Memories in the Ocean - Dan and Andi did a wonderful job teaching the group. We went with our family and each one of us enjoyed the experience and walked away wanting to continue surfing. I would recommend this experience for those even slightly interested in making memories in the ocean.

Life's Best Surf!! - I came to Golco to learn surfing for the first time in my life. I learned the 1:1 lesson at Go ride a wave. The weather was good, but the instructor was so kind to teach me so well that I had a good memory of the experience until the first surf standing. The instructor was so good that he was full of passion.
