My husband and I have been taking lessons from BigFoot Surf School for the past three summers, and we look forward to our weekend with Shaun and his crew each year. Learning to surf can be scary!

All 3 of us loved it so much, we've been back for lessons several more times. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable, safety oriented and incredibly fun to spend time with. Coaches are clearly skilled and can help anyone at all levels from beginners to advanced. Our family is hooked and counting down to next season.

When I got there it was closed and no sign of anyone. Called their phone a bunch of times, knocked on the door, and even left an email. Never received a single message... Google, Apple Maps, and their website all had totally different business hours. Their own website even has 2 different working hour infos... Definitely will never do business with them. On the bright side, I ended up going to Seaside in Oregon to a surf shop called "seaside surf shop". It was an extra hour drive but at least they had everything we needed and helped us out immediately. That's what a good surf shop does.

We all managed to get up on the boards and catch waves on our own. I had a bit of anxiety going into the water, but Lauren educated us on tides and surf etiquette before we got in. We are all different levels of swimmers and we all felt comfortable in the water with all the other surfers. I was also worried that I would freeze in the ocean in mid May, but the wet suits they provide kept me so warm that I couldn't even tell it was cold out. I will be returning for sure!

They did a great job explaining safety at the Oregon Coast in the beginning of the lesson that put my mind a bit more at ease for my three kids. They also taught them about rip tides and conditions to make a great surf day. They were able to get all 5 of us up repetitively in the water and helped give tips of how to advance to the next level. They were just lovely people and caring teachers. I would recommend NW Women's Surf Camp without hesitation and plan to use them again in the future!!!

Somehow, I decided that surfing might be a really fun thing to try before I croak, and I set my…read moregoals to give it a shot before I turned 50. I had heard nothing but wonderful things about NWWSC, and as I was seeking a safe, women-centered program, I decided to sign up with Lexie for a weekend camp with NWWSC. After meeting up with Lexie and Dennis at a reasonable time Sat. morning, and making sure we all had the correct gear, we made our way to our surf spot, a gorgeous Shangri-la of a beach, south of Seaside. We started off our lesson at an overlook by learning how to read the waves, what to look for when picking out your spot, and how to best time your session. Once we were on the beach, we continued covering all the essentials that would make for a safe first experience in the waves. I loved the pre-surf yoga she led us through, something I had never done on the beach, and a much needed warm-up to help us become more flexible and avoid injury. Once we had practiced some dry-runs of the essential 'pop-up', we were ready to head out to the water. I felt well-prepared and gave it my all, but I had some difficulty figuring out whether I was regular foot or goofy, and spent too much time on Saturday sorting it out. I was a bit discouraged as I watched the other women in our group sail past me, but I wasn't going to give up, and neither was Lexie. With her glowing positive attitude and encouraging personalized direction, she gently continued to push me a little farther. On the second day, when I finally stood up for my first wave, we both howled out loudly in unison! My first experience with Lexie at NWWSC was 2 yrs. ago. Since then, I've bought my first board, sought out and enjoyed surf spots all along the PNW coast, and treated myself to a vacation of warm water surfing in Hawaii. Me and my three closest surfer-girl buddies (all who have trained with Lexie) enjoyed an epic private coaching session with her last year, where she continued to push us and brought us to the 'outside'. When my daughter is ready, I will be eager to sign us up for a mother-daughter session with Lexie, as I know she will provide the kind, empowering mentorship my girl will need to ignite her stoke. After my first surf camp weekend, life has never been the same. I surfed all last weekend, will surf with my honey to celebrate our anniversary this weekend, and can't wait for another surfer-girl getaway in just a couple of weeks! I am eternally grateful for Lexie and NWWSC for giving me that initial stoke and all the essentials to safely enter the sport, and for all the fun, challenge, and excitement surfing has brought to my life.
