Richard_B, Dec 2025

Too many surfers together not all same level. Too slow to learn. 8 people too much and teenagers with old people does not work. They learned nothing.

More Mo for Surf Lessons!

Our surf instructor, Mo, was amazing. His instruction and help with our family lesson was fantastic. He was very reassuring and relaxed, which helped us all. We had a terrific time out on the water and everyone caught waves. The surf shop is cool and everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful.
