Took my kids surfing for the first time in Huntington Beach. I wanted them to get the most out of their lessons so I decided to get them private lessons. There are lots of surf schools and instructors but the hotel recommended Jason at Learn to Surf. He provided an instructor for every two kids.
As the lesson went on I watched other surf classes and instructors with their large groups and saw little progress. In an hour, every person in the family had caught a wave. By the end of the second hour, we all were surfing and catching waves on our own.
The personal attention we received by a highly skilled group of instructors made this experience phenomenal. I would recommend no other business than learn to surf for a family.
