At first we were only going to do one hour but after being in the water we decided to go for 2 because we had gotten the hang of it.

Two summers ago, I took my first surfing lesson, but despite working with three different…read moreinstructors since then, I felt like a "sock in a dryer" struggling to catch a wave. Determined to make this summer different, I booked a hotel in Myrtle Beach and sought out surf lessons. When I stumbled upon nativesurflessons.com, something magical happened. As I explored the website, particularly the Meet The Instructor section on the About page, I felt an immediate connection with Chris, the instructor. His passion for surfing and genuine care for people shone through, making it clear that this was the right place for me. The warm greeting I received from his wife when I called to book my session was a wonderful taste of the famed "Southern Hospitality." And, let's be real, I didn't experience a literal beam of light descending from the heavens with a choir singing "Hallelujah," but that's exactly what it felt like when I read about Chris's dedication on the website. You know, that moment when everything just clicks, and you're like, "Yes, this is it!" When I arrived at Cherry Grove Pier, meeting Chris reaffirmed my decision. His welcoming presence and the sense of camaraderie in the air assured me that I was in good hands. Now, you might be wondering, "How was the lesson?" After three prior lessons with different instructors, I was a bit skeptical about whether I could truly grasp surfing. However, Chris proved to be one of the best instructors I've encountered, whether online or in person. His explanations of surfing, especially about the crucial pop-up technique and proper surfing stance, were unparalleled. Once we hit the water, he quickly assessed my skills and guided me with precision. In just a short time, he provided a few key tips that transformed my surfing experience. By the end of the lesson, I was catching my own waves--a milestone I hadn't anticipated reaching so quickly. Some may say it takes three lessons to surf, but in my case, it was about finding the right instructor. Chris at Native Surf Lessons has the knack for making dreams come true. Don't let age hold you back; I'm 52, and I've seen surfers in their 70s and 80s riding the waves in New Hampshire. As I write this review the day after, I'm still riding high, with the memory of yesterday's incredible experience etched in my mind. If you're considering whether Native Surf Lessons is the right place for you to learn, let me assure you, it absolutely is. I still remember him giving me the Shaka, going: "Yeah, Brother!!!" It was like I instantly became part of the surfing tribe. Don't hesitate; pick up the phone and call Native Surf Lessons to embark on an unforgettable surfing journey of your own!

During this time, I took my first flight with 1st CFI which was about 45min, I asked a ton of questions as to who would be my flight instructor, how long it would take and the cost. I was advised that the flight instructor will depend on a few factors, My schedule and compatibility. Great! On my second flight I was introduced to 2nd CFI, an older retired military pilot, we hit it off right away, during our first flight he introduced me to a few maneuvers, Slow flight and S-turns, he then asked if I have ever flown before, I advise just as a passenger. Things went well for the next 5 flights, Then Covid hit, for 3 months the school was closed. On 5/14 /2020 the school opened up and I was called, at that time I was advised the 2nd CFI would not be coming back so they paired me with a Younger CFI, I was concerned about this and because I began with 2nd CFI and already had time and money invested. It was explained to me that my log book will tell the story and not to worry because I would not have to start all over again that the new 3rd CFI will just continue where I left off with the 2nd CFI. I said OK and began working with 3rd CFI. We had flown from 05/14 /2020to 08/24/2021 fly approximately 3 to 4 times a month with some cancellations due to weather, maintenance and other life events. On 08/24/2021 we were scheduled to fly to Conway but I was advised that it would be my last flight with 3rd CFI as he was picked up by an airline which was great for him but my concerns grew once again, because I would have to work with yet another flight instructor. The next three flights were with 4th CFI, which was one of the worst instructors I had encountered in any profession. On the third flight I cut the flight short because he was too cavalier with safety and more concerned about building hours for himself rather than instructing. I had a conversation with him and provided him some feedback and explained that I cannot fly with him. At this point I was going to go elsewhere, the original owner at the time, apologized and got a new instructor and again my concern was time spent on training and money. She introduced me to my current instructor 5th, I was with him a few times and we also hit it off well. Here comes the hammer, the original owners decided to sell and retire, I was again concerned because I had accumulated 49 hours of flight training, 13.72 ground training and spent $10,785. Again, I was told not to worry that my logbook will tell the story and not much will change. Now 60.4hrs flight time, 21.64hrs ground a total of 82.32hrs and $13,720 spent, I was once gain mislead, the new owner has implemented a new process 6 months after he took over and without notice. According to this new process I am only now 30% completed and my instructor stated that unfortunately the time I spent with the school and instructor prior only will count as experience only. I didn't understand, experience comes from flying; I am paying them to teach. This feels to me as once the new owner took over everything prior is a wash. Now I am stuck, this is horrible.
