A surf academy worth more than 5 stars! My Experience: After reviewing a few other websites for surf lessons on the East Coast, I chose Northeast Surfing in mid-August for two reasons: the price can not be beat & the site seemed to be education focused: teaching about the wind, the Boston Buoy and much more than just getting in the water. When I began the week, it was just as I'd hoped - a mix of story telling, surf safety, Q&A, and a FULL hour (if not a little more) of surfing with instructor(s) in the water to help guide our surf boards, explain how to pop up, and how to safely fall off our boards. Why I'll Be Back: I'd had a very small hiccup in my reservation (due to COVID/Back-end errors and not on Ronnie's part) but Ronnie went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that my week at Hull wasn't one I'd soon forget. Now THAT is a surf instructor worth paying for!! I plan to be up every Friday now and I hope to get a spot in next years academy or even private lessons :) Great Job Northeast Surfing!! read more

I have two daughters that attended several weeks of the surf and paddleboard camps last year. They loved it. The 'storefront' is really a beachside home, and the meeting spot is the backyard, Comes across initially as slightly unprofessional, but you realize quickly its just a very laid back 'surfer' atmosphere. The instructors are top notch and safety is not forgotten as it is in some of the other local camps. The owners are talented surfers and the camp is NSSIA certified. The girls loved it so much that we spent a few weekends at the camp on our own time and despite that they were 'closed' for the day, they allowed us to borrow the boards and practice. My daughters had so much fun we ended up buying boards at the end of the summer. If you are looking for a great surf camp, look no more and try this place out. Ronnie and the rest of the team are class acts. read more

My 12 year old daughter has become a surfer through Northeast!! She started 2 years with a one time lesson and she was hooked! Last summer she did the one week camp and improved significantly. The camp councilors were attentive and really watched the kids. What I love most is that they focus on safety, reading the waves as well as skills. She was surfing on her own by the end of the summer and early fall. I felt safe letting her go in on her own while I was on the beach (there were other surfers in the water). She has done 2 weeks of camp this summer and had fun even the week when the surf wasn't great. I highly recommend Northeast surfing for any kid!! read more

The owner is incredibly helpful and friendly. We were visiting from out of town and had one day to rent bikes. Although the store was not yet officially opened, the owner promptly returned my phone message and rented us two nice bikes for the day. He was attentive to safety and helpful with mapping our course. We rode 25 miles round trip to and from Scituate with no problems. (He said if we broke down after 2 pm he would pick us up in his truck and bring us back. Before 2, he would repair a flat on location). The personal attention is refreshing and he's very knowledgeable about the region, the bikes, the roads and everything you could need! read more

Highly recommend... Great experience! Had the best time during our 1 hr lesson with my nephew! Our instructor Patrick was great, he answered all my questions about surfing and was super encouraging and helpful with my nephew. Northeast surfing was super convenient and efficient. The lesson was just the two of us with our instructor, totally worth the price. We both got up several times and attempted many waves. They really pack a lot in to the one hour. I gained a lot of new surf knowledge, skill, and confidence. Will definitely be renting and taking more lessons in the future! read more

Highly professional, skilled, experienced, and fun group of certified surfing instructors. Great location - Hull is a fun town with endless beaches and endless surfable waves and no crowds at the surf site. Price is extremely reasonable, and includes everything: board, wetsuit, and 2 hours of instruction for 5 days. The school offers a host of other useful, educational tools, including beach cams, weather info, and on-line educational materials / videos. When I'm ready for further instruction, this will be the obvious choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I did an adult surf camp this summer and it was a great experience. Lots of time in the water to practice and it was a small group setting (6 people in total) so you all get lots of practice and some one on one tips on how to improve based on your skill set. The man who runs the program also gives a 15-20 min session about different surfing topics and general Q&As that you can ask a very experienced surfer. Anything from surfing etiquette to how to pick the right board or wetsuit. Nothing else like this on the south shore! read more

Been want to try surfing for many years and had a great experience with Northeast Surfing. Highly recommend. Ryan was our instructor and also met the owner, Ronnie. Good people, a ton of fun and the time spent learning on the beach before getting into the water translated well as far as actually getting up on the board faster and more often than I expected would (or rather might, lol) happen. Very much look forward to going back again soon with my wife and kids so they can experience surfing too! read more

My daughter's been doing Northeast Surf Camp since we moved to Hull 5 years ago, and LOVES it. We've tried all the other camps in town, including the one everyone else RAVES about, but this is BY FAR the best, especially if you actually want to learn to surf, learn about surfing, and improve your skills. The other camps are mostly play and babysitting with surfboards. North East is the way to go for anyone seriously interested in surfing. We'll keep coming back, and tell all our friends! read more

Our family had a 1 hour surf lesson at Nantasket and it was awesome! Our instructor Lucy was amazing and got us all standing by the end of our time. Would highly recommend. Great attitudes, super friendly, the whole experience was positive. We have done lessons before (elsewhere) and the instructor makes all the difference. We had no issue with finding paid parking right next to their set up, but we did get there by 845am. Looking forward to getting back again soon! read more

Northeast Surfing has taught me to surf, connected me to other adults I can surf with, and advised me in my search for equipment... who could ask for more from their local surf shop? I did the adult surf camp and took one private lesson through Northeast Surfing and it has given me the confidence to surf on my own! I am so grateful to this shop for introducing me to the surfing world!! read more

Had my first ever surfing lesson with Ron of Northeast Surfing last Saturday. The lesson was great and worth every penny. The company is based online, so you need to read the website and follow their instructions on meeting up with them. I'm going back for more lessons asap. Highly recommended for anyone who ever thought they might want to try surfing. read more

Northeast Surfing! You made summer magic for this new surfer! From your kind and patient surf instructors to the educational topics of appreciating & protecting our oceans and environment, we were beyond impressed with the program. It was all FUN all the time no matter the weather and ended with Surfer of the Week! Two weeks wasn't enough! We will be back! read more

Awesome customer service. We rented three bikes for the day and toured the area. Bikes were like brand new and ran great. Stopped for lunch along the way and used the bike locks that were provided. Just really nice people working there and gave us great service and advice on best routes to see it all. I'd do it again for sure with these guys. read more

The surf lesson with Northeast Surf was a highlight of my kids' summer! They can't wait to go again! Their instructor was so knowledgeable, patient, & entertaining. They loved working with him and haven't stopped talking about it! They learned quickly and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for teaching & inspiring my little surfers! read more

I called in to Northeast to ask about their inventory and ended up getting some great advice from Ronnie. I could tell how passionate he is about surfing and helping others with advice/guidance from his own experience. I never usually leave reviews for businesses, but Northeast Surfing definitely deserves 5 stars. read more

Lots of individual attention on the beach and in the water. A very unique program with a focus on education, advice, and honest feedback (which I believe is the best way to learn). After a week of lessons I feel prepared and confident to go out on my own and put in the time to become a good surfer! read more

Ronnie and the rest of the crew here are great. Each teacher I've met here is professional. They have an infectious passion for surfing and will get you popping up at first and push you as you progress. They will also give great advice on how to pick a wetsuit and board, if you want to know. read more

My 8-year old had an awesome week of surf camp. By the end of the week he was shredding the gnar and getting barreled and so pitted on tubular waves. In all seriousness, great program and my kid and his buddies loved it! He is already asking to sign up for multiple weeks next summer. read more
