The shop is right on the beach. On good days, surf out front. On bigger days, five-minute drive to South Chesterman's — free roof racks for every car, boards already tied on.

Whatever the ocean's doing, your day on the water works 🌊

"Tofino Paddle Surf - The Best!

We have rented gear (wet suits and surf boards) from Tofino Paddle Surf for years.

They are local, warm and always happy to share their knowledge of where to surf based and experience, weather conditions and just having a good time.

In the past we have taken surf lessons with them and they were kind, patient and made the experience fun. As a result, we can now all surf and enjoy it.

They have all the gear too whether your surfing, SUPing, body surfing or just need a wetsuit to brave the cold Pacific Ocean 🌊, they have you covered.

Make sure to check them out when visiting Tofino." - Paula Mendes, Google

You'll always be learning in surfing; that's the best part. Here's what most people don't know: even getting slightly better means having way more fun out there.

Your first lesson teaches you what to rent, how to stay safe, and how to practice — skills you can take to any surf beach in the world. Your second lesson is where it gets good: popping up cleaner, paddling stronger, controlling your speed, going sideways.

With a bit of support along the way, you get more bang for your buck out of every session. Book a follow-up, ask about multi-lesson packages, and progress on your own terms — you can even swap board sizes throughout your rental as your skills grow.
