When booking, keep these terms in mind :)
Tribe of Zen prices, terms and conditions are subject to change.
To keep our operations running smoothly, we at Tribe of Zen have a few terms and conditions that are important to understand before taking lessons with us. Don't worry, there's nothing to be scared of here. We've worked hard to build a reputation of being very understanding and accommodating people who are in the business of making our customers happy, not making a extra buck when possible.
• Gratuity for lessons is not included or necessary but generally recommended.
"Like It" = $10
"Love It" = $20
"OMG! I am going to quit my job and move to Costa Rica" = $20+
• Large Groups: Parties of 10 or more are required to tip at least 20%
• Scheduling: Scheduling a week in advanced is recommended for preferential timing; however, students can often call at the last minute to jump in an open time slot. Walk-ons are accepted but not guaranteed.
• Requesting Instructors: Students may request to work with a particular instructor but working with that instructor is not guaranteed. Instructors have to juggle busy and constantly changing schedules so its is recommended that students tip the insctuctors they wish to work with in order to secure their lesson with him or her.
• Being Late: Arriving 30 minutes before a lesson is recommended but 15 minutes early is a MUST. It takes a few minutes do get signed in, suited-up, and stretched out so please be on time and ready to go. If you are running late, please let us know and give us an honest ETA.
• When arriving late, we do our best to accommodate our students by giving them extra time a the end; however, at some point we have to end the lesson no matter what. We will have other students waiting to use their own paid time and cannot sacrifice their time. If you arrive so late that so you miss most of the lesson, you can choose to take the remainder of the lesson for the full lesson price, or simply pay the cancellation fee.
• Cancellation Policy: We would really like at least 48 hours of advanced notice if you must cancel but we NEED 24 hours of notice. If canceling or rescheduling within 24 hours of your lesson, you will be charged HALF the cost of your lesson. We are normally very accommodating and understanding of unforeseen emergencies and circumstances but keep in mind that we pay our instructors in advanced and could have otherwise filled your missed spot if given more notice. Parties and Outings are required to give 48 hours of notice to cancel or reschedule without incurring the fee.
• Broken Equipment: If our equipment is lost or broken with a rental, it must be replaced to its full value. If equipment is lost or damaged during a lesson, the student may be liable for replacing the equipment if actions were deemed negligent by owner or instructor. Prices vary for different equipment but are generally priced as follows:
• Surf Board : $250
• Leash : $20
• Wetsuit : $200
• Wetsuit Top : $70
• Fins : $15
• Leaving A Lesson: If you decide to leave the lesson at any point, you may not make-up the remaining time.
• By signing up for a lesson with Tribe of Zen, you agree for your card on file to be charged for cancellation and damage fees.
• Owners, instructors and affiliates of Tribe of Zen are not responsible for injuries or damage caused to students or their parties.
