Such a personal experience!

My family and I booked a private family lesson with Jenn and Ivan. Jenn was simply a saint and an amazing coach with the two younger kids (9-11). Ivan gracefully and wittingly managed my wife, our 13 year old and myself. Safety was the first...More

Wonderful time learning SUP!

I booked just two days in advance, and it was easy to communicate with Jenn and Ivan. Although I booked a group lesson, it turned out to be a private lesson because of cancellations. :) Jenn was an amazing instructor! She really knows the sport,...More

Awesome Surfing Experience!

Ivan and Jenn were extremely accommodating to our last-minute request (4 hours notice) for our group of 5 first-time surfers, ranging in age from 13-18. They passionately shared their knowledge of surfing to our children and made them comfortable in the open ocean. Friendly and...More

Awesome experience

We had a 4 person group and Ivan and Jenn were great. Very professional and excellent instructors. We never surfed and by the end of the lesson we were all standing on our boards..and we aren't spring chickens.
