The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the instructors (naming Ethan, Ryan, Jason, Jeff, Sean, Frank, Rivers, Bella, Aiden, Kaitlyn, and Matt) for being knowledgeable, patient, professional, friendly, and excellent at teaching all ages, especially children, often resulting in students standing up on the first try. The staff is frequently described as kind, caring, and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the effectiveness of the lessons and camps, the flexibility in scheduling, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of the shop's location near the beach. The photo package is also recommended.

Things to Consider

One customer experienced issues with beach chair rentals, receiving dirty/rusty chairs and confusion over delivery logistics for chairs and an umbrella, resulting in separate delivery fees. Another review mentioned a discrepancy in the expected small class size for a lesson (expecting 2-3 students but ending up with five) and noted poor communication after the experience when trying to follow up. One instance of a delayed appointment due to weather was managed well, but the initial delay was noted.
