Summary:
my wife and I had been talking about surfing lessons for some time and took a chance with SD Surf school. The overall experience was great Lilly and Ben were our instructors, Lilly did a great job of getting us started teaching us the basics. Then turned us over to Ben and he was better than fantastic with us, especially making sure my wife was safe and having the best experience. He remained engaged and encouraging to both of us..The only negative to the whole experience was that after getting tossed by the waves and drinking salt water that they would have had drinking water available. Beyond that great experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn to surf.
