Day two of surf camp and besides just teaching the fundamentals to beginning kiddos, they also instill sportsmanship and water safety, explaining and teaching to kids water safety and how to check your conditions before heading out to the water. I could not be more impressed with them. Also, they don't just throw their kids into rough conditions, they really know the ocean and you can tell they only hire the most experienced surfers. I've been watching some of the other surf camps down here and I would be kind of nervous to let my 5 year old attend. You can see the staff at Skudin not only love what they do but they truly care about their campers . Really just so happy our daughter goes to camp here, and will be happily recommending them to any parent looking for a surf camp here in Rockaway.

Use caution. Shady business practices…read more I purchased 2 surf lessons for the Winter Warriors program and the day after caught a really bad cold. I emailed (a day in advance) to let them know I can't make the lesson and did not hear back. I then tried calling several times, left two more emails, but they've seemed to disappear from the face of the earth. I've taken classes with them before and was very excited to try the winter programs, but I'm now considering filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or escalating to my credit card company, since Skudin is holding my $150 and completely unresponsive. Terrible customer service, complete disregard for honest business practices and protecting the client.

Paddleboarding is recommended if you have a dog. I wish you could kayak/paddleboard more, but you are allowed to explore the area around the Intrepid.

Five stars - it's a fun time!

Our trip wasn't a high level athletic event, but Manhattan Kayak does offer training and equipment to get you there if you desire. PS, my wife forgot her wallet in a changing room, the staff called and texted immediately but we were already home when we checked our messages. Stacy came in early the next day so we could collect the valuables. Operation, equipment, and staff all highly recommended at Manhattan Kayak.

Staff members were super friendly with a love of the game, and were so helpful in giving me the right metrics by which to evaluate fit for my gear. Left with what I needed and will be back soon for a set of fins no doubt. Prices match those online so definitely strong value in coming in-person to try on difficult to fit gear like masks and fins. They also do courses and dive charters here, which I'd love to take advantage of soon.

I had a great experience with Scuba Network! When I got a last minute invitation to join an old…read morefriend on a scuba diving trip, I didn't want to pass up the opportunity. Unfortunately, I hadn't been diving in 30 years! I called the folks at Scuba Network and everyone I engaged with was extremely accommodating. They helped me sign up for an eLearning refresher course and encouraged me to grab the last spot in an upcoming beginner's, in-person, 2-day pool dive to reacquaint myself with the gear and familiarize myself with some new technology since I last dove (goodbye dive tables, hello dive computers!). They equipped me with all the regular gear and even helped me pick out a scuba mask with reading bifocals when I told them after the first day that I couldn't read my gauges. (Yes, bifocal masks are a thing!) Ryan Hoffman, my dive instructor, was fantastic. He was patient, easy-to-understand, thorough, and kept things moving well. He also didn't miss a thing. If someone seemed nervous during an underwater exercise, he was right there to put them at ease and help them master it. If someone didn't clear their mask of water fully, he had them try again until they crushed it. At every step he was enabling us to know how to do for ourselves because in Scuba, though it's a buddy sport, you don't want to leave the details to anyone else -- you're safest when you are self-sufficient. Within days, I felt as confident about scuba diving as I did 30 years ago when I got certified -- no, actually, I felt more confident! I can't wait to get back in the open water now, and I'm even considering getting my kids to take up this past time so we can go as a family. If so, I'll take them to Scuba Network to learn!

Things what he explains, easy to understand and keep up in a way what he knows will do work for me, and I am pretty sure will work for you with the best results ! As I said he is an excellent teacher with I'm sure enough experience. I am just lucky to meet him. I am already in love with Kitesurfing, and I'm very thankful to him for that! His obsession to the sky, ocean and the wind simply passes to you, and you just wanna be a force nature rider)) My son and me already bought the whole equipment. Well! Not a cheap hobby!))

I have been a client of PanAqua for over twenty years--they trained me, they've helped me with…read morediving questions and issues, and they have supplied me with all of my equipment. Diving can be a dangerous sport if the equipment you rent at a resort hasn't been properly serviced, I have always preferred to own my equipment personally as a long-term investment. Nearly every dollar I spent over 20 years ago, all of the equipment is in top shape and will last decades more. I have traveled on their trips from South Africa to Polynesia and beyond. Some reviewers say to consider Amazon or scuba websites, but when you're down 100 feet underwater, nobody cares how much you saved by going online. If your equipment fails, it's kablooey and you're dead. The instructors and owners are fantastic, and nobody can consult you better on equipment than Lorraine. She analyzes every option before suggesting a good match for you. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

From Harrison and Lorraine who walked me through getting a new, prescription mask (and snorkel) to Jae who worked with me in the pool and out over 3 days on my re-activation, everyone was stellar.

I'm sure I'll be back for more...Thanks, Pan Aqua.

The pool is located at the skyline hotel. The area is clean and safe for kids. It's not overcrowded. I highly recommend SJ.
