About Seth Broudy School of Surf
Seth Broudy School of Surf is one of Virginia Beach's best-known surf schools, founded by former professional surfer Seth Broudy. The school runs its lessons and camps at Croatan Beach, a locals' favorite break just south of Rudee Inlet, with a business office two blocks from the inlet on Winston Salem Avenue.
The core offering is beginner-friendly instruction: private and group surf lessons for all ages, plus multi-day summer surf camps that take kids from their first paddle to riding green waves. Instructors are experienced watermen who keep student-to-teacher ratios low, and all boards and rash guards are provided. Sessions run through the warm season, when Croatan's sandbar peaks serve up forgiving waves ideal for learning.
The Broudy name carries real weight in Virginia Beach surfing — Seth grew up competing on the East Coast circuit before turning to teaching, and the school has introduced thousands of local and visiting kids to the sport over two decades. Five-star review averages across hundreds of ratings reflect a program that parents trust and kids come back to summer after summer.
