I recently took four days of surf lessons from this group and had an exceptional experience. Every interaction that I had with AO was top-notch. As I was researching and comparing different programs, I immediately noticed how well designed the webpage was. The class overviews and scheduling are very easy to understand and use. All of the questions that I submitted were answered very promptly and communication was always clear and detailed. My classes were primarily with Chase. Chase is a talented instructor in his ability to be both technical and personable. I have taken some surf lessons before and I can say that the instruction provided was so much more than just a "surf lesson". There was good discussion and insight around surfing, reading the waves and water conditions, how the line-up functions, etiquette, safety, etc. I also had the opportunity to surf with Adam one day and he was a great instructor as well. My experience with this company was so A+ that I have already signed up for additional surf lessons and wilderness classes.

Perfect site for beginner lesson. Wetsuits kept us plenty warm and our instructor, Chad, was awesome- making sure everyone caught some waves. His assistant, Deanna was super helpful too. I didn’t want to do my first surgery lesson at 61 but my daughter wanted to and I’m so glad I did. Beautiful day in the pacific.
