Jacob is the GOAT! Best surf instructor ever!

Jacob was an incredible instructor. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable, but most importantly, he makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I was able to stand up a few times during my first lesson and couldn’t have done it without his help.

First time surfing

We had a great time learning how surf with Matthew. This was the first time either of us surfed and we were impressed by how quickly we caught on, thanks to Matthew’s clear and straightforward directions!

Guide never showed up and locally has a reputation of doing so

Waited a half an hour and called 5 times and the guide never showed up. Other groups identified the owner as Matt and said he has a reputation of doing so

Operator response

Matt is not the owner, He is an employee. My name is Kekua, I am the owner and you received a full refund. Your booking was over looked due to the short notice. I’m very sorry this happened.

Very disappointed..

Did not get to go to the surf lesson. It was canceled and I was not notified. I had to call to see where they were. And was told that it was canceled at the time of the lesson. I booked this weeks in advance and apparently they had other surf lessons to attend to.

Ask for Matthew! WOW! Amazing Surfing Lesson

Matthew was an AMAZING instructor with great energy! He taught in a way that was easy to understand and made our first surfing experience phenomenal! He gave great pointers while we were catching waves, and we got to go for some big ones (at least they were big to us!) Cannot recommend this guy enough! This was an experience of a lifetime!

Not in Jersey anymore

Amazing experience, Matt went out of his way to accommodate a last minute change. He was a great instructor and we all did very well despite it being our first time surfing. Don’t hesitate to book this experience, great for kids and adults!!

Fine

3 taking lessons- boards were pretty trashed and guide was not very friendly or patient. He did let us surf a little longer than specified time but seemed like other companies might’ve been bettwr
