The lesson overall went fine, but the instruction was only 25 seconds long (my husband got it on…read morevideo). The instructor showed us how to get up twice and that was it. Luckily there was a man in the water not affiliated with Uncle Bryan's that was giving us tips while we were in the water, which the instructor wasn't happy about. The photographer, Heath, never showed up. I texted him multiple times to confirm he'd be there and all I got was a thumbs up emoji so I thought he'd be there, but he never came. The instructors brushed me off and said "oh maybe he'll show." From shore it was impossible for my husband to get photos/know which surfer was me, so I was really disappointed to not have any photos.

We had SUCH an amazing time with 808 Surf School!!…read more Andy was the best-- professional, knowledgeable, really attentive, and made us feel safe and comfortable in the water the whole time. He explained everything in a way that made it easy and not intimidating at all. This was my boys' VERY FIRST time surfing ever, and they both got up and rode waves ‍ It was the coolest thing to watch--they were so fearless and had the best time. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're even thinking about surf lessons, this is 100% the place. Andy is awesome

We went out with Tristan for a private surf lesson for 3. He met all of us where our skill level…read moreand comfort was at! My son (4.5) had surfed before but Tristan got him on the board alone for a couple of waves, and was understanding when his stamina ran out an hour in. My daughter (2.5) was great on land, but hated the waves once in the water, but she was never pressured. I'm an experienced surfer but only get out about once a year so Tristan was able to help me get that muscle memory back, and was patient when I took breaks to check on my kids (and husband! They weren't alone). Even my husband who vowed never to surf again said he'll try it next time with these guys! Would definitely recommend for anyone learning to surf on the north shore!

We booked the lessons the day before, and ended up with Dewey as our instructor. My 7 year old son…read morewas a little anxious being solo for the first time. Dewey was patient, very encouraging, and honest about the possibility of falling. My son did great, and only fell once (on his second run) but popped back up and kept at it. The weather wasn't the best, and my son got cold so we called the lesson a bit early. However, the kid calls himself a "surfer" now so I'm thinking he enjoyed it!

I decided to book with Shaydo because he's a professional surfer, CPR trained and trusted waterman....I definitely made the right choice!!! From the moment I met him, I felt comfortable and relaxed. He was very patient and thorough before we even got in the water. Once we were in the water, Shaydo got me up on my board and I WAS SURFING!!! Needless to say, the time in the water flew by and I had so much fun. I would definitely book a class with Shaydo again. It was such an authentic experience, plus how many people can say they learned to surf with a professional surfer!
