Instructor Ms. Sabina was very friendly and although it was our first time to surf, we really enjoyed to surf since the instructor assisted us to take off and stand on the board.
Beginner’s should go early when the waves are smallest. We had a great time. Aiden was terrific. Good instructor, ask for Aiden! He worked hard to get us up and was easy to be with.
Did private lesson for 10 year old son who surfed a handful of times before. He loved the lesson; his instructor Dale was great with him. Dropped a lot of knowledge. However, for fellow East Coasters, the experience is very SoCal - the address we were told to go to was not a store or surf shop- it was a general meeting place outside a restaurant. The instructor had wetsuits in his car along with a board. Again, all was good and fine - son loved it! It was just a different buying experience. I would do it again.
<p>I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area that wants to take a lesson and knows nothing about surfing. The instructor was outstanding with beginners. I learned about how to get up on the board, information about waves and the dangers of them. Although I was unable to surf on my first day, I was very happy with my experience.</p>
