Natasha was an awesome instructor! My son had a great time and learned a ton. He feels confident in being able to practice the skills he learned in future trips on his own.

David was a fantastic instructor! My teen son learned a lot from him and really enjoyed surfing! The waves were larger than he had surfed previously so I (mom) appreciated that he had someone experienced out there with him.
