Orange County Surf Coaching is pleased to offer a new charter and homeschool surfing program for 2026. Owned by former professional surfer and successful 15-year Coach Christian Saenz, OCSC has taught thousands of kids how to surf, helped kids get to the next level, and coached some of the nation’s best amateurs. Under Christian’s and his staff’s guidance, his athletes have won over 30 national titles in the past few years. Our style of coaching is to challenge our students with proper technique to help them become better surfers. If you are serious about getting your child proper coaching, this is for you!
This program is geared towards a variety of levels such as Beginner, Transitional, and Intermediate. Surfers will be divided into small groups based on their level.
Beginner: Participants will learn essential skills including paddling, catching waves, navigating the inside break, and mastering the pop-up with correct form. Our program balances fun and hard work, instilling a positive mindset that extends beyond the water.
Transitional: This category is for surfers on hard boards who can surf 2-5 ft outside waves. This program will be guided by a coach in the water with a focus on paddling, duckdiving, reading waves, and starting bottom and top turn maneuvers. Surfers must be able to get back to the outside to their coach. There will be a major focus on technique to help instill a good foundation.
Intermediate: For surfers who can surf 2-6ft waves with a focus on developing stronger maneuvers. These surfers are connecting a variety of maneuvers and are looking for an edge to up their game in the water. All of our intermediate classes will review with our coaches every 20-25 minutes. The review is a key tool to identify areas to improve upon, allowing them to paddle back out and apply the advice. This process repeats until the class is over.
