Great teacher - Preston was thorough, patient and encouraging in teaching my two daughters (ages 13 & 11) how to surf. His expertise enabled them to have great success and fun on their first day ever trying to surf. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Great Experience with Preston - We had one lesson with Preston, and my kids had a blast, so we booked another session with him right away. Preston is very kind, responds to my messages quickly, and is very flexible with scheduling when possible. Strongly recommend him.

My instructor Prestion was very skilled at surfing and provided me everything I needed to take it from here on my own. - My instructor, Prestion, demonstrated a high level of skill and explain everything well. After my lesson I felt very confident in my ability to go out on my own and identify when and where to catch the best waves. I’d highly recommend him if given the option.
