I cannot imagine it going any better. My first run, I did on my knees. Next, I was standing up. I ended up coming in and watching my family. My kids were standing up and looking so comfortable on the board. This was an amazing adventure - the small class size of 2 people to 1 instructor is dead on perfect! Check this out and have fun!

WB Surf Camp is our best investment of summer 2022. Our instructor Jacob was great for my 15yo and…read more12yo kids, and I'm relying on their comments to make this review. Jacob made sure the kids mastered one skill before he introduced the next, and guided them to make their own choices about which waves to try. He offered really constructive advice as they learned balance and got their footing. He was enthusiastic, and he was just as excited as the kids were when they stood up for the first time. The kids had a great teaching experience, AND they caught some good waves! In addition, I really appreciated that the instructors check the conditions before lessons and making sure it was a safe environment to learn to surf for the first time. When an offshore storm made the conditions too rough for first time surfers, Jacob recommended we wait a day, and WB Surf Camp was able to adjust our lesson times to ensure everyone would have a safe and fun time in the waves. I felt confident entrusting my kids' in their care. We highly recommend Jacob and WB Surf Camp!
