Super fun day!!! Ive never been surfing before and this was definitely the right choice. Christian was such a great instructor, made it easy to learn. I cannot wait to book with him again!

My 3 kids just had surf lessons with Christian and they had a blast. They were up and surfing right away! I would definitely recommend coming here for lessons.
Madison McLaughlin
We had such a blast surfing. Our instructor Christian was so great and had us up and surfing our first wave in the water. He was so patient and helpful the entire time. We had everything we needed to be successful and confident on the water. We cannot wait to come back and surf again! I cannot recommend this guy enough!!
Davey Friedman
Awesome first surf lesson!! My instructor, Christian, was super thoughtful, gave really clear tips, and totally met me where I was as a beginner. I felt totally relaxed, encouraged, and dialed in the whole time. And I got up on 4 waves my first session. Couldn’t have asked for a better surf intro!!!
David William
We booked a semi private lesson for 2 teenagers with one previous lesson. Christian was our instructor and he was fantastic. He was safety conscious and had a great attention to detail. Within the first 20 min both my kids were up and surfing. Highly recommended.
Shoshannah
My 15 year old son had a great experience with Christian. We've done lessons elsewhere, and this was the best. Super professional, safe, and generous with time in the water.
