I had such a great experience with my private surf lesson! My instructor was fantastic, super knowledgeable, and made sure I learned a lot while having an amazing time. I had so much fun and would highly recommend!
I signed up our 12 year old daughter for her first surf lesson. It was a great experience overall! Cole was a great instructor and cheered her on along the way. The waves were crazy that day but it worked out great. You go to a nice section of the beach where other lessons are taking place. The one challenge we had was the meet up. You get an address that is at a house. It feels a little sketchy. I found a number to call and met up at their van. I wish the directions had been more clear as it caused us to lose about 20 minutes of our surf time. Despite the tough start, it was definitely worth it in the end!
Meeting point was slightly confusing. Guide was very patient with my son, complimentary and was clear in his communication. Would recommend for new surfers!
We are 54 and have never touched a surfboard. However, it’s been a dream of my husband’s to learn. Liv was his instructor, and her patience was unwavering. She was encouraging and relentless in helping him achieve the moment of getting up on his surfboard and glide into shore. Thank you, Liv, for making Alex’s dream come true!
It was a great experience for my daughter. It was a full 2 hours with a lot of instruction and opportunity to get up on the board. The instructor was patient and fun!
Thanks again was a pleasure to teach her.
Great experience with a really nice and helpful teacher Jonathan. My son had a blast and caught a lot of waves- he loved it!
I bought a surfing lesson for my husband as a surprise while we were here for a trip! It was a bucket list for him, and he caught waves!! Mike was a great instructor and explained everything very well. I will definitely be joining next time!
Jonathon was knowledgeable and patient. He made the experience fun and she learned how to surf in one lesson
Dan was an awesome instructor for my husband and sister and me! None of us had ever surfed before, and all three of us got up standing on a wave more than once during the lesson. We now feel prepared to rent boards and go on our own at least one more time before our vacation ends. Highly recommend!
I was paired with Dan and I had a blast! He did a great job at showing me safety procedures and how to get up on the board. This was my first time and I was able to get up a few times. I felt safe the entire time and would absolutely recommend this experience to any first timers.
