    Really good instructor! He had us in the water the whole time and made sure we caught lots of waves while keeping us safe and teaching us skills. Really fun family experience!

    Our 15 and 12 year old had a great surf lesson! Joey was so awesome, patient, kind and fun! We definitely are glad we booked this and totally recommend!

    Great day on the water

    Starting from zero surfing experience, Ryan had us up surfing our first try! Ryan always made us feel safe, keeping us aware of our surroundings and helping us every step of the way. I never felt alone or in danger. Ryan was so personable and kind, and he had such incredible enthusiasm for surfing which was infectious! It was great having Justin help out from the beach as well - he gave great pointers before heading back out, and made you feel welcome and at ease. I would recommend surfing lessons with this company hands down! You won’t be disappointed.

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Justin met me at the beach on time and ready to go. Clean wetsuit was provided, got changed and headed to the beat for instructions/lesson. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated so after about a 15-20 minute lesson we headed to the water. I got up on my first try. Justin had two of us that day to instruct and he stayed with us through the entire experience. Good guy, lots of fun. First time out and had a blast. I’m hooked.

    Surfs up!!

    Valeriya_L, Aug 2022
    Everything you would ever want on your first ever surfing experience. My husband got up several times and my 9 year old daughter did as well! I highly recommend this with Justin and Joey! Excellent and a memory that will last a lifetime!
