Dave was great! As a very inexperienced surfer, I felt like I was in good hands. Was able to not only learn the basics, but get feedback on how to improve which was awesome. 10/10 would recommend.
Appreciate your review thanks for the honest and trustful feedback. Hope to see you soon in the water can take care.
I’ve been searching for a long time where I could surf in New York and found Sierra surf school. Signed up with my friend and were satisfied with the lesson. David (instructor) explained very clearly and simply that we could stand on the board and catch the wave in the first lesson! We are so happy and excited that after a couple of weeks we’ll come back again. Can’t wait!
Thanks our for your fine review and we hope to see you and your friend soon in the water to catch more waves!
