Indo Jax Surf and Kiteboard School
Wilmington, NC
Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Topsail Beach

Our Mission:

Indo Jax is truly a one of a kind surf school! We are different from the others for many reasons. First of all, our qualifications set us apart from any surf school you’ll find anywhere. Our instructors are certified teachers with extensive surfing backgrounds. Our ocean experience, safety training and teaching background is unparalleled. With our qualifications we can provide a “learn to surf” experience that the others just can’t. In addition, our prices are quite a bit lower than the industry standard. We could charge much more, but we don’t, because we love to teach people to surf! Our most unique feature, however, is we give back! We have an impressive outreach learn to surf program. We donate our time and money to local charities, we sponsor local charity events, as well as offer free surf camps to various groups ranging from children infected with HIV, to children with autism. The motto at the school is simple, “We are nothing if we don’t give back!”

Sure, we would love to make a few bucks doing something we enjoy, but that’s not what Indo Jax is all about. We love to surf, we love the ocean, and we love to pass on our passion and surfing knowledge to others. Our ultimate goals are:

1. teach people to surf in a fun and safe learning environment
2. bring surfing to people who might otherwise not have a chance to do so.
3. use the stoke of wave riding to build self-esteem in people
4. promote a love of the ocean environment
5. set an example of charity for others to follow. All while having a great time!

When we donate lessons to a particular group, Indo Jax provides all equipment necessary to learn to surf, we donate the necessary instructors, and we leave each student with a little gift upon completion of our surf course, at no cost to the student.

In addition to our own charity surf camps, we are also the main sponsor of Ocean Cure, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving free surf camps to medically fragile children.

Indo Jax is adding a Kiteboard School for the 2009 season and we can’t wait to get started. The Kiteboard season will start April 1st and run through October 31st. The Kiteboard Lessons will be geared for beginner to intermediate level kiteboarders, and will be conducted as private lessons or small group classes.
