WELCOME
Nantucket Island Surf School is the island’s premiere surf school. Since 1999 we’ve been teaching surfing at Cisco Beach on Nantucket to students of all ages and ability. We offer private lessons and group lessons as well as week long mini camps for kids. We also offer standup (SUP) paddle boarding lessons. All equipment is provided, which includes boards and wetsuits. All you need to do is show up in your bathing suit with your sunscreen on and ready to have a lot of fun!
