Thank you so much for your nice comment. Nate does make folks feel at ease. Staying on these small wave is the perfect practice ground for young ones to adults. There is a longer learning curve before bigger waves so have to be a little one no matter your age. See you next time.

I had a private surf lesson with Mitchell. This was my first time ever even touching a surf board. He was an amazing instructor and he had me up on the board within a few attempts. He is very personable and I enjoyed chatting with him while we waited for the right waves - which he is an expert at spotting. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who has thought about trying surfing.

I had a private lesson and the instructor was more worried about getting back to the beach so we didnt miss the shuttle (It would have been an 8 minute walk to the shop) than catching waves. The waves were not great and he was knowledgeable.

My husband and I had an awesome time learning how to surf with our instructor, Yom. He was ever-so-patient especially with me--I'm uncoordinated and have zero balance, but miracle of all miracles, he got me up on at least a handful of waves!
