Shane and Josh were positive, encouraging, patient, and inspiring throughout the entire session. Their passion and enthusiasm made such an impact that our son finished his morning lesson from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and couldn't wait to come back for an evening ride from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The entire experience was truly amazing. Thank you both for creating lifelong memories and helping build our son's confidence and excitement. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do. We will absolutely recommend you to others and will definitely be back. Please continue inspiring young people the way you do. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Rich G

I didn't know how affordable and approachable surf rentals and lessons could be! Rod and his wife…read morerun the place, and they are both genuinely cool people who want you to have a great experience. I decided the day before we went to give it a try for the first time with me and my two sons. Rod made me feel like I was his only customer, even though all of his lessons and classes were fully booked. Since he couldn't fit us in officially we just did rentals, and he still found time between lessons to give me and my sons quick free lessons and encouragement, and he got all of us up on a wave for the first time. He even managed to get some pics for us! I had no idea what to expect with a rental, but Rod clearly wants all of his customers to enjoy themselves, and goes out of his way to make it happen. Next time we'll definitely plan ahead and book lessons to raise our chances of catching more waves and more fun. I highly recommend renting from Rod, and trying to book a lesson!

The pedaling was labored, and the chain on our family bike popped off not once, but twice, leaving us stranded in traffic. This wasn't just an inconvenience--it was a safety hazard.

An appalling lack of customer care.

While perusing the…read morenet on whats the cheapest most effective route to take, I came across Jason's web site www.californiakiteboarding.us. I saw several verities of quadcopters that could mount my Gopro camera's. Now I was hooked. I ordered a quad, and shortly afterward received an E-mail from Jaso, he stated that he's gotten recent negative reviews on the item that I ordered, he picked out a selection of quad's that may provide me with greater satisfaction. Jason brought on a good case and I ordered the Naza 450, and transmitter too. What California Kite Boarding does that is over the top, they put together the quad, marry the transmitter to the quad, and then fly it to determine that it works. They then mail it out to you. Jason also provides over the phone instruction, which is something that I found out that I need. I really appreciate what Jason has done, California Kite Boarding, is a business I'll frequent!

My young nephew is now going through his certifications, and I'm again reminded just how awesome this shop is. The owner Chuck is the nicest guy. He always goes above and beyond in helping clients out. From fitting gear, to sharing stories, he's incredibly helpful and never pushy. His heart is always in it. On top of that, he's a legend in the community. All the dive professionals I know (marine bio, search and rescue, etc) recommend Chuck, for good reason. The shop itself is well stocked with the highest quality gear, and Chuck stands by all rentals, purchases, and services. This makes it well worth continuing to support the shop, because he'll be there when you need it. My nephew's instructor Kim W has been AMAZING too. She has infinite patience and her highest priority is creating safe and knowledgable divers. Zero rushing through any of the material. Very compassionate and understanding of what new divers are going through. I couldn't recommend this place more, go see Chuck and find out why!
