    What a fantastic experience! We did a private lesson for our family - our children were each provided their own instructor - and, even though we were all complete novices, we all ended up successfully catching waves!! The instructors were amazing - kind, knowledgeable, and so encouraging. It was by far the highlight of our trip!

    We signed up our three kids (ages 16, 12, 9) and they absolutely loved it. Their instructor made them all feel super comfortable, and they all left able to surf 🤙🏻 Highly recommend this experience!

    10/10 novice surfing experience!

    We had an incredible experience learning how to surf with SALT. Elias was extremely knowledgeable, easy going and a great overall teacher of the sport. He guided a couple of novices to get up and riding some waves in just a few short hours. 10/10 recommend!

    Local guys doing it right
