    In the sim with Chief Pilot and Owner Bill Peterson
    Matt S.

    Above All Aviation is a fantastic flight school. I was referred to them by former students that both went on to fly corporate jets - all starting from this great school at KSBA. Earned both my private pilot and instrument rating here. Having done lessons at schools in both Orange County and South Florida the biggest difference with Above All is the family environment that owners Shawn, Joel and Bill have created. Have made very good friends here and we often go flying together and do overnight fly-in camping trips all over the state. If you have an interest in flying take a discovery flight at Above All. Their entire staff and instructors are great and you can't go wrong with any of them.

    Departing SBA early morning.

She had a lot of options for us with regard to the shapes we wanted to build. The price point is decent - although a bit on the pricier side, but so is everything in SB/Goleta! :) Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try hand-building/pottery. I'm definitely going back there.

They have pottery wheels, benches, glazes and kilns plus classes and workshops so you can learn how to do pottery. It is harder than it looks but worth the effort. I can finally center my clay! Yay, I got it, my second time through a Wheel I class. You need to try things a few times to get them, at least I do. I big thanks to Jared for his teaching. Now on to opening the clay . . . learning could take a while. Still, if you have any interest in pottery, you are lucky to live in Santa Barbara. As for the workshops, we tried the Raku Workshop and it was awesome. I don't think you can go too far wrong with that as you don't have to make the bisqueware. Listen to me using pottery lingo. Anyway, you can buy a pot to glaze and the Raku drama is available. So fun!

Thomas was our instructor and he helped us with everything from parking to properly putting on your wetsuit to surfing basic info to technique practice (on land) to helping us catch our first waves!

But then it got weird. Feeling out of place with the group, I must have said something awkward that was misunderstood by Tom. When I asked about switching days to make up my monthly classes and to credit that I had already paid for, he disqualified me and said he no longer wanted to work with me. I was genuinely hurt. I really wanted to learn and he made me feel like I was this terrible person for saying something that was misunderstood. I still remember how bad my experience was, that I'm afraid to go out and try again . Maybe I would have "clicked better with a women instructor, but Tom was mean and hurtful.
