That lesson with Parker was quite helpful, especially since he took time to clarify some surf techniques I hadn’t fully grasped before. Though I still need to work on catching waves more consistently, I feel like I'm slowly improving thanks to his calm approach. Still, I look forward to building on that and maybe focusing more on timing next time. If you're after a relaxed, practical lesson that helps develop good habits, Parker's a good option to consider.
Wow, Parker's a really cool guy and super down to earth as a teacher, which made the lesson feel pretty relaxed. His approach definitely stood out to me. Still, I think working on getting the pop-up down and right when I get on the wave would really make a difference. Overall, I felt like I learned a lot, and I’d suggest giving Parker a shot if you’re after a laid-back but effective surf lesson.
We are having a good experience with Parker in Newport Beach! He’s patient, knowledgeable, and makes learning to surf feel fun and approachable, even for total beginners. He gives clear instructions, great tips on technique, and makes sure we felt safe and confident in the water. Highly recommend his lessons for anyone looking to start surfing!
