ELI HOWARD SURF SCHOOL
Eli Howard Surf School has provided a number of Boy Scout troops within the San Diego/Imperial Counties, as well as nationally, surfing programs that inspired the boys to increase their self-confidence and discover their role in preserving coastal environments. Eli Howard Surf School, one of the leading surfing companies in San Diego, would like to continue collaborating with the Boy Scouts providing young boys with a High Adventure activity. Eli Howard offers 3:1 (student to instructor) ratio, which allows student-centered instruction and positive instructor feedback.
Troops interested in attending a surf program at a special reduced scouting rate, should have a Scoutmaster or troop leader contact the Eli Howard Surf School, to obtain more information about group programs. For Scout programs only group packages will be given.
