"The team communicated in timely and organized manner to get me scheduled at a time that worked with my constraints. On-site, Ryan and Shane were an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with — their positive, outgoing attitudes and Shane’s (my instructor) patient approach to teaching had me near-dreading the end of the lesson."
– Paige A. | TripAdvisor"Ryan is an extremely competent, yet humble surfer, whose knowledge of the water and the sport shine through in his teaching and guidance. He is a strong and patient leader, and his calm enthusiasm fosters confidence and success in his students."
– April P. | TripAdvisor"Ryan made us feel very comfortable from beginning to end and was an awesome teacher. We were very quickly catching waves and riding our way almost to the shore with his guidance and assistance. Very glad that we decided to do this on your trip to Laguna Beach and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn to surf for the first time!"
– Amar L. | TripAdvisor"Ryan! He was super friendly and explained anything we questioned him on. Ryan gave us a rundown of the lesson in the sand, and then jumped right into the water. With his expertise and adjustments mid-lesson, the two of us were riding into shore with ease. "
