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.

Jeff was really kind. Someone who is very patient and chill is nice to have as a surfer instructor. He didn’t push me past my comfort level, but let me explore. I don’t have much experience surfing and he didn’t try to bombard me with too much information.
