Ryan_B, Jun 2025

It was supper fun and really easy to feel comfortable. My instructor was Kai and he was patient and easy to talk to. Took me a few tries to get up but once I did it all made sense.

Awesome People, Great Lesson!

Kameron_K, May 2025

Super awesome people and very informative lesson. Everyone I talked to was very pleasant and accommodating from the jump. I had to reschedule the lesson a couple of times, and Braden, Malachi, and AJ were all very easy to interact with. Once I finally got to the lesson, Malachi helped me to learn exactly what to do in order to be better at surfing in a calm and comfortable manner. 10/10 solid experience, would recommend to my family and friends!

Awesome Experience

Abi_M, May 2025

Awesome experience, I have never surfed a day in my life and was able to stand on the board after a few tries. Definitely recommend this experience for anyone wanting to try something new.

A C is a great instructor

Casey_G, Jun 2021

AC was a great instructor. He kept a positive and encouraging attitude the whole time. I'm 40 and my son is 13, so if he can get us up surfing, he can do it for anyone.

Best instructor ever! This guy is really able to transmit his experience surfing.

JESUS_C, Apr 2021

It was fantastic, I have never surfed before. However the instructions were really accurate, after 4 attempts the fifth I was able to stand on the table and finish the wave jumping to the sand, it was amazing!!! Thank you so much for the experience!
