Jackson was our instructor and was very good with my nine-year-old son. Truth be told I'm a little envious that I didn't think to move to the beach of North Carolina, and give Surf Lessons during my Summer's. Great place and I highly recommend them.

He started her out with all of the knowledge she needed before they ever got in the water, which calmed her nerves. Once they got in, she did fantastic & made it up on the first run. For a very rough and windy day, she had a great experience with no regrets. She even received applause from other beach bums. Spencer put a LOT of effort into pulling her & making her experience so great. Would definitely take more lessons if we had the time.

I met Sean in Wrightsville beach while waiting on another small business owner to meet with me. He…read more, and one of his instructors with him, were extremely nice and informative. Very easy to engage with, receptive and patient. I observed first hand him working with the several various aged children. Making sure they had proper sizing of boards, educating on the surf and methods of maneuvering the board. They took time to answer all sorts of questions from the children. Including from us parents. After the children hit the water with them, I was speaking with the parents waiting and they shared how much their children loved the lessons and the instructors. When the kids came back, they were exhausted in a good way! Happy and of course starving lol I find this to be effective approach for learning the sport for those esp that may get overwhelmed or overstimulated by larger number of people in the group. But also if your child tried a camp and found they loved surfing this is great option to also feed their desire to keep learning and refining their surf skills.

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!

We were looking for a local beach chair rental company that was reasonably priced, close to our rental condo, & one where we could pick up the chairs (all the other places I shopped had strict delivery time windows.) Drop In Surf was exactly what we needed. Staff was friendly & helpful!

If i were in San Diego or pulling into Haleiwa it's understandable...but Surf City? North Carolina? I was near insanity, but too close to the shop to turn around. With the infuriating anger building I decided they had one chance to get my business. And it was slim. And what happened? Great, comfortable, friendly customer service. No pressure sales. Two days later and I'm back ordering a board from them. It's a nice little shop with pretty much everything you would need. Be sure to check out the consignment section...saw a cosmetically beat but great condition Hawaii Pro Designs longboard sitting in the back, in addition to a variety of short boards in varying conditions with varying prices. George is awesome. Send him your business. I've stopped into most other "shops" in the area and been brushed off, leaving me feeling like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (minus the prostitution). Lesson to other shops in the area...don't judge a book by its cover - you just missed out on $2k in sales this time around (not to mention future business), as I'll never go back to your establishments.

I texted the…read morenumber on the website asking if they could possibly accommodate a two hour ride instead of a three and James was very responsive and helpful. He asked for input about where we wanted to go on the ride but also offered great suggestions. It was a nice balance. The day of the ride was SO much fun. There were six of us and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. One of us has a bit of anxiety about boats and James was very reassuring. The island James took us to was peaceful and beautiful and it was amazing getting to float in the still water nearby. He even collected some shells for my toddler to bring home! James is not a Wilmington native but has been here for a while and has clearly worked hard on knowing the area well. The two hours flew by - we had such a great time. Before we got back I was thinking about when we could rationalize doing it again. Highly, highly recommend booking with Salty Feet. Full disclaimer that I know James through a friend, but that doesn't sway my opinion in any way. I'm not affiliated with the business and don't know James well.
