My two daughters and I waited in line for over an hour on Monday 7/13/20. As we stepped up to the…read morefront of the line to the doorway of the entrance to allow some social distancing from people behind us (as others before us did) we were abruptly told by one of the sales or management to step away from the door in a nasty tone. It was a hot day and I said to my daughter "she let everyone else stand near the door..." in which the salesgirl or manager muttered something under her breath and then walked over to whisper to the girl at the cash register. We finally went into the store. My younger daughter (11 years old) was looking around. We finally purchased some items... at the counter the girl who rang us up was curt with us as well. When we exited the store my younger daughter told me that one of the employees (female) had looked at her and said "who F****d up these t-shirts?" Wow!!!!!! horrible and to a child. It's bad enough to stand in lines and try to social distance to then be treated like total crap when you enter a store. Never again. Will contact corporate as well!

Saw an ad on Instagram about Daddy & Me lessons for swimming, and we couldn't pass up the chance…read more We ended up taking our 3 month old to Rafe & Co Sports Club in Bellmore and were definitely not disappointed. The level of care and professionalism far exceeded my expectations, and we can't wait to continue our swim lessons. Getting our son comfortable with the water is high priority for us, and Rafe & Co was able to help us achieve that. Thanks to Joey and team!

Our kids were 2.5 years old and 8-9 months at the time of our lessons. We will definitely be using what we learned this summer and are recommending Rafe & Co to all our friends. I see more lessons in our future - they do surf too!

I have prepaid for 4 hours of lessons, and Tim has failed to fulfill his side of the deal. He still owes me $300 and is unresponsive. We met at Rockaway Beach for an intro lesson which only lasted 1 hour due to poor wind conditions which was fair enough. He seemed like a nice guy and when he asked that I pre-pay for the next lesson I obliged. The lesson that was scheduled for the following week never happened. I tried several times to meet up with him again throughout the summer with no success. Numerous times, appointments were made and cancelled due to "lack of wind," or worse he simply did not show up (when there was wind!). After the third time I made my way out to Rockaway beach only to have Tim cancel on me last minute or go radio silent, I requested a refund. He never got back to me when he said he would and voicemails were left unanswered. I had to call him at least 4 - 5 times to get a response. The last straw was when he claimed to be at the beach checking out the conditions and told me he would get back to me. I took the A train out to Rockaway beach to at least get a few hours in, but it turned out he was lying. He never made it out to the beach that day. Following the refund request, a few half hearted attempts were made and eventually he ceased to return my phone calls or emails. A quick google search for "Tim Nugget" shows a history of similar cases. I.e. requesting sample kites and never returning them or paying for them. This should be fair warning of Tim's character and trustworthiness. Here is a link to a message board where someone seems to have tried to alert future customers. It is a shame that I didn't find this earlier. http://www.ikitesurf.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16116 I did eventually get my kiteboarding lessons, but in Turks and Caicos with KiteProvo. They were awesome. TL DR: KiteControl will be a waste of your time and money. Tim owes me $300. Please do yourselves a favor and stay away.
