Their instructor, Christian, was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, encouraging, and really knew how to connect with them. They both started as complete beginners, and by the end of the lesson they had not only gotten up on the board but also left with real confidence and a solid understanding of the basics. Most importantly--they had a blast. They're already talking about getting back out there and taking the next steps! Highly recommend for anyone with kids (or adults!) wanting to learn to surf in a fun, supportive environment.

He was always quick to follow-up, reach out, and took time with every question and consideration we had. Very competitively priced and well worth every cent. As a bonus, his buddy Bryan Simmons took photos to capture our memories. He did a great job and similarly offered wonderful customer service and flexibility. Would definitely use Bryan again, too!

And dont forget to bring a little cash to tip your teacher/instructor at the end of your lesson. It is a service job :)

Don't let outside appearances fool you! This little shop located in an industrial area of Merritt…read moreIsland is fantastic! I had previously been to SoBe Surf Shop with a friend after we took a SUP lesson by the shop's owner, Girard, after she purchased her board from him. When she purchased her board, it included a free lesson and she was able to bring a friend. I was so glad she let me go along because even though we had both been paddling for several months, we both knew our technique could use some work and Girard's instruction definitely helped! Our lesson took place a couple of miles from his shop at the Brevard Vererans Memorial in a little Cove just behind the memorial. The lesson itself was great - there were only three of us so after giving us a brief lesson, Girard took the time to watch our paddle technique and make suggestions for adjustments so we were able to practice and immediately get constructive feedback. Girard was very patient and clear in his instruction and by the end of our session I was able to fix the issues with my paddle technique. The shop itself isn't anything fancy, but it serves its purpose. He has a number of different stand up paddleboards in stock, and carries high quality brands ar various price points so you should be able to find one that is perfect for you. My friend and I had both done quite a bit of research on the type of board we wanted and what features were important to us. Girard is incredibly knowledgeable and great at explaining the differences in the boards and how they affect it's use. He carries boards that are perfect for touring, racing and yoga. He is not a pushy salesman at all, which I loved. He also carries different accessories like leashes, paddles, waterproof cases, car racks, apparel, and even ukeleles!! After my friend purchased her SUP, I was pretty sure I wanted the exact same one and Girard was great answering any of my questions either by phone call or text messages. He was always quick to respond. Once I was ready to purchase my board, he let me put a deposit down (using my credit card) on the SUP I wanted. I had also talked to him about my need for a soft rack pack for my car and he ordered one to keep in the shop, but said there was no pressure to purchase it. My board package came with a leash, carbon fiber paddle, and cover bag. I also ended up purchasing the soft rack pack for my car. Girard was so helpful, teaching me how to install the racks and load my board safely and securely. I got home via highway roads with no concerns or issues about the safety of my board on my car while driving 70mph! Check out the shop's website for more information about his tours and lessons as well as information on SUP techniques. The website is very useful. https://sobesurf.com Based on my personal experience with Girard on the lesson and purchasing a new SUP from him, I definitely recommend contacting him if you're in the market for a SUP, want to take a guided tour, or a lesson. I live in Winter Garden, FL and making the road trip to purchase a board and lesson from him is well worth the drIve!!!

I had no idea what to expect as I knew nothing about Tom other than what the ad said. Any skepticism was quickly diminished! I had a fabulous lesson in the Thousand Islands area of Cocoa Beach. Tom is a gifted instructor who was able to cover safety issues and some of the basics before we ventured into the water. He had me on the board and trying to get my "sea legs" in no time. Tom gave helpful tips throughout the lesson, was encouraging, and always kept a watchful eye giving pointers as necessary. The scenery was great as we saw dolphins and osprey during our session. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience including the great relaxed conversation we had throughout our time together. I am 57 years old and had never tried this but always wanted to. So very glad I did. My wife and two daughters have expressed interest in trying SUP. I was so thrilled about my experience with Tom that I am already planning a family outing with him when we get back to the area in December. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. He really knows his stuff.
