“So guide was nice and location was great for us. Our lesson happened to be scheduled on a day with super challenging conditions- not a day for learners (11/24). Biz owner should have canceled/rebooked. Instructor did his very best, we had a scary situation, and we are so thankful for his good care.”

“I was extremely nervous to try surfing but Jarred was so kind and empathetic. His gentle energy was perfect for a timid first timer like myself. He tailored the lesson so my more experienced husband could catch waves and I felt protected and safe the whole time in the water. Jarred gave me the confidence to catch some mini waves and I have the best time doing it. My husband and I had the best time and are so grateful to Jarred. Wonderful experience we highly recommend. Thanks Jarred for making our time surfing safe and enjoyable!”

“Taj was kind, and informative. He was concerned with our safety and the we had a great experience. The activity is 2 hours. The safety briefing was 5 minutes. Instruction was much appreciated. We didn't last the 2 hours because we were exhausted. Taj gave us the option to rest and go back out. He paddles at twice our speed! We learned so much from Taj! He and other surfers have our respect.”
