Top Santa Cruz Classes & Workshops

Get wet while learning to surf in Santa Cruz, a picturesque coastal California town popular with surfers. Your 3-hour lesson starts with the basics of how to paddle out, pop up, balance, and catch a wave, along with surfing etiquette and understanding the ocean. Your instructor has you practice on the beach before accompanying you into a spot with small waves that are ideal for beginners. Includes all necessary equipment and instruction.

As a professional artist and teacher, it is one of my passions to teach others the joy of art making. I love watercolor sketch journaling and would love to share with you my years of tips and tricks so that you can learn how to easily draw and paint...even if you are a total beginner! This art class is special because it is specifically designed for vacation travelers. I will show you the essential supplies you need to have a small, portable "art studio" that you can take traveling. You will be able to easily draw and paint anytime, anywhere and capture your vacation memories in your own watercolor journal!
