The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the instructors (Scott, Ty, Benny, Axel, etc.) for being incredibly friendly, patient, encouraging, and expert teachers, often getting complete beginners standing up on their first try.

Things to Consider

One customer reported a negative rental experience where they were given inadequate rash guards and no protective shoes during low tide, resulting in painful cuts and rashes, suggesting a disparity in service quality between lessons and rentals for beginners. Another review mentioned an instructor giving orders in a 'military-like fashion' which felt transactional and lacked personalized teaching. A separate customer noted an unexpected $40 per person upcharge for an 8 AM slot booked via Viator, leading to cancellation. One review mentioned the shop space smelled like cat litter, and another noted difficulty hearing a soft-spoken instructor.
