Logan did a great job getting our 3 teens out in the surf. He made it simple to meet up and had them suited up and in the water in a few minutes. They were able to get up most of the time and were really riding well by the end, location was perfect. They adjusted our times around the surf and it was well worth it.
This was a solo lesson for my 14yr old daughter. She loved the idea of surfing but had a fear of the waves and was afraid to take it past the white wash. Brayden was able to ease her in past the white wash and help her overcome her fear of the waves. He taught her how to duck-dive and feel comfortable with the approach of the waves. Very pleased and she was thrilled with how comfortable she got. Worth every penny!
