SEAN’S PRIVATE LESSONS IN WILMINGTON, NC

My name is Sean Griffin, and I am the proud owner of Sean’s Private Surf
Instruction, LLC.  I’m 36 years old, was born in Charlottesville, VA, and grew
up in Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington, NC.  I went to Wrightsville Beach
Elementary, Noble Middle School, Laney High School and UNCW where I received a
Bachelors Degree in Business Marketing.

In 2018, the best thing ever happened!  I became the father of a beautiful baby
boy named Sean the 2nd.  He is almost 5 years old now — crazy!  He’s an amazing
little fella; I love him to bits and am beyond grateful to be his dad.

When I’m not teaching surf lessons or surfing….I’m enjoying every second with my
son (and our Australian Shephard ‘Winston-Dog’).  I love skateboarding and
riding my bicycle.  I love canoes.  I love traveling and exploring.  I love
music, playing music, art, making art; reading, writing; creativity is rad.

Best time ever!


If you want to surf for your first time or just improve your surfing, Sean is
your guy! Sean is an absolutely phenomenal instructor – extremely knowledgeable,
fun, and encouraging. He goes above and beyond in every way to make sure you
finish the lesson a better surfer than you started! Sean is the only instructor
I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn to surf; he’s the best and you and
your kids will have an absolute blast! (And his prices are super reasonable.)

– Joel Bradt
This guy is awesome! 5 stars!


We booked a 1.5 hour surfing lesson with Sean. Due to the rainy weather that
weekend, we were not sure if the lesson could be postponed or cancelled, and
Sean was very flexible and courteous when communicating. We had 2 people and
Sean also had 2 instructors including himself. If we were to do it with other
companies, it would be 1 instructor for both of us (not really a good deal).
Within the 1.5 hour, I learned a lot about surfing and enjoyed it.

– Minh Zizou

Sean and his team took out 6 girls – all different surfing abilities – for a
morning lesson. He was fantastic. The ones that knew how to surf learned some
new moves and the ones that had never surfed loved it. Sean and his instructors
were patient and worked really well with the girls. I would recommend Sean’s
Private Surf Instruction for anyone who wants to learn how to surf or who
already knows and wants to get better. There is no one better for private or
small group lessons in Wrightsville Beach than Sean.

– Francine Streich
Sean made a surfer out of our 14-year-old son in two lessons.


Sean made a surfer out of our 14-year-old son in two lessons. We most liked that
Sean initially acted like training wheels, showing our son how to pick the right
wave and telling him when to pop up, but quickly got him to the point where he
could do those important pieces independently. Awesome job, Sean!

Great experience


We got a lesson for each of my daughters for a Christmas gift. Chris was their
instructor and he was great. We booked lessons for the next day as well after
our first set. Girls had a great to.e and we are planning another trip. Couldn't
recommend more.

Instructors that love the sport and want you to love it, too!


I had an awesome time surfing with Leah, my instructor. I was super nervous
having never surfed before, but after a few minutes of land instruction, she had
me in the water catching waves. Got my feet underneath me almost immediately and
rode my last wave of the day all the way to the beach! Safe to say I’m hooked!

– Ashlyn P. via Tripadvisor
Great surf instruction


Great instructors and fun! Highly recommended to anyone looking for helpful and
friendly instruction on how to surf!

– John M. via Tripadvisor
Perfect beginner instruction - in great conditions


Booked a last minute lesson for my teenager - Dani was friendly, knowledgeable
and he had a great time. Ready to go out on his own. Thanks much !

– Cate B. via Tripadvisor
My boys had the best time with Sean!!!


They surfed for four days in a row, had their lessons recorded into a little
movie, and had an absolute blast. Sean taught them so much about ocean/surfing
safety as well as learning to surf! We can’t wait to have more lessons next
summer. Thanks Sean!!

– Shannon
By far THE BEST surf mentor and teacher my son has had.


They immediately bonded and Sean genuinely took interest in Bowen, not only
teaching the mechanics of surfing but how to read the waves as well! HIGHLY
recommended!

– Michelle Pierce Young
I have three young sons and Sean was fantastic with them.


He was hands on and really taught them yet made sure they had fun. He also gave
us a high level of confidence that our kids were safe and having a great time.
Sean has a touch with relating to kids and gaining their respect. They look
forward to seeing him every time we visit Wrightsville Beach

– Brooke Oblinger
The best surfing experience I could have ever hoped for


I had a 2 hour lesson with Sean today and it was easily the best surfing
experience I could have ever hoped for. His expertise and ability to make things
simple for somebody learning was amazing. His passion showed when we were
discussing how to read the ocean, size of the swell, current and wind direction.
In addition, the better I did, the more he would teach me on technique to make
surfing more creative and interesting when surfing elsewhere. It was the best
afternoon I’ve had in a while and I look forward to coming back down and meeting
with Sean for another lesson soon down the road.

– Matthew Wetmore
Awesome guys


Yesterday I decided I wanted to try surfing, so I googled surf board rentals and
lessons and these guys sounded good so I went with it and I’m SO glad I did!
Sean and Miller were awesome. The wetsuit was super nice and they brought a
couple different boards out for me. I had a blast and will definitely go to them
with any needs or questions when I am down here!
