My son looks forward to every lesson and feels so comfortable with him. You can tell Coach James genuinely enjoys working with kids and really cares about helping them succeed.

Everyone I talked to was extremely nice. This dropoff/pickup is so much easier than trying to rent, pack it up, bring it out, pack it back up, and bring it back (especially when you're coming from an hour away!). I'll definitely be using this service again!

I was nervous about finding the instructor on the beach but the directions given to me were so clear that I was able to locate them with no problem! The instructor was so kind and patient to answer all of my questions (even ones regarding sharks). The lesson included instructions about the ocean, surf safety, and surf etiquette. I really appreciate the fact that the instructor would stay in the water helping my son and others as they tried to catch waves. My son was so thrilled about the entire experience; he was smiling from ear-to-ear. The most exciting part was being able to get several pictures of him surfing. I highly recommend yougosurf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compare prices and credentials, this is better for the money. This seems expensive because they…read morewant you to book all four lessons at once, but they will do a single. Matt is very direct and forthcoming, some may be uncomfortable with that. If you just want a lesson so you can say you did it, this might not be your place, but if you really want to learn to surf, this is your place. He will take care of tourists, though they're best suited to the serious-minded. He has maybe six hired instructors who are all great. They are all very patient. I highly recommend the four lesson curriculum. (Could you learn the guitar after one lesson?). Learn from best and take advantage of the excellent teachers. I can surf now.

I also paid Matt…read morefor an in-shop council and I have an amazing board now, great equipment, and without question I ended up saving money, even with Matt's fee. He really put in the time to hunt down and find me a killer board. The reason I decided to join a surf school verses having a friend teach me or paying for one of the watered-down, one-lesson, shove-you-in-the-white-water options other schools provide is that I know from other sports that you get what you pay for. For example, I've been an aggressive snowboarder for years and learned by taking proper lessons from the get go. I've always been able to spot people who aren't properly taught--even the ones that have multiple seasons under their belt. They look sloppy and unbalanced. Sure, they get by, but why would you simply want to get by? Get the proper foundation to grow from so you can be safe, progress quickly, and have fun! Here's a tip, if it's off-season and you are thinking of learning surfing, DON'T wait; do the lessons before high-season. It's cold but that's what wetsuits are for. There are less people in the water, less people taking lessons so you get Matt's full attention (not that his instructors aren't top-notch, but he simply has more years of teaching experience), and you have time to practice and feel confident and ready when summer hits! I look forward to taking advance lessons once I am ready to progress to the next level.
