“Alayna was so awesome, upbeat & encouraging! She’s an incredible teacher and made the session so fun. She really helped me build my confidence and had clear and motivating feedback throughout. She also took time to explain reading waves and how to setup in the lineup. I can’t recommend her enough and hope to get out again with her next time I’m in town!”Maddie B., student

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.
Alayna gave me the confidence I needed. I have not surfed in years and even though the waves were the larger than I have surfed before, Alayna called out which one’s were surfable for my skill level and rode the longest wave I have ever had. Thanks Alayna. I’ll be signing up for more lessons this week and look dorward to working with you again next summer.
