That lesson with Jeff really hit the mark for me. I appreciated how he broke down the fundamentals without overwhelming and kept things natural. Still, I think it would be helpful if he provided a bit more guidance on specific movements for next time, though I feel more confident about catching waves now. If you're into steady lessons that really focus on building your skills, definitely give Jeff a try.

Glad to hear Rebecca had a great time during her lesson. It’s nice when things click and she felt like she learned something useful. Alayna’s approach really helps build confidence in surfing. We are visiting San Diego so unfortunately no other lessons planned but will definitely have another lesson with Alayna when we are back. My daughter really liked her.
