Awesome!

Molly_K, July 2023

Awesome staff made sure we were comfortable and safe the whole time. Instructors were knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We had so much fun.

Response from Host, July 2023

Thanks for the amazing review Holly! We're all so glad you had a good time :)

Some great fun!

Darrell_S, July 2023

My wife and I really enjoyed this afternoon. Our instructors were awesome and did everything possible to make sure we felt both safe and comfortable. Once we were in the water and attempting to stand on our boards, they were very observant and offered constructive criticism as needed. Their support was both noted and appreciated. We had a lot of fun! Our only issue with this booking was the photographs after. We felt they were over priced and it was difficult to ascertain what the photos looked like before purchasing. It would’ve been nice if the company had some package offers as opposed to cost per picture. Overall a good experience that was a little tainted by photograph constraints.

Response from Host, July 2023

Thanks for the review Darryl- We appreciate the positive feedback and we're so glad you both enjoyed the surf lesson! In regards to the photos, the 3rd party we sell them though doesn't have the feature for us to add photo packages yet. However, we will take this on board for the future!

Definitely would recommend

The instructors are friendly and professional. We managed to learn how to catch a white wash by ourselves at the end of the lesson which is highly satisfying and rewarding.

We had a great time! The instructors gave clear instructions and were patient with beginners. We were in the water and trying things out on our own very quickly. Had an absolute blast and drank the salt water to prove it!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Hi Kali Lau, thanks for the great review. We are sorry the waves were a little big the day you surfed. For the most part they are ideal, but this is mother nature we are working with, and she sometimes likes to test us to keep us on our toes!

Awesome

Deanna_W, July 2019

The instructors were super efficient at giving us the key instructions to get us out into the water. Once we were in they were super helpful and supportive! Great teachers and such a great day. Also a huge bonus that it was at a dog friendly beach... HEAVEN.

Response from Host, Aug 2019
