SURFSET New York City — Local services in New York

We were at the Arlo Soho rooftop location, and WOW was this cool! I thought it would be an easy workout, but it challenged muscles I haven't used in ages and struck the perfect balance between tough workout and fun experience. Put that quality workout on the roof of a cool hotel on a beautiful morning, and Surfset has the perfect recipe for success. The surfboards are connected to a set of rubber balls and elastic straps that mimic the stability of a surfboard in water.

This is a small, family-owned business, and one of the owners was our instructor. He was not only a great teacher but a nice guy, and even someone like me (with no real surfing history) interested in the sport.

They also do trips out to Long Beach for real surfing in the ocean, as well as to the wave pool at the 'American Dream' mall in NJ, which makes surfing accessible even to folks who aren't great swimmers.

Finally, the owner let us know that you can purchase packages from them and split the package between friends (something hardly anybody in NYC does anymore).

I can't recommend Surfset enough. I will definitely be...

Surfset NYC is one of my most favorite groups to surf with. I love joining them for their Epic Pool Days and Epic Beach Days. If you have surfed before or are completely new to surfing, they are great at working with all skill levels and comfort levels. Everyone that attends is so supportive and really cheers each other on. I always leave feeling so stoked and ready to come back. The owners Diana and Aaron are so incredible and give you tips and coaching throughout the session so you always have a new goal to work on. I have learned so much on my surfing journey with Surfset NYC. Can't wait to see you...

With zero experience of surfing, this class was a great intro to what surfing would be like! The instructor Aaron was very friendly, well-versed in his expertise as demonstrated by his detailed explanations and made sure everyone was on the same page. By the end of the class, I felt physically stronger (and exhausted, quite the work out) and open to the idea of trying to surf at a wave pool...
