Greg went above and beyond to make my husband’s surfing lesson the best! He was very helpful when he had to reschedule due to weather and made this lesson happen on our busy schedule! Greg was thorough with instructions during the lesson and paid attention to my husband’s individual needs in order to be successful! Thank you Greg for your this support and the professional lesson!

Incredible experience! The knowledge and friendly staff helped my husband and I achieve success in surfing! From the dry ground demonstrations to the in water assistance, everything was way better than I could imagine! We were given booties and rash guards, which made a huge difference. We are both 55 and over, don't let your age stop you!

Surfing is a lot of fun, but also helps if you’ve got good cardio. If you don’t, you’ll still have fun, but you’ll be more tired. Go enjoy the waves.
So Fun!!!
