Our three children have been learning to surf with Gaven and his team for years. They are truly the best! Everything from the communication, logistics, and the lesson itself is exactly what you would want it to be. Their location is TOP, positioned right at one of the best beaches on the island. Check in is right off the road so you can either park in the spacious parking lot across the street or depending on the age of the surfers, you can just drop your crew off. You literally can't miss their truck, check in, the wetsuits, the boards, everything is right there and then once you are all suited up you simply just walk down to the beach and the lesson is straight ahead. There is essentially zero schlepping. Great energy and people watching to the left at Nobadeer and then if you walk about 15 minutes to the right you arrive at Surfside Beach where there are bathrooms and food. They have all different types of boards for all levels of surfing and the guys and girls who work there are great at what they do. My kids usually have a hard time saying what part of their lessons they liked better....riding the waves or chatting with the instructors while out waiting for the waves! My kids have actually had the same instructors for a few years and every summer look forward to catching up with them. The familiarity has been wonderful for kids like ours who have a tendency to be somewhat nervous of the water/waves. Gaven and his team know when to push and when not too....they have been successful in getting all three of our nervous surfers comfortable out there! We cannot recommend Gaven and his team enough, they are an awesome group and provide our family with great memories every summer. read more
