In a few days, though, the Sanford boys will be "shredding" with the best of them. Well, maybe not shredding, but certainly catching waves, standing up and getting psyched on this thrilling sport, thanks to these California surf camps.
If "hanging 10" appeals to your family's wild side, fear not: You don't have to go all the way to Hawaii to pick up the basics. These mainland surf camps offer quality pro instruction (and great waves) at affordable rates. Some include meals and use of surf supplies, while others offer half-day lessons for those who want to test the waters before committing to a weeklong camp. So, no excuses--get out there and shred!
