Honestly, I appreciated how Jose manages to keep the lesson practical, making steady progress seem achievable. The highlight for me was learning new skills, though catching waves could still improve, but I’m optimistic about that. Still, it’s a solid step forward and worth trying if you’re into surfing with an instructor who genuinely supports growth.

What a refreshing lesson with Jose, his thoughtful, patient guidance helped me sense progress in just two sessions, and I’m already picking up basic skills plus surfing etiquette. Small tweaks in water positioning will unlock the next wave, and I’m excited to push ahead.

Mikey’s the best! He’s patient, encouraging, and brings a great attitude to the learning process. He gives concrete specific feedback to improve each session. I’ve had a few surf instructors and he’s definitely one of the best! Highly recommend!

My surf lesson with Michael was amazing! He is such a patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructor. I especially appreciated how he paid attention to the small details of my technique and helped me feel much more confident on my longboard.

Mitt is a wonderful coach and a cool guy. I immediately felt comfortable with him and safe under his guidance. He is experienced and skilled not just in surfing, but in teaching surfing. Learned a lot in just 1 lesson, can’t wait for more.
