The most epic day ever! We had some girls in our group who had surf before however I hadn’t. I have always had a HUGE fear of the ocean and I didn’t think I’d ever SURF… my boys surf and love the water so I knew this would make them so happy. I was ready to conquer my fear. Amy was our instructor and she knew how scared I was however she was unbelievably supportive and knowledgeable. Before we even got onto the water, she gave us a lesson on land. She taught me how to sit on the board, how to guide the board and rise up on the board. she taught me about the waves, what to watch for and where to be. Once she brought us out, she guided us individually towards the waves. As I sat there with her, waiting for my first ever wave, she continued to instruct me and teach me the proper way to do things. She pushed me in on my first wave, and I wasn’t able to get up right away, I think it was mostly due to fear. When I went back to her for my second wave, she explain to me what she saw, and how I can improve. I continued to take her instruction and learn from it. The next wave came, she pushed me in, and I stood up. Each time I went back to her I would explain how I felt, and she would guide me. I finally took my last ride, and I road it all the way in STANDING. The gal next to me said welcome to the ocean, we will see you back here again soon. She saw how much fun I had and a huge smile on my face, she just knew I’d be coming back. I have to say it was one of the best days of my life all because, my instructor was incredibly patient, incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cared. I would give her higher than 5 stars if I could. Anytime I have friends/family visit and they want to learn surf, I know exactly where to send them. Thank you all so much!! I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SURF. My boys are so excited!!

We got an opportunity to surf 4-5 waves. It was a great experience if you were able to figure out how to stand. They provided feedback during the beach lesson (on land). If you are nervous about surfing or never done any board sport, I would recommend a solo lesson to feel more comfortable. The location is awesome! Love north shore. Get to work up an appetite for a food truck after.

Amazing! I’ve done a 6 surfing lesson camp before and today, in 2 hours, I was able to do much better than 6 hours of training! I got to no only stand up but ride multiple waves to the end thanks to the amazing teaching skills of Aimee! She kept it simple and practical. I would recommend Aimee to anyone trying to learn how to surf
