    A huge thank you to Jenny who taught my 12 year old recently. She gave such clear instructions and really inspired him. Great spot to learn, not too busy. We are booking another lesson soon and also surf school over the summer. If you’re a beginner you couldn’t ask for a better instructor.

    My husband and I decided to take a surf lesson on our 25th anniversary trip to Del Mar. I booked on website and then called to ask questions. He called me back to answer my qs and then texted/communicated well--even a picture of where to meet so it was clear. Mike did our lesson and alternated between us so timing was perfect--as one surfed in. The other was coming back out. He gave us tips each time to help and we were both able to stand up a few times. It was a great experience--we had a blast and so glad we did it.

    I truly wonder if this company is a scam! I bought this "lifetime" experience through Groupon and since the beginning it was a mess. I couldn't get in contact with anybody as I tried to make a reservation for weeks. When I finally did Connie took my information and told me I would get an email soon with all the details. As the date was approaching I still hadn't received anything and didn't know what was going on I emailed and called several times. Nothing. Had my bf call with his phone and miraculously got an answer! Her excuse was I never gave her an email although I remember for sure that is the first thing she took down. She said we wouldn't know if we could fly until the day of. I drove 7 hours and showed up extra early to a parking lot waiting to hear what was going on. I called and she said she was busy to call back in an hour. In an hour on the dot she said "sorry we're not flying today and I can't reschedule right now on so busy"I was furious called Groupon and they reimbursed me right away. I called another balloon company they gave me an email within minutes and were able to tell me the day before at 8pm if the winds were okay to fly. Then she called me a few days later acting like a completely different person. I'm assuming Groupon got ahold of her. She is not the friendliest person and the service is horrible! Go to another company and don't waste your time here!

    Spent a recent early Saturday preparing, hiking a short distance and climbing on some pretty scary looking [ to me ] rock walls in Mission Trails Regional Park. I am not particularly fond of heights , but the crew working with us were all experienced climbers { from Chile} and their expertise and professional attitude helped keep me focused and enabled me to enjoy myself.
    I was tired but with some motivational directions from the ground I was able to make a climb that I was about to give up on. Only left a bit of skin on the rocks, but hey, it isn't fun until you have skin in the game literally.
    Climbing shoes, harness and helmets provided, but make sure you bring water, a snack and some sunblock. Most of the rocks seemed to face N or NW so until the last part of the day you are shaded fairly well.
    Recommend Southern Trails for a great time.
    This is a great activity to do with friends or as a couple.
    If afterward you are inclined there is a great Visitors Center in the park as well.

    My son has taken this camp in the afternoons during the summer. Very low key but encouraging teaching. Sol enjoys the kids (in fact, he's like a big kid himself!) as do the rest of the teaching staff.

    Make sure to remind your kids to reapply sunscreen.
