"The surf teacher John was friendly & gave me very concrete feedback. I made so much progress that day! One of my best surf lessons ever! :)

I’ve taught several people so far, I’ve surfed for over 20 years. I have a go with the flow kind style. I want to know what I am working with so I’m going to have the student practice there pop up on the beach. Check them on what they should work on and then advance.
