Clint Carroll Makes a Positive Difference with His Art in Our Lives by Providing Marine-Based Therapy and the Inspiration of an Ocean-Based Lifestyle.

From the legendary Carroll family, Clint Carroll owner of the Clint Carroll Surf School in Huntington Beach and SurfDreams, a non-profit organization that benefits the disadvantaged by connecting them with the spiritual and physical healing aspects that the sport of surf offers, opens his doors in the California Art Experience, Open Studio Tour to share who he is and what he creates.

Clint Corky Carroll was born in San Clemente, CA and grew up in the historic Surf Family of Corky Carroll. Clint’s father, the legendary Corky Carroll, is a three time world and five time U.S. Surfing Champion alongside being a famed musician. Clint started surfing at age two (his first surfboard, shaped by his dad, is now in the International Surfing Museum in Huntington Beach) and by age 13, he was teaching surfing at the Paskowitz Surf Camp that established in 1972 at San Onofre Surf Beach.

Clint has always been passionate about the surfing lifestyle and it’s connection to the spiritual and physical healing aspect that the sport offers. This passion has led him to a committed life of teaching the skills his dad passed on to him. "I like providing a sense of satisfaction and peace of mind that people can relate to. When my Art effects lives in a therapeutic way, it helps me get out of the daily grind and the fast paced world."

Clint and his son Cannon currently provide lessons at his surf school, Clint Carroll Surf School located at 22017 Bushard St. Huntington Beach, CA 92646. They offer private one-on-one lessons, clinics and group classes for all ages and all levels of surfers including beginner, intermediate and professional. Surfboards, wetsuits and leashes are included for all lessons. There is also a wide array of surf gear and beach lifestyle must-haves such as Hurley apparel, Vestal watches, Carver Skateboards, Black Flys sunglasses and surfboards by Timmy Patterson, including Clint's signature line of Crypsticks.

This surf rebel rock shop is made complete with artwork by Roy Gonzalez and the custom built-in stage created for the live music of Dirty Water, Clint's band. His enlightening lyrics are inspirational messages surrounded by the mesmerizing rock music of his closest friends and fellow band mates. When Clint isn't shredding the stage at the Surf School, he's performing in venues such as the Underground DTSA and Hard Rock.
