The instructor was very patient and fun and made a great day for our group! We were able to surf on small waves after just one lesson!

It was a very good experience for a beginner’s first weekend. Alan manages Adventure Out Surfing Clinic and is very helpful.

The instructors always make the difference. David was great, keep us safe and standing on the surf board. What more can a beginner ask for?

It was alot of fun! The instructors I had this time were the absolute BEST! Being able to stand up was such a highlight for me

Having an instructor be by my side and encourage me helped the surfing process a lot. I would have been much more hesitant learning without an expert.

Nous avons passé un super moment , le prof qui nous a accueilli était très sympa et très pédagogue. Nous avions peur d'avoir froid mais finalement nous avons tellement été pris par l'activité que nous en avons oublié la température de l'eau !
L'équipement fournit est très efficace. A faire absolument si vous passez en Californie !

Thank you!!!

Les coachs de surfs ont été vraiment super, ils nous ont enseigné la base des courant et des vagues pour surfer et être en sécurité dans la mer. Puis une fois la partie sur la plage terminé ils nous ont accompagné un à la fois vers une réussite de surfer sur une vague.
