I recently took surfing lessons from Matthew in San Francisco and it was an absolute blast! He's such a patient and supportive instructor and he really knows his stuff when it comes to surfing. The lessons were super fun and I learned so much about the sport. Matthew even took the time to show me some cool tricks and techniques to improve my skills. I highly recommend his lessons to anyone looking to try their hand at surfing!

I took a few lessons from Matthew and had a great experience. He's a fantastic instructor and really knows how to make the lessons enjoyable. The location for the lessons was perfect and the equipment was top-notch. I felt like I was making a lot of progress in a short amount of time, and I'm excited to continue learning with Matthew. I'd definitely recommend his lessons to anyone looking to get into surfing.
