Tubular! - My instructor was super helpful and knowledgeable. The ocean was rough on this particular day but that didn’t stop him from making sure I got the most out of the experience. Super fun for my first time!

Limited-to-no Instruction. Mainly Surfboard rental - This should be labeled as surfboard rental instead of a lesson. You get a 2 minute overview on how to stand on a surfboard, and then very limited help in the water (mainly consisting of getting a push on the waves). There is no instruction whatsoever on how to actually surf on your own. The "instructor" gives a push every 10 minutes or so and then leaves you at the hour mark. You would have better luck watching a Youtube video on how to surf and renting a surfboard for much cheaper. That said, it's a good opportunity to have semi-supervised surfing time.

Not a great experience - Big group with limited guidance, the board is not beginner friendly and the leg leash comes off for both me and my partner, feeling not safe for beginners

Was hopeful for a good... - Was hopeful for a good experience as we had taken surf lessons with a different company before that was really memorable, but was disappointed in the quality of the surfboards, which were foam boards and they only had one size. For taller people who would benefit from longer boards, these weren't an option. We arrived early for check-in, but nobody arrived until a few minutes after the start time, then we had to wait for an additional 15 minutes for the instructor to be able to access the boards. The instructor was friendly. Wouldn't book this experience again.

Meh - They stack and layer lessons so if you’re a beginner don’t expect any real coaching or assistance. You’ll learn how to paddle and get boosts into the waves but that’s about it
