provides safe, fun, and comprehensive lessons to any beginner with a passion to experience the thrill of riding waves.

Instead, let's focus on the owner, Lou Maresca, who has surfing in his blood and has such a love for wave riding that his smile and energy will rub off on anyone under his expert tutelage. You'll learn how to surf with Lou. I have surfed with Lou and his son for years and watched him and his surf instructors patiently guide newbies from their first nervous moments awkwardly handling a surfboard through to their wide-eyed thrill ride back toward the beach. Again, you will learn how to surf with Lou..seriously.

With airport pickup service available, lodging, and meals, Lou Maresca's Central Florida Surf School is the best gig for anyone who wants to learn how to surf in a true surfing experience.

Lou offers instruction in New Jersey and Florida. Speaking as a surfer living in Florida, the surf is perfect for beginners in that the weather is warm and the surf rarely gets dangerous. Instead, a beginning surfer can enjoy sand bottom beach breaks and fun, safe surfing conditions.

Even more exotic adventures await those who want learn how to surf on a guided surf trip to the wave-rich lands of Costa Rica.

With the end of winter over the horizon, reserve your chance to learn how to surf (with photographic evidence as proof to show your friends).
