5.00Taking my first lesson right before I turn 50 was amazing with your help. All your patience and clear instructions guided me through. Most of all your encouragement pushed me through and what a great memory! I had a blast learning with my daughter and I can’t recommend your lessons enough. Best day ever!

5.00This was on my 30 before 30 bucket list and I absolutely had the best time! My mom & I went & it’s a memory I’ll never forget! Our instructor made it so easy to learn and we could stand up on our first few tries! Will be coming back for more surf lessons in the future

5.00Learning to surf was a "bucket-list" item for my daughter, who we booked the Learn To Surf lesson for. I don't think that it would be possible to have a better experience than we had with Justin and Mike. Justin took the time in the shop to go over some basics and warm up and then we headed out to the water. Justin walked us through a brief history of surfing in Florida (I had no idea!), safety and on-shore coaching before getting out there. Once on the water, Justin took the time not just to assist my daughter to catch her first wave (she did!), but also teach her correct form, how to correct mistakes, and even how to spot good waves. By the end, he was having her pick the waves to go after; which is knowledge that will transfer to the next time we go. Justin and Mike were very supportive and it was clear that their goal was not just to have "catching a wave" be the main event, but truly instructing how to surf, which I really appreciated. Their passion for the sport was apparent. Thanks so much, guys, for a great experience for my daughter (and all of us!).
