Erik was fantastic at teaching myself and my children (12 & 14). My son was quick to learn and was standing up on his second wave, whereas my daughter and... read more I needed much more help and patience which Erik provided in abundance. It really was a great experience and my son is desperate to go surfing again (not easy near London!)

Took surfing lessons with my 2 sons for my birthday. We had a great time. My kids did very well. Me, well, not so great. Our instructor was Caleb.... read more What a great guy. He was very patient and knowledgeable. He did a great job telling you what you were doing wrong and how to adjust. Great experience!

My husband had Caleb as his instructor, and had an absolutely amazing time surfing. Easy to schedule, reasonable price (not cheap, but worth it), and a terrific experience. My husband... read more was able to get up and surf on his first couple of tries thanks to good coaching and he had a blast. (I could tell from my seat on the beach!) Instructors are nice and encouraging!

I'm a 41 year old male, never surfed before, and my wife set me up with a private lesson as an anniversary present. We surfed at Mission Beach starting... read more at 10:30am in September. Great weather, great beach, consistent medium waves. My instructor was patient, friendly, chatty, and helpful. 90 minutes was plenty of time to get comfortable and stand up a few times, and then be ready for a rest since wading out over and over takes a toll.
The team was professional and friendly, and the merch is great. While I didn't pay for the photographer add-on, he still took pics of me, which I later was able to buy.
Other things to know: There is no restroom at the office so go at home, the beach ones are very used. They supply the wetsuit so you just need underwear, but you change in public on the beach so be prepared.
