Thanks for the easy wetsuit and board rental with local surf knowledge and human spirit all mixed in. Appreciate the nice talk and excellent surf experience on Half Moon Bay. Highly recommended. Well worth the trip from Germany! -Robert

By far the nicest and most helpful dude I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. Genuinely cared about getting people out in the water and enjoying the surf.
