Awesone experience for first time surfers - My 19 and 17 year old first-time surfers had a great time with Jonny and his surf staff. They know what they are doing, provide enough teachers for thr class for a good experience, have all the supplies, and made it a wonderful experience. The water and the beach were pretty cold but my kids were warm enough to do the lesson wearing the wetsuits that the school provided. Thanks!

Great surf lessons! - Amazing instructors. Took great care of our 13 and 9 year old kids. Very chill and easy crew. Can’t go wrong. They took the time and ensure the kids had over two hours in the water.

Great first time experience with the ocean - My kids had an amazing experience with the surfing lesson! The instructor was patient and made learning fun. He provided clear guidance and helpful tips, which made it easy for beginners like my kids to catch some waves. The equipment was in great condition, and the atmosphere was friendly and encouraging.

The best first-time surfing experience we could ask for! - 10/10 experience. Truly a great event that our entire family enjoyed. The instructors were caring, kind, fun, and especially with my little kid, took care of them so I could focus on my surfing. I never had a moment where I felt like I couldn't have fun, my kids were not watched, or that as an adult getting judged. It was truly about getting in the water, catching waves, and a positive, FUN experience. When we scheduled we originally booked for an afternoon, but had to reschedule to another morning due to weather conditions- it was super easy to do so. When we arrived that morning, everything was well organized, punctual, time was kept, and they made sure to maximize our time on the boards and in the water.

First time surfers! - My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with our surf lessons. It was our first time. The instructors were super positive and patient. They give you wet suits and boards. Before you head out into the surf they have you stretch, warm up, and give you a tutorial on the proper form. The instructors are out there with you helping and encouraging you the entire time, but they also give space to go at your own pace. Surfing isn’t easy but we caught a lot of waves. Awesome experience would recommend to everyone!

Amazing experience! - My 2 teenagers had an incredible time. Jon was so friendly and his team of instructors went above and beyond to make sure the boys felt confident and they were up on their board in no time. We specially love that they made sure that each instructor only had up to three students so everyone got plenty of attention. We first had scheduled for only one class but the boys enjoyed it so much that we ended up coming back on the next day too.
