    Yesterday I went in to Killer Dana's to rent a surfboard. Everyone was very helpful and friendly,…read moreespecially Bill who went out of his way to make the experience easier for us.

I got two scoops, Rocky Road and pecan, both were delicious. They got really cool wooden Picnic tables too. On hot days especially, this place will be extremely popular. The owner is extremely cool. He mentioned that he's bringing back the Doheny Paddle Fest this summer too. He has a passion for thrifty ice cream, paddle boards, the community, Dana point, he's been in business for decades, I remember coming here as a teen. Additionally, The employees were all chill. At the moment, this is the only place that I know of that serves thrifty ice cream here in Orange County. So I was willing to pay a lot. - but didn't have to because all the prices were great. Not worthy, they did everything correctly, such as using the special thrifty brand scooper, wearing gloves, they had all the right cones. Multiple flavors too. It was all perfectly done. We Plan on coming back here Real soon with more family members and friends! (additionally I met some really nice people that were enjoying the thrifty ice cream because it's so retro, and the place is so inviting that it's a great place to make new friends.)

    This was our son first time taking a surfing lesson, and as an adult with special needs, he was…read moreanxious and nervous going into the session. We weren't sure how it would go, but coach Elliot made all the difference. He was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding of our son's needs. The first couple of attempts were tough- our son was nervous about riding the waves and facing the unknown. But coach Elliot never rushed him and offered steady encouragement the whole time. By the third try, everything changed- we saw a big smile on our son's face, thank you Coach Elliot for creating such a positive and supportive experience!

    I registered my daughter for a full-day surf camp three weeks in advance and paid $675. The camp…read morewas supposed to start on Monday, but on Sunday afternoon--just ONE DAY before it started--I was contacted and told they didn't have enough participants for the afternoon session and had to cancel it. Since the afternoon session was important for our schedule, I asked to cancel the entire camp, and they agreed. It has now been 10 days since the cancellation, and I still have not received my $675 refund. I've sent multiple messages asking for an update and have received no clear response or information about my refund. This has been a very poorly managed and disappointing experience. At this point, I'm actually glad my daughter didn't attend. I would not recommend this surf school based on how this situation has been handled. I am still waiting for my $675 refund and confirmation that it has been processed.
