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.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Outer Surf for the amazing experience we had this morning surfing…read morefor the first time. Our instructor Megan was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better coach for our three kids. We really liked her approach of sharing her knowledge on all aspects including how the waves are formed, understanding impacting dynamics like wind, and the approach she took to ease our kids into it for the first time. So cool and a bit surprising to see the two older ones actually catching some waves by the end of their first lesson. We would highly recommend Outer Surf and Megan as an instructor to anyone wanting to learn to surf and have a fun time doing so. Our kids were ages 15, 14 and 7. Fantastic experience!

We had great weather and conditions which was lucky. It was a ton of fun and I'm looking forward to going again with friends next year on OBX My only feedback is that it would have been good to know the meeting spot near the beach up front, as I was staying near by and could have met them nearby more easily. Still, this is a very minor nitpick in what was otherwise an excellent experience and got my excited to surf again sometime.
