Don't you think you should know how to surf on your own turf? If slipping into a wetsuit and grabbing your board isn't exactly your go-to getaway when the weekend comes, maybe it's time you took a lesson or two. Santa Barbara Seals offers reservation-only surf lessons, all year round. With rates for 1 person, 2 people, 3 people, and groups (minimum of 4), you can choose how crowded you want your sea to be. And you choose how long you want to learn: you can just drop-in, or try until you're wiped out ... of course, it could be that you never get up (some people just can't catch a break).
