Amazing! One of my favorite activities this week, this summer... this life! Our family of 4…read more(kids = 11 & 13) showed up at 8a for our 8:15 lesson. Chris and Evan were our instructors. I cannot imagine it going any better. My first run, I did on my knees. Next, I was standing up. I ended up coming in and watching my family. My kids were standing up and looking so comfortable on the board. This was an amazing adventure - the small class size of 2 people to 1 instructor is dead on perfect! Check this out and have fun!

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.

She spent the whole time in the water keeping watch, but also gave my daughter the chance to catch waves on her own as soon as she was able. She loved it and we are looking forward to going back next summer, maybe even for a camp! Owners made sure our request for a female instructor was honored and were very responsive regarding any questions we had. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

Our son his fried and my husband had an incredible time with them Friday May 21st 2021. We enjoyed it way more than anything and we are all about the experiences - as our child was not meant to see birth nor a first birthday so we try hard to make sure his life is filled with these opportunities and fun! The rate they charge is super affordable (in fact I think they are under charging- so tip well). We will be back and use them again and again. In fact we have already booked them again for the last day of our trip!

Since it is off-season but a beautiful day we decided to try and go kayaking. After checking several locations we found Blue Planet Watersports. They were absolutely amazing! They are all about customer service. The owner actually loaded the kayak into our truck himself and helped tie it down with bungee cord. Since it is the off season, he gave us a great deal AND gave us several locations for us to check out. Not being from the area, having private access and options is an absolute plus. My husband and I loved the personal service and would recommend to anyone looking to check out water sport rentals. 10++

So I asked one of the moms videotaping her kids, "Who is the company giving these lessons?' I jumped on their website, texted the number there and got our 11 year old signed up for a private lesson for the very next day. Sydney was a lovely and patient instructor. The owner was there, too, very polite and organized and I paid with Venmo right there on the beach. And my son who had never surfed before got up about 40 times in his 90 minute lesson. Beaming and joyful. I 100% recommend Carolina Surf. And I am so glad we found them!
