Exceptional - Absolutely wonderful group of instructors! They were so friendly and informative. Jackson was our main instructor and he was truly wonderful. My daughter and I had never been surfing and because of this experience I can’t wait to go again. I would highly recommend this amazing experience!

They started late and... - They started late and finished early. Closer to one and a half hours. Instructor barely got in the water. Was mostly watching from afar.

Memorable experience for teen! - The price was right and my 18 year old granddaughter took the lesson. Instruction was given on land but she was pretty much left on her own in the water. There were 6 individuals for one instructor and everyone was so spread out in the water and quite a ways out. I know it wasn’t easy for the instructor but he stayed on one end while my granddaughter on the other end could have used some advice, being her first time. She loved it though so that made it worthwhile.
