Great 1st Time Surfing Experience - My son and I enjoyed our surfing lessons today. The instructor was friendly and easy to follow. Although my surfing skills were not good, my 18 year old son did great! We’d recommend. Just note that it’s more difficult than it looks.

Successful first lesson for kids - This was the first time surfing for my grandkids. This is a must do if you are in the area. Our family had the BEST time! After the lesson, kids couldn't stop smiling and talking about it.

The perfect choice! - I had an enjoyable surfing lesson and the instructors were great! I’ve received 30 minutes instructions before going to the ocean. I got a bit intimidated by the waves but the instructors was there to guide me all the time ;)
