Well worth it - Super easy to book and very affordable. The instructors were cool and did a great job teaching a couple of Arizona desert dwellers how to surf. I only wish I had done it earlier in our vacation!

The best first surfing lesson I could’ve asked for! - Our instructor was incredible, great vibes and he was meant to tech. So much patience and encouragement! As a complete beginner with my young son tagging along in less than ideal conditions, we felt safe and well taken care of! I would absolutely do it again! It is quite the workout so be prepared to be sore the next day 😅

I had to try to surf…I failed. - Our surf sensei, David, was absolutely great. Very knowledgeable, very effective instruction, very positive and encouraging. I was a terrible student…surfing for an overweight fifty-seven dad isn’t as easy as it sounds. David maintained his enthusiasm with this ole traveler. My older kids loved it and enjoyed reasonable success and best of all…I got to hang out with a monk seal. Great morning.
