This 53 year old grandma got up and relaxed into being up on the board and riding the waves in! We had another very athletic 27 year old Jiu Jitsu young woman who also learned from scratch. We had James-O and Tory and Julien and they were all great! James-O especially really took us under his wing. Very encouraging with perfect instruction. They taught us how to choose waves. It was SUPER helpful for the beginners that they would give our boards a push to get us up to the right speed at the right time. I cannot recommend them enough!

I am a surf fan forever now. :) One of our group got out early because of a phobia. They checked on her and encouraged her to give it another try without every putting on any pressure. They really seemed to want us to have a great time. If you are on the fence wondering if you should try it, I say give it a go. You will feel so supported, safe, and encouraged that you will be surfing before you know it.

Ive sent my kids this surf school/camp twice now, and would certainly do it again. This is a…read morefabulous experience for your kids if you can spend a few days in vb. Most parents drop their kids off and take care of business, but I always stick around. Two main reasons Im recommending this camp: 1. They take smaller groups of kids. Youll see another camp two streets over that has twice as many kids... as with any school, you want smaller class size. 2. Jason and his team know that this is all about fun and confidence generation, not grooming pro surfers. I've watched them get kids of all abilities to smile, by pumping kids up when they catch a wave, to giving special attention to those who are spooked or tentative. Two days there were zero waves at all... didnt matter, they paddled around and had competitions and team building exercises. My kids were just as happy as when they were catching waves. Ill sign them up for this camp next year too. -Brendan-

I was nervous about the 1:4 ratio, but since they were on the younger end, it was mostly a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio for them. I had visions of them being pulled under a wave and being traumatized by the ocean forever, and it's true they did get hit by the board a few times, but the instructors were so positive that the kids didn't mind much, kind of like how falling is a fact of life when you're learning to walk (but we don't tell kids not to learn to walk). I learned a thing or two too - instead of reaching to a bad wipeout with "Are you ok??", I can try saying "Sick wipeout dude!" :) The one thing I would note is to pay attention to the tides - I think the camps are better at low tide.
