Indo Jax® Surf School
Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, NC

Indo Jax® Surf School has been operating on Wrightsville Beach for nearly 20 years. In that time we have developed techniques to teach surfing to kids and adults, from first timers to long timers. We enjoy being members of the surfing community along the Cape Fear Coast and do our best to improve the quality of life for the folks who live here, as well as do our part to make this a top notch travel destination.

Our experienced and trained professional instructors will get you up and riding in no time, as they introduce you to one of the most thrilling watersports. So come on out and experience the exhilaration of surfing at Indo Jax®!

Why Indo Jax®?

We go beyond the typical surf camp approach and have designed a goal setting routine tailored to each person. This approach ensures that everyone leaves a lesson or a camp noticeably better than when they started.

Each one of our instructors go through a standard training program at the start of every summer, and we are always refining techniques throughout the year. In addition to half-day camps and private lessons, our instructors work extensively within the special needs community and the medically fragile community through our non-profit, Indo Jax® Surf Charities.

The amazing opportunity to use surfing as a form of therapy gives each instructor added confidence, experience and knowledge, in and out of the water.

Safety

We invite the awarding winning team at Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue at the beginning of each summer to go over best practices for first aid, CPR, in- water rescues and any improvements in water safety that they have learned in the professional environment.

The lifeguards and EMT’s are an invaluable component to our program.

In addition we have a relationship North American Rescue. They provide safety equipment and training. Their knowledge helps us as a surf school as well as watermen and waterwomen.

We believe in a safety first mindset. This means instructors are always assessing the conditions and the surfer’s abilities then forming a plan to safely surf. We know that keeping everyone safe is the only way to learn and have fun.

Local Surfers, Local Owned

Owners Dave French and his wife Megan operate this small business from the desk in their kitchen. All emails, texts and phone calls go directly to one of them. As parents of two kids themselves they take pride in offering surf experiences that are enjoyable, safe and are staffed with instructors they would want their own kids to learn from.

Affordability

We offer 20 hours of surf camp experience per week. This includes, surfing, bodyboarding, bodysurfing, ocean swimming and hazard identification (rip currents, long-shore currents) as well as snacks, water and sunscreen. The only thing you need to bring is a towel. In additional to all of that, professional instruction, and high-quality photos for each family is included in our price. Our pricing is set so that we are able to attract the best staff possible, and provide an experience that will become a summer tradition for you and your family
