Instructor was great

My son first time in the ocean had a blast and the instructor had him on the board and catching a wave in no time.

Helpful instructor

The instructor was great and he helped me a lot. He gave me great comments and was helpful. In the beginning, he told me the easy stuff. Then we went out and he helped a lot

Welcoming Experience

Stephen_H, Apr 2022

Great check-in experience with warm greetings from the staff. Our instructor was friendly, kind, and patient as my daughter learned to navigate the waves. She had a wonderful time learning to surf! My daughter was always near the instructor - was never concerned with safety. Would book this again!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

We are so happy you had an awesome experience with us! We can't wait to have you back in the water with us!

Great time. Great instructors.

Brian_D, Jul 2021

We all had a blast and had done great instructors! From a 55 year old all the way down to an 18 year old, we all learned to get on the wave. Easier for my kids than me, but it was well worth the private lessons!
