He started her out with all of the knowledge she needed before they ever got in the water, which calmed her nerves. Once they got in, she did fantastic & made it up on the first run. For a very rough and windy day, she had a great experience with no regrets. She even received applause from other beach bums. Spencer put a LOT of effort into pulling her & making her experience so great. Would definitely take more lessons if we had the time.

Very easy to engage with, receptive and patient. I observed first hand him working with the several various aged children. Making sure they had proper sizing of boards, educating on the surf and methods of maneuvering the board. They took time to answer all sorts of questions from the children. Including from us parents. After the children hit the water with them, I was speaking with the parents waiting and they shared how much their children loved the lessons and the instructors. When the kids came back, they were exhausted in a good way! Happy and of course starving lol I find this to be effective approach for learning the sport for those esp that may get overwhelmed or overstimulated by larger number of people in the group. But also if your child tried a camp and found they loved surfing this is great option to also feed their desire to keep learning and refining their surf skills.
