The instructor was outstanding- detail oriented and so joyful. Very caring and inclusive attitude and very safety conscious
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.
No prior surf experience before, yet I felt so comfortable during this experience. Would recommend to anyone curious to try something new.
Fantastic instructors!!
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?
Excellent team that will teach you how to surf in no time! I highly recommend to join one or two classed. You wouldn't be disappointed.
Very knowledgeable instructors! Helped me to take my skills to the next level! Really recommend this class.
I need to go again. It was a awesome experience. Instructor were very helpful and patiently helped me .
Al was awesome! A very thorough and genuinely interested instructor. This was my first surfing experience and it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot!
Loved it! Great instructors. Caught a wave. Would definitely go back and highly recommend them! Wish I could have done more lesson just for the fun of it
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.

Thanks for the kind words! We'll get you out there ASAP!
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.
