Great experience! Fun time for beginners too
Great experience! I’m a complete beginner and I even had fun. Very friendly instructor and knows how to teach any level. Can handle multiple people in a lesson and still feel like you got instructor time. I appreciated that they suggested to surf earlier to get better waves. Even saw a dolphin. And then even gave us hats afterwards. Thanks!
Operator response
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review.
We’re especially glad to hear that, as a complete beginner, you felt comfortable and had an enjoyable experience. Creating a welcoming environment while delivering high-quality instruction for all levels is something we take pride in. It’s great to know your instructor was able to effectively manage your group while still giving you meaningful one-on-one attention.
We also appreciate you noting the early session recommendation, better conditions truly make a difference in both learning and overall experience. And spotting dolphins is always an added bonus!
Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back to the water soon.

Great Experience
Had a great experience learning to surf with surf instructor Garrett this morning! He was a great teacher, he was encouraging and had great advice to help my partner and I.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re stoked to hear you had a great experience with Garrett! He has such a natural way of breaking things down and building confidence in the water, so it’s awesome to hear that came through during your session.
Hope to see you both back out there soon!
