My 10 year old and I took lessons today and it was great. From the time I called a few days ago to…read moreset things up to after the lesson everyone (and I mean everyone) we met at the shop was friendly and fun. The two instructors (10 and under needs their own instructor for safety) were great. Folks working the rental side chatted with me about board size and told me about folks bigger than me that come in to surf. When we got on site the waves were about 1 foot and the instructors offered me a credit because I am a big guy and they said the waves were probably not big enough for me to get a real lesson. I chose to go ahead mostly to hang with my son. They had my boy up and riding in no time. I was up as well, but not for long because I ran out of wave energy quickly due to the small waves. But they were focused on having fun and were always making suggestions and pointers while complimenting what I did get right. We are already planning our next surf outing and will be renting from the good folk at Cinnamon Rainbows.

We showed up at the meeting location for a surf lesson on time and there was no one here. We had…read moregone to the shop before heading to the meeting site and checked in and the woman said you're all checked in and apparently never alerted anyone that they were checked in. After I called the surf shop to advise them that there was no instructor at the meeting location, I was told who we were supposed to have as an instructor apparently "had a mixup in his schedule" is what the young lady said when calling. This isn't the first time this has happened. When we did this last year same situation of a schedule mixup. The young gentleman at the shop where you pick up your wetsuits are very pleasant and helpful. I was later called by one of the managers to let me know that they were refunding for the full cost of the lesson and that we would still get our lesson. They said they were refunding to apologize for the inconvenience of waiting over 30 minutes past our lesson time for an instructor to arrive.

I signed my 8 year old great-grandson up for five one hour lessons during our recent yearly visit…read moreto Hull. He had never been on a board before. He absolutely loved it! His instructor (Ronnie Lees) worked with him and got him up on the board, cruising to the beach the first hour. By the end of lesson #5, he was paddling out on his own, starting out on his own (no push), accomplishing simple turns and routinely surfing all the way to the beach. Being a Minnesota kid, this was a truly unique experience. Our only dilemma...next year do we sign him up for another five hour package, or a full camp? Needless to say, he wants to do both.

Great hours and in a great area. The shop has beautiful surfboards and skateboards. They also…read morehave hacky sacks, sandals, and more. You need to save up for one of their boards but they totally seem worth it. Plus, some of their skateboards are from an eco-friendly company that plants 1 tree for every certain number of boards sold. The employees were also really chill about me having my service dog and didn't really ask any questions (they just said "hello" to him and told me how cute he was). They also told me about great places around the area since I'm currently moving here. :)

Dominic, the friendly owner, took us 3 (total novices with 3 pretty distinctly differing ability levels) out, made us feel safe, gave us fantastic guidance, and taught us key skills that enabled us to have a great experience. This was summer 2020, mid-pandemic time, and we felt safe as far as protocols and were very grateful we could still rent the boards and enjoy a lesson. We took the 2-hr option and found it perfect for our novice needs. There was nothing I was looking for that I didn't find there and nothing I'd have changed about the experience. If you're looking to learn to stand-up paddleboard, I recommend a lesson with this group! Grateful!
