Coreyswave Professional Surf Instruction

Corey, Kristin and the team provide great surf coaching at every level! Their team of instructors work with absolute beginners as well as seasoned surfers looking to hone their technique. They are especially great at matching clients with the perfect coach and conditions!

I have taken five surf lessons with Coreyswave, and each lesson has been amazing. Coreywave’s customer service has been outstanding, and the surf instruction has been fantastic. I plan to continue to take lessons with Coreyswave, and I would highly recommend them to everyone who’s interested in surfing.

Corey’s Wave is the premier surfing outfit in Montauk. The instructors are masters at coaching. Their choices of words, ability to give comprehendible feedback in real time (e.g. while a wave is lifting you up) and make the experience fun - are all unparalleled differentiators. I’ve had lessons from others in surfing plus many other sports (wakeboarding, surfing, mountain biking, wind sports etc…). Coreys Wave has the best instructors of any company in ANY sport anywhere in my opinion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've taken surf lessons all over and I have to say that the instruction I have gotten through Corey and his team has been the absolute best. Really thoughtful, intelligent and very patient instruction that I've benefited from enormously in so many ways. Big thank you to the whole team and to Kristen for the perfect level of push to get me out even when it's not ideal -- I have never regretted getting out with this group!

Coryswave is the best!! My 13 year old son loves every minute of everyone lesson! The instructors are super cool, patient and knowledgeable and their passion for the sport—and the ocean—is contagious! You can’t help but get swept up it! My son felt safe and supported throughout his lessons. After each session, he’s tired and happy, and he always asks, when can I come back? Thank you, Coryswave!!!

Corey and Kristin were fantastic and communicative. Got me in for a session mid week with no crowds. The wet suit and booties made it warm and comfortable even on a cloudy day. First time on a board and got to ride a decent amount of waves and felt excited to do it again.

A Lifelong Student – On Surfing, Mentorship, and the Pursuit of Growth After more than 30 years building and managing an asset management business, one truth has become more clear to me than ever: the most successful people I know are the ones who never stop learning. A mentor of mine once asked me a powerful question that has stuck with me: “What in your life are you currently a beginner at?” It’s a question that reveals whether you still embrace a growth mindset—no matter your age, accomplishments, or stage of life. Six or seven years ago, I decided to become a beginner again. In my late 40s, I took up surfing—something I had admired from afar but never dared to try. The learning curve was steep (still is), but the process of learning something completely new, humbling and physical, has been nothing short of transformational. The ocean has a way of teaching patience, humility, and presence. The focus and clarity I’ve gained in the water have made me a better investor, a better leader, and a better human. Along this journey, I’ve had the great fortune of being guided by the team at Coreyswave in Montauk. What started as surf instruction quickly became a source of mentorship, friendship, and inspiration. Corey, Kevin, Gavin & Kristen—and so many others—have been incredible teachers. They’ve helped me push through my limits and stay engaged in the art of learning. I'm deeply grateful to be part of this community. To my friends and others reading this —many of whom are likely high achievers and lifelong learners—I highly recommend you ask yourself that same question: What are you doing in your life right now that you're still a beginner at? And if you ever find yourself near Montauk, consider a surf lesson with Coreyswave. You might just find it does more than teach you how to ride waves—it may open up a whole new perspective on life, learning, and leadership. Thank you Coreyswave!

I had taken 4 surf lessons in my life prior to my first lesson with Coreyswave - and they were SO much better than the others. Coreyswave prioritized safety and only took me out on days that would be appropriate for me; I always felt comfortable. They talked about and showed me skills that really helped me become someone who can actually surf! Their instructors are also great at coaching the more skilled surfers; I have often seen some really great surfers taking lessons with them. Couldn't recommend them more - whether you are brand new or looking to gain some new skills
