We had the best lesson with Elliot who was an epic instructor and really took his time with us, was patient and very helpful despite the big waves we faced on the day. Would definitely recommend Wavehuggers, their communication was second to none beforehand and provided an overall great experience!

Elliott was awesome. The kids really enjoyed the time, and got up on the board a few times in some good surf. Would recommend to anyone who's never surfed

This is Brittney, one of the students, and Brian was amazing he was very clear on instructions and was awesome at teaching us how to surf! Brian was really good at making sure we understood and was able to tell us what we should fix to get a better surf. I already knew that I would love surfing but with Brian he made me understand more about it and made it way more fun than I thought, it would be. I don't know how much Brian gets paid to do this but I think he definitely deserves a raise! Brian if you're reading this I just want you to know that you're awesome and to keep doing this because you're really good at it! Thank you so much!
