✦ I decided to get my sister surfing lessons for her birthday and figured I would tag along as well. Kai was a phenomenal instructor making sure we not only understood the technical aspect of catching a wave and standing up on the board, but also how to identify your surroundings and be aware of nature around you. It was an amazing time, we can't wait to get back out there. ~ Guy & Galit
✦ Thank you so much again for your lesson. We learned soooo much and now I really feel confident to get out there. You rock, and I'll definitely
pass along your info to friends who need lessons! ~ Ashley
✦ Thank you again for the wonderful experience. We really had the most
amazing time surfing with you and I can't wait to be back! Hope to see you soon again and if you ever come this side of the pond
pls let us know. Ciao! ~ Matilde, Ingrid & Romy
✦ Well, you were right and Jack does officially have the surf bug. He wanted to send you a picture of his new wetsuit and board, as well as a few pictures from your days surfing. We went to our local surf shop (Prooflab) and the guys there were extremely helpful, and cracking up a little about Jacks enthusiasm! We will surely call you the next time we head south and we will keep you posted on the progress! ~ Bridget & Jack
P.S. (From Jack) thanks for the lesson. i had fun. maybe we can surf together again. jack.
✦ Thank you so much for working with Brandon. He really enjoyed it and I think we have a new sport. Take care and we will see you in Aug. ~ Linda
✦ Thanks so much for the great lesson you gave my sister Colleen and my husband Mark on Friday. Colleen & I used to be big snowboarders back in the day, so we both know how important it is to send inexperienced visitors to an expert instructor. ~ Laura
