History

Established in 1978.

We originally began operations at the Watershed Surf Shop in 1978, with private and group lessons at the Narragansett Town Beach. This business expanded over the years and took on it’s own identity in the late 1980’s. The school now teaches surfing classes at Matunuck Point in South Kingstown as well as the Narragansett Town Beach. Our SUP classes are held at Narrow River. For the past decade, we have also run surfing camps during the summer months. Our school is now affiliated with Narragansett Surf and Skate shop in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
