My husband and I took a private lesson with Wade and he was a great instructor. He was knowledgeable, patient and was very helpful. I would highly recommend and I would definitely do this again.

First time surfing with my wife. Both of us got up on many waves. Wade was super supportive and the whole session felt great.

Awesome Surf School! My instructor was Michelas (apologies for the misspell). He was great! The joy and fun of surfing with him is contagious! Thanks Surf Happens!
