As a transplant from the Midwest, I have little to no experience in the ocean. However, now living in Orange County I figured it was time to get more comfortable in the water and try out surfing as it is so popular in Southern California. I had the best experience at Learn to Surf. Jason the owner is extremely knowledgable about water safety and surfing. He put me right at ease! His experience is undeniable. I've taken multiple lessons with him and met some of his other instructors too and they are all great! With their expertise I was able to pop up and paddle into waves, which for me is amazing because I am very uncoordinated and not the best swimmer. Thank you Jason and your team for making me more comfortable in the water and turning me into a soCal surfer girl! ;)
