Pat was absolutely wonderful. My brother, my girlfriend, and I decided to try surfing for the first time ever. We had so much fun. With no experience, he was able to get all three of us standing on the boards. He was a great teacher.

Pat was an amazing, patient and fun surfing teacher for my 14 year old daughter. He was wonderful to work with, good value, and motivated Victoria to do her best with a smile on her face all five days.

This was the best experience of our 2-week CA trip! We are a family of 6 and Pat was well-prepared for us. He had all of the appropriate equipment - even supplying towels since we had already checked out of our hotel. Every member of our family gained comfort on a surf board and even rented boards the next day... More

We were all standing up on our boards on the first or second wave, and while we quickly tired, he didn't, and by the end of the 2-hr lesson he had each of us doing far better... More
