What our riders say

Real experiences from real adventurers

This was my 3rd spot for lessons and I'm glad I found it! Daivis evaluated my progress and brought me right into the waste deep water right off the beach. I practiced water starts for about 2 hours while he had a water-skiing rope attached to me harness. That way I had 100' of travel each way, which was perfect and allowed me to accumulate many-many waterstarts and grew my confidence big time! Next day I was further out practicing while Daivis coached me from a paddleboard. He even got me going up wind! I had the 10 hour package and used it over a 5 day stretch (buying a little more time too). The last day I was able to do 15 standing transitions, they weren't all pretty but I'm happy that I made so much progress. I 100% recommend 420 surf & incase you're wondering, like I was, the 420 is simply Daivis' mothers birthday, he wasn't aware of what it means in the US. Anyway, he's always super positive and helpful. Go check them out!
