Moving to the sunny state of Florida, we wanted to introduce our kids to the joy of outdoors and…read moreeverything the beach can offer. So, when my friend came to visit us we figured what better than surfing lessons? My husband met Ryan Ragan of Vast Oceans when Ryan was teaching another class. Ryan was patient, thorough and prepared. Our experience was that Ryan was not only prepared for our children with right size boards, but had a tent up for the parents to relax in the shade on a very hot day. (Chair not included. So bring one!). Ryan went over board safety, how to fall properly so as to not get hurt, when to exit the board so as to not get hurt, proper board care, style and grace, how to get out into the surf, the steps of getting up on the board. He helps the kids get confidence and comfort. He does not push them to go beyond comfort zone but continuously reminds them what steps they will be doing. He is patient and kind. Definitely wants kids to have the joy of surfing and solid instruction. What to bring: long sleeved sun shirt (aka rash guard) sunscreen for legs and all other exposed areas, towel, chair (if you want to sit) your cell phone or camera for some great photo opportunity's if you are watching. Bring a snack and drink. You will have a break and it's a great time to get hydrated and apply sunscreen on legs again. Don't forget to tip!

My son was scheduled for an Advanced Motor Cycle Training course in Atlanta in June 2014. He needed…read moreto take the course as a court mandate for a speeding ticket he was issued. Just prior to taking the course in Atlanta, my son was hit by a car and needed surgery. So I cancelled the class in Atlanta and called James Kuespert at Volusia to see if he would offer the course to my son once he got down to FL for college. James said he normally doesn't conduct the course until enough riders sign up, but that he would make an exception for my son and provide him 1 on 1 training. At that time, I offered to pay James his full rate plus a tip equal to the full rate understanding that he was going out of his way for my son. I was very grateful. Initially James Kuespert was sympathetic to the fact that a fellow rider (my son) was hit by a vehicle, and James said, "no problem man, you don't need to worry. I'll take care of your son when he gets down here for college. Just call me after gets to FL." So today, we call James Kuespert of Volusia Motorcycle Training, and he does an about face, declaring that the only way he will work with us is if we pay him $600 and not a penny less. He was very rude and refused to even work with my circumstances. I would not have been compelled to write this review were it not for the fact that James misled me back in June. I offered to pay him then but he acted like it was no big deal. Today... he is making a very big deal out of this. So, now I am scrambling to find a course in FL as a result. Moreover, when I called James Kuespert to discuss why things had changed, he hung up the phone on me. He made it very clear that customers are not important to him or Volusia Motorcycle Training. I guess he fails to realize the power of word-of-mouth. Don't use this company. This guy is a liar.

Just saw this guy's review about a class he wanted for his son in the Daytona area. Too bad he…read morelies so much. Our normal rate for the class back then was $200. Told this guy we could get his son done for the normal amount, but he was adamant he needed a private class. I always try to get people to save their money and take a normal class for a lot less money. If people absolutely want a private class; you pay for it. We typically charged $900 for one person on a private class back then, but I gave him a huge discount. I'm sorry, but we don't work for free like this guy may think. It takes the same amount of time to do a class for a single person versus a full class of 12 people. I guess he thinks a "tip" will take care of this. I don't think so. We've been in business teaching for over 50+ years. We are the oldest training facility in the Nation, much less the state of Florida. Another thing is I told this fellow, if we could get someone else to share the class, his fee would go down - didn't happen. He needs to learn there is no such thing as a free lunch. I'm sure he doesn't work for free either. If anyone wants a class with good, friendly teachers who will teach you a lot, then we're the ones who can do it. The key is lowering the stress level by joking and having fun with us - and we will make it happen for you. Call us for more information on this post or our classes and locations - Thanks James 386-756-4733
