“I am the father of 5 year old triplet boys. I’ve taken them to the beach for years but I’ve never been successful in getting them into the water. When I signed up for Brett’s camp, which is five days a week, I was a little worried that they wouldn’t be up for all five days in a row. After the first day when I picked them up I was shocked to hear how much they loved it. They are very adventurous but often can get burned out on constant activity. They couldn’t wait to go back the next day and every day after that was the same. Brett slowly got them in the water more and more and eventually had them standing up surfing. They haven’t been this into an activity their whole lives. After a few days they were calling Brett, uncle Brett LOL.”

Brett guided myself and 2 other business associates who I surf with occasionally. He helped us navigate the lineup and learn the basics of surf etiquette and also on a second occasion opened our eyes to some new surf breaks
