5.00Mikey was an awesome instructor. He went fast in the beginning to make sure we had enough time in the ocean. He would watch each person as they went and somehow remembered the details and provided specific tips, even after he'd observed multiple other people since he watched you.
Fun time!!

5.00couldn’t be more impressed with this surf company! From the moment I placed my order to my first session out on the water, everything was top-notch. The board quality is good — lightweight, durable, and perfectly balanced for both beginners and experienced riders. You can tell these guys actually surf and care about the craft.

5.00Micky was great! It was a safe learning environment with great instructions. His knowledge and patience was appreciated. His assistance with pushing the board to catch a wave was on point. Had a great time.

5.00The description does not lie! Was up and surfing by my second try! This activity is SO fun. Make sure you’re in for an arm workout because it sure is tiring but so worth it! The instructor does an on land demonstration first and then takes you out into the water and finds the best wave for you!
Instructor mocking student… it’s a beginner class.

2.00Teacher mocking one of the people in our party in Spanish to the other instructor, about the way someone was holding their hands. My girlfriend speaks Spanish which the instructor didn’t know. It’s a beginner class… obviously people are not going to be doing it perfectly. Super unprofessional and discouraging. Instructor Jae was very patient and helpful. Other teacher not so much.

5.00The whole experience was great. Our teacher, Sofia was the best. Totally friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, warm and down to earth. My friend is less coordinated than me and we both got up and surfed. Success!!! I thought it was going to be harder. But with the right instruction, it was a piece of cake! Muchas Gracias!!!
Just do it!!
