About

For custom-shaped surfboards and one-on-one surf lessons in Encinitas, Sessions Surf Co operates from a Third Street workshop two blocks from the Moonlight Beach break. Each board is hand-finished from polyurethane blanks with fiberglass and resin layups tailored to rider weight, stance width, and target wave range — a bespoke production model that draws repeat bookings from guests at Moonlight Beach Motel up the street. The lesson curriculum positions beginners at the Third Street shore break where consistent whitewater rolls over a sandy bottom free of reef hazards. Intermediate riders progress to green-wave takeoffs at adjacent D Street using the custom board geometry they helped design in the shaping bay, part of a shaper-to-student feedback loop running the same Old Encinitas corridor where Ironsmith Coffee Roasters batch-roasts single-origin beans. Custom shapes span 5'8" twin-fin fish templates to 9'6" single-fin noserider logs, each glassed in polyester or epoxy resin with flex-pattern specifications matched to the rider's primary break.
