 Welcome To Farmdog Surf School Learn to surf on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with Farmdog Surf School. We are located in Nags Head based in Outer Banks Boarding Company. Get Directions>>> Testimonials and Press A lesson in integrity from the Farm Dog Surf School. Our family’s summer tradition is to vacation on the Outer Banks and get an annual surfing lesson. It is amazing how much talk, laughter and planning occurs all year because of that one day’s event. About a half dozen of our family members usually do the surf lessons and Robert Farmer, who runs the Farmdog Surf School, is faced with the annual challenge of gathering together the right mix of instructors and surfboards for us. Since we only surf one week a year, we are a perennial group of beginning to low-intermediate surfers, ranging in age from early elementary to nearly AARP-age. (Disclosure: I’m the nearly AARP-age perpetual beginner.) The instructors have always been patient professionals and superb surfers. We’ve never been disappointed. Robert’s Farmdog Surf School is part of the Outer Banks Boarding Company’s store in Nags Head, but often the lessons are held wherever the waves are breaking best closest to the student’s vacation house. Read More>>> The Surf Lessons we got from outer banks boarding company were above and beyond what we paid for. The guys we had teaching us were really easy-going and their laid back personalities made the experience even more enjoyable. They took extra time to help out our group and we were extremely thankful for their patience with us! They gave us helpful instructions that allowed us to be comfortable surfing on our own for the rest of the vacation. We are incredibly grateful for the instructors and the memories they have provided us! Sarah H. New York Robert was the best surfing instructor I've have ever had! (Mind you I have only had two, but read on because it's worth it.) A new sport can be intimidating, to say the very least. Often the awkwardness one experiences when attempting surfing is only magnified by an unfamiliarity with the lingo, a fundamental lack of knowledge of the mechanics and physics involved, and the fear of looking like a complete fool. That said, Robert made me feel comfortable from the time I got on the board, to the time I was swallowed by my very first wave. After a few short days, a lot of reassurance, very sore shoulders and an entirely new respect for the ocean I caught a wave, and then another. Robert's expertise and love for the sport were enough to keep me engaged and confident that I could actually surf. Surfing, in my opinion, has to be one of the most challenging sports to learn, and the learning curve is long (believe me), however, I have never experienced anything like it, I 'm hooked. I was inexperienced and frightened, especially after I lost my suit bottoms to the pounding surf, but Robert did not let me quit. I thank him for it. I will be back in the Outer Banks in August, board in hand and asking a million questions of my surf instructor, Robert. Jessica B., Vermont
