The surf lesson was great! After that lesson I asked my daughter if she would like to try a surf camp sometime. "No" she said, "I just want lessons again with Dave!" Thanks again, we had a great time.

08/10/2011 -- Lori, Chester, NY

Today’s lesson was great today. Thanks so much. Juan was so helpful. I was able to stand on the board and my aunt was very close. Next time we come back to Florida we will give you a call!

08/05/2011 -- Paige, Glen Cove, NY

I got a lot out of my surf lesson! Zach was very easy to work with. He didn't push me to get up on every wave, instead, he educated me on what to look for and which ones to work for...which I liked. I'm glad I had the opportunity and feel like I can take the lesson and be able to practice on my own. The experience is definitely something for someone who WANTS to learn how to surf.

07/28/2011 -- Melissa, Orlando, FL

It was a beautiful day and Gabi thoroughly enjoyed the class. Dave was very nice, informative and helpful.

07/24/2011 -- Dailis, Lake Worth, FL

The surf lesson was awesome...Dave is great. Thank you!

07/24/2011 -- Jason, Charlotte, NC

We all had such an amazing time. Every one of us wants to buy a surfboard now...;) Dave and John were great! They were incredibly patient and helpful. I would recommend them both!! Two other families asked me about the lessons and I gave them your phone number. Hopefully they will call.

07/23/2011 -- Pat, Tampa, FL

We all had a good time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for your service. Definitely a job well done. Tell Zach thank you again from us.

07/21/2011 -- Jeffry, Edwardsville, IL

The kids had a great time! Thank you Once my other son becomes a little stronger in the water I want to call and talk to you about surf lessons for him.

06/28/2011 -- Melissa, Boca Raton, FL

We had a great time. Your surf instructor John was fantastic and very good with the kids.

06/27/2011 -- Jim, Leawood, KS

Juan is the best surf instructor - really he as amazing with the kids I cannot say enough well about him! I promised to send him some pictures which I will do as soon as I get them developed - we will for sure be back - thanks again!

06/26/2011 -- Lisa, Haddonfield, NJ

I had the best day EVER!!! I just had to let you know what an incredible experience. I can’t wait to get back out there. I was hoping to sign up for another lesson whenever John is available. He was awesome! I went from being so nervous to being so excited about surfing and John is the reason. He is a great teacher, who clearly has a passion for what he does. He is enthusiastic but takes what we are doing very serious, and I just wanted you to know how impressed I was with the entire experience and with John's teaching abilities. He was able to break it down and make it simple enough for even me. He knew not only about surfing but about waves and the mechanics behind them, which pulled the whole idea together for me. His positive motivations kept me going despite how tired I was. I just had to let you know what a great instructor you have there. Thanks so much again, and please contact me about setting up another lesson or two.

06/24/2011 -- Crystal, Dania, FL

We really enjoyed! We will see you guys soon again. Ciao!

06/17/2011 -- Sandro, Orlando, FL

04/01/2011 -- Tony, Boynton Beach, FL

01/20/2011 -- Perry, Akron, OH

I had an amazing time!!! What an experience!! John was a great instructor, and I really enjoyed the time we were able to spend together. I felt a sense of accomplishment in just a short amount of time, so it was a very successful lesson! Thanks again!

On behalf of the West Palm Beach VA Medical and Voluntary/Recreation Therapy Service, I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to you for providing surfing instruction to an OEF/OIF veteran in the Blind Rehab program. Your organization provided an exciting experience for a veteran. This social interaction certainly contributed to increasing the quality of life for him and putting a smile on his face. Again, we with to thank you for your compassionate interest in the hospitalized veteran’s welfare and we are most grateful for this program.

12/15/2010 -- Mary, West Palm Beach, FL

The surfing was great and Dave was a great, patient, and skilled instructor! Thanks & don't hesitate to us for a reference!

11/26/2010 -- David, Lexington, KY

Thanks for setting me up with Zach as my surf instructor on Saturday. He was very patient and encouraged questions from me throughout the process. He was also very positive and had a lot of good advice for me during our session. He took me to a very inspiring surf location. There were probably ten other surfers out there on that Saturday afternoon, though Zach had me pulled down the beach a ways to make it safer for all of us. Moreover, I learned what I need to work on to continue to improve, so I hope to see your team again sometime down the road. Aloha!

11/23/2010 -- John, Lima, OH

A big thanks to Zach even though the sea was a bit rough we had a hell of a great day, decided it was the best thing about our vacation. We now consider ourselves surf dudes and even purchased a surf board to do a bit here in the UK, once again big thanks from all the gang!

11/12/2010 -- Craig, United Kingdon,

My husband and son had a fantastic time and Dave was wonderful! I even had a great time, watching from the beach. If we are fortunate enough to travel to your area again, we will certainly give you and Dave a call for more lessons!

11/09/2010 -- Della, Albuquerque, NM

We had a great time; Zach was good & we will be back.

11/08/2010 -- Bruce, Jackson, MS

I really enjoyed the lesson. I'm going to go back as soon. I will recommend your course to others. John was great and very dedicated! Thank you!

11/06/2010 -- Sergio, Pembroke Pines, FL

Thanks again for the lessons for Caroline. She had a great time learning to surf, and although conditions weren’t great we had a ball. Cocoa was definitely the place to be all three days…you have a great spot.

10/26/2010 -- Reb, Minneapolis, MN

Thanks. I had a great time and Wes was very patient. I hope to be back soon.

10/15/2010 -- Sondra, Tampa, FL

08/01/2010 -- Cheryl, Dallas, TX

It was an amazing week for me. I had the best time. Zach was a great instructor with a fabulous personality. Thank you very much for the great memory.

07/28/2010 -- Trish, Raleigh, NC

We really enjoyed the surf lesson as well! Zack was a really nice guy and was really good with my little five yr. old daughter! It was really cool to see her up on the surfboard! What a treat for us Kansans to get a little surf time in on vacation! It was harder than I thought it would be, but hope to come back and get another lesson again someday!

07/25/2010 -- Jennifer, Topeka, KS

The girls had a blast and enjoyed the lesson a lot. If only we had a beach in Toronto we would continue surfing. Pass our thanks for the Spanish, John.

07/23/2010 -- Yulia, Toronto, CA

We had a good time surfing with John. I'll send some pics this week.

07/21/2010 -- John, Austin, TX

We had a fantastic day yesterday - David, your instructor had us standing up and surfing within the first 30 minutes of our instruction. Very polite, friendly and a very good instructor who has become a personal friend of our family.

07/18/2010 -- Josh & Kelly, Orlando, FL

I had a very a great time with Dave paddle surfing. I enjoyed trying it & may try it again or maybe be brave & try regular surfing lessons down the road. Dave was a great instructor & a great person to spend the morning with on the water.

06/02/2010 -- Tom, West, MD

Just wanted to let you know that my daughter Hope and I had a great time at our surf lesson with Wes on Cocoa Beach Monday May 31st. Wes kept it simple and easy to understand. I thought it would be a lot more complicated. I'm really pleased that my teenage daughter learned the safe and proper way to surf as well as I. Thank you for teaching adults like me as well. It was a longtime goal come true for me. Wes worked hard and was very helpful and patient with us. My daughter and I both really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for making it so simple to hook up with the lessons and the hotel discount at the Best Western blew any other discounts away. We're already planning on coming back for more and maybe bring my brothers and their families too for lessons. Thanks!!

06/01/2010 -- Jolene, Tarpon Springs, FL

Derrick was great today! Thanks - we had a blast.

05/11/2010 -- Nathalie, France,

Thanks so much for working with me to create a lesson to suit the needs of our group. You’d be surprised how many companies won’t work with these guys. You all have definitely earned my respect. Not only did Dave and John give an awesome beach lesson, they got four of our group members to surf. Wow! I am very impressed. I wish you guys could have heard how excited they were to tell their friends about how much fun they had and how cool they are now that they’re “surfers”! Seriously, I really appreciate what Dave and John did to help our group. They are super-hero’s to these guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

05/05/2010 -- Suzie, Palm Beach, FL

03/28/2010 -- Carie, Miami, FL

I had a really great time! Erika got me up a few times and I even had a solo run. I'm hopelessly hooked and can't wait go out again. Thanks for arranging this.

03/27/2010 -- Kevin, Melbourne, FL

I just came back from FL and want you know that my boys had great time surfing at Boca Raton. The instructor, John went extra mile to find the place where there were enough wave when he found that there weren't any at Ft. Lauderdale. My friends who live there also have their boy and they are interested in signing up him for the lesson soon. I gave them your school and the instructor John's name. I am glad we did this, and hopefully we can come back again for the lesson soon. Thank you.

03/20/2010 -- Takane, Saddle River, NJ

Thank you for the surf lesson. My sister and I had a great time!

03/16/2010 -- Melissa, Queen Creek, AZ

Thank John for the time, I really enjoyed it, as I told him my girl and I will be coming back down sometime to continue some lessons.

02/18/2010 -- Jonas, Alberta, Canada,

My grandchildren had the most wonderful time with their lessons. I really enjoyed Dave and his teaching techniques with all of them. He remembered their names and was very attentive to each one of them. He made sure each of them, had their turn and no one was favored or left out. We have some great pictures of everyone as well as a group picture. Dave and you have helped make memories for them to carry for the rest of their life and to tell all their friends about. We will be sending pictures early in March and you may post them on your wall of fame, we would be most honored if you did. Thank you and your staff for a wonderful time again.

02/17/2010 -- Kathleen, Worcester, MA

We had a great time. Wes and Zack were awesome instructors. We really appreciate their patience and sense of humor. Zack never complained about how cold it was! ;) Charlotte and I are already planning our vacation for next year so we will be sure to contact you for more lessons when the time comes. We will bring our daughter next time. She was very interested in learning how to surf after we told her about it. Thanks again!

01/28/2010 -- Greg, Kalamazoo, MI

I really enjoyed my lesson and got up on the board multiple times. Dave was a very good instructor and gave me personalized attention.

11/25/2009 -- Kelly, Rochester, MN

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say how much I enjoyed my lessons in Cocoa Beach. Wes is a great instructor - I had fun and had a great learning experience. If I get back out that way again I will definitely be in contact.

11/24/2009 -- John, College Station, TX

My surf lesson on Sunday in Jupiter with David was great. He was a pleasure to learn from and I look forward to my son getting a little older so I can sign him up for some lessons. Thank you so much for the great experience!

10/19/2009 -- Nancy, Tampa, FL

On behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Northern Florida, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous donation of a discount on surfing lessons for Amber during her wish in September 2009. The family had a wonderful time and it was truly a magical wish for Amber. Again, we are grateful for your generosity and compassion.

10/09/2009 -- Ruthie, Orlando, FL

I had a great lesson and am very excited to have another go at surfing.

09/29/2009 -- Mitzi, Jupiter, FL

I just returned to the hotel after my lesson with Wes. What a great time and Wes was an excellent instructor. He was extremely knowledgeable and made my first surfing experience a great one. This will definitely be a highlight of the trip. Thanks again for making it happen.

09/20/2009 -- Jeff, Ontario, Canada,

Thank you. I did enjoy myself. I will keep you in mind when I am back down in that area.

09/09/2009 -- Cristelle, Centerville, VA

I just wanted to say that my friend and I had an awesome time learning how to surf with Wes a few weeks back. We were so sore and beat up by the waves, but we're just dying to go back and keep on trying. We think we need like a good week of surf lessons with Wes and then we'd be ready to go on our own. :) We will no doubt be back in Cocoa Beach next year and may need to have you guys help us out again. We had a great time! Thanks so much!!!

09/09/2009 -- Nicole, Neenah, WI

Amazing lesson, Steve was very helpful in teaching me all the technical aspects of surfing and explaining ocean and wave conditions. Thanks again.

08/09/2009 -- Bashar, Deerborn, MI

Gordan was the best, we had a terrific day, the boys got up and surfed with style. Madi and I never up but really close and anxious to try again.

08/01/2009 -- Kathleen, Florence, SC

Thanks so much for the lesson. Zach had a blast. Wes did a great job and Zach was riding the waves after the hour!

07/29/2009 -- Janeen, Orlando, FL

Tyler and I both thoroughly enjoyed surfing camp last week. Wes and Zach made us feel very at ease, were very patient with us "newbies" and provided us with lots of surfing insight that we would never have figured out on our own!! They were both lots of fun to be around and we look forward to possibly coming out for another camp again next summer. They both went over and above to make sure that Tyler was taken care of. Tyler's Mom said that this was definitely the highlight of his summer break, and it was a wonderful experience for me too... it definitely made me want to move back to Merritt Island!!

07/27/2009 -- Kelly, Pembroke Pines, FL

Thanks had a great time and Wes was extremely great and my kids were blown away, again Wes was outstanding. I will be calling again. Thank you and I have referred you to all my firefighter friends.

07/26/2009 -- Anthony, Tampa, FL

07/14/2009 -- Herbert, Tampa, FL

The lesson was great! Wes was really cool about everything and I actually caught a few waves. I live in Virginia but we take our vacations there one or two weeks in may/June hope to catch Wes next year for a refresher. Thanks for the fun.

04/15/2009 -- Amanda, Orlando, FL

Thank you very much, my instructor was very good.

04/04/2009 -- Sara, Miami, FL

Just wanted to know that the girls loved it and Greg was an excellent teacher. Thanks for the great time.

04/01/2009 -- Patty, Moreland Hills, OH

My kids really enjoyed the lesson and spending time with Wes. I was very pleased with how the morning was handled not knowing what to expect. Wes was absolutely wonderful. He was very patient, helpful and sensitive to each of my kids. His concern over whether everyone was getting what they needed out of the time was very heart warming. I was extremely impressed with how professional and yet personal Wes was. He is an awesome representative of your business. Next time we are in town we will definitely do business again. Thanks.

03/27/2009 -- Angie, Racine, WA

I wanted to let you know that our children really enjoyed their lesson, the instructor did a wonderful job with them and it was one of the highlights of their vacation.

03/27/2009 -- Bryan, Des Moines, IA

I had a wonderful experience today with your instructor Dave. He took the time to explain everything, watch to give me points to improve, was engaging and a great encourager. I haven’t ever surfed until today, and because of his instruction I was able to ride well almost 10 times. Thanks!

03/21/2009 -- Ryan, Delray Beach, FL

I had a great time and Wes was really great! I learned a lot and I hope I will have the chance to surf again really soon! Thanks

03/17/2009 -- Lina, Melbourne, FL

I was really hoping to return to Northern New York State with some kind of obvious surfing injury, like a black eye, so I could explain in a casual, yet cool, way that I got it surfing. Maybe next time. We loved Dave--so cool, so much fun and so patient! It was definitely the highlight of our week. Thank you.

03/16/2009 -- Kathryn, Philadelphia, NY

I just wanted to send a message of thanks for the surf lesson. Lucas had a wonderful time and can't wait to surf again sometime soon! Thank you for contacting me at the hotel the morning of the lesson.

03/12/2009 -- Melissa, Canada,

I did have a great time in the water in South Beach. Denny was most helpful. It was actually more work that it looked like in the movies. Thanks for the good service. I hope to use you in the future.

03/08/2009 -- Dan, Freeport, ME

The girls thoroughly enjoyed it!

03/05/2009 -- Sheila, Tequesta, FL

Thanks to Dave for helping me get back in the water again! Surfing again helped my snowboarding. Cheers

02/24/2009 -- Sherry, San Francisco, CA

I had a blast. John was great: very patient and encouraging but also very thorough. He gave me some workout tips and I'm getting into shape so I can come back asap!

02/24/2009 -- JP, Chanhanssen, MN

Your instructor, John was terrific!!! Even with an old 55 year old bird like me...

02/22/2009 -- James, Short Hills, NJ

This was an excellent experience for me. John, my instructor and I got on very well and he gave me exactly what I needed to keep moving forward in this intriguing sport. He's a great guy (a fellow snowboarder, too) and a real asset to the program. Thanks again

02/02/2009 -- David, Coeur d'Alene, ID

We enjoyed the surfing immensely – Zach did a great job – although I am convinced that it is painful giving us amateurs pointers he was upbeat, attentive and extremely helpful the whole time. His attitude and knowledge made it a very positive experience. All 4 of us were able to get up multiple times – all of us could hardly lift our arms by the end of the first hour – your suggestion that 2.5 hours was the perfect amount of time was exactly right.

12/31/2008 -- Brent, Manitoba, Canada,

Thanks! The boys enjoyed it, and I will be sure to call on you again! Thank you for a great experience!

12/26/2008 -- Julie Ann, West Palm Beach, FL

Wes was great for our lessons! He did a wonderful job!

12/16/2008 -- Brandie, Duluth, MN

Zach did a nice job; he is very personable and patient. During the lesson on Friday, in spite of the fact that he was freezing, he maintained his cheerful disposition and continued to offer encouragement even as I failed. I'd certainly recommend your school and Zach to anyone looking for surfing lessons.

12/15/2008 -- Keith, Houston, TX

Kids had lots of fun with the waves and the board without a doubt. Wes was patient with kids and my son is now hooked and getting more serious about becoming a surfer in the summer time. My youngest who made the surfing for first time look so easy to everyone at the beach watching, had a blast as well.

12/02/2008 -- Fran, Boston, MA

My son Michael really enjoyed the lesson. Gerard is a great instructor and excellent with children. Thanks.

11/23/2008 -- Galina, Miami, FL

I absolutely LOVED the surf lesson and I hope that John enjoyed himself as well. Next time I am down there, I will absolutely call for another. In the meantime, please thank John again for me and tell him that I am hooked! Have a good winter!

11/19/2008 -- Cindy, Jersey City, NJ

The Surf lesson was awesome, as was the instructor-David.

11/10/2008 -- Alysia, Wellington, FL

The lesson was fantastic. I had a blast, and Dave is great. I will definitely stay in touch for my next visit.

11/05/2008 -- Andy, New York City, NY

Just wanted you to know that everything worked out great today. Cate was a great instructor. Thanks again for a great instructor.

11/05/2008 -- Jay, New Haven, CT

The girls really enjoyed the lesson even the part where they kept getting pummeled wave after wave. We're already talking about coming out at least once a month. Tampa's not that far to come just for the day.

10/30/2008 -- Denise, Tampa, FL

Thank you for a great lesson. The kids enjoyed it tremendously. I have passed on your website to three families and told them how great your team was.

10/30/2008 -- Lynda, Ft. Myers, FL

It was awesome. John was great and we got along well. Thanks for the experience! I'll definitely be out there again!

10/10/2008 -- Aaron, Prescott, AZ

Please tell Zach how much I enjoyed my lessons, and how much I learned!!!!

10/09/2008 -- David, Charleston, SC

The girls all had a great time and Ricardo was so much fun for them. He was terrific and I am sure we will do something in the future. We will definitely do something like this again and I think they were all ready for some bigger waves. Thanks for all your help in setting this up and giving them such a nice, easy going instructor.

10/02/2008 -- Katie, Key of Biscayne, FL

Dave was fantastic....Jake thought Dave was absolutely great...a fine young man....Jake is going out today for an hour or an hour and a half (as Dave suggested)...got his board yesterday.

09/28/2008 -- Tom, Baltimore, MD

The lesson was AMAZING, I enjoyed it very much, John is a great teacher, I learned so much.

09/17/2008 -- Vivian, Boca Raton, FL

Hey John, Wes was great and we had lots of fun.

09/15/2008 -- Ellen, St. Petersburg, FL

The surfing lesson was great and the surf instructor, David was very personable and EXTREMELY patience. I will in the near future be arranging more lessons. In the meantime you have a very happy customer who would highly recommend your company to anyone. Thank you.

09/13/2008 -- Catherine, Jupiter, FL

We had too much fun. Next time I am over there your first on my list.

09/03/2008 -- Brigid, Naples, FL

The lesson was great! Thank you! I'll be contacting you soon to arrange another lesson.

09/03/2008 -- Chris, Miami, FL

I had sooooooooo much fun the other day! I wish I could have had more time to take a few more lessons. Thank again and I'll be sure to let you know when I’m back in the area.

08/29/2008 -- Heather, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Wes was an awesome instructor. He was patient with everyone. Good times! I can't wait to get out on the waves again. I absolutely loved my experience and will highly recommend Florida Surf Lessons to others as the opportunity arises. Thanks! It was an awesome experience!

08/26/2008 -- Christy, Orlando, FL

Thank you, my son Jake had a great time. He can't wait to catch some more waves soon.

08/25/2008 -- Judi, West Palm Beach, FL

My son and I enjoyed the lesson, though it was exhausting!

08/22/2008 -- David, New Haven, CT

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in getting us out for a lesson this past Sunday. John was a great instructor and wonderfully patient with our less than stellar display of physicality. We had a great time!

08/20/2008 -- Elizabeth, Long Island, NY

Wes did a great job today! It was an awesome first experience. I can’t wait to go out again.

08/18/2008 -- Sandy, Orlando, FL

I am had a GREAT time and thanks or what you guys do!

08/15/2008 -- Tom, Baltimore, MD

08/15/2008 -- Camille, Maitland, FL

Thanks. Wes did a great job.

08/12/2008 -- Dave, Fairfax, VA

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time in Cocoa Beach yesterday. Our instructor Wes did an outstanding job and the girls, though VERY apprehensive when they found out what we were at the beach for, didn't stop talking about it for hours. Wes was very patient, easygoing, and friendly and made it a GREAT experience for all of us. While we certainly aren't ready to go on tour, we are ready to try surfing again. I will gladly recommend your company to anyone and if we are down that way again, you can bet that we will look you up again. Thanks for all of your help in helping to make our Mystery Tour memorable.

08/11/2008 -- Tom, Cocoa Beach, FL

I wanted to let you know what an amazing time I had during Surf Camp. Dave was awesome, Phil was fantastic and a great social co-coordinator and Rick totally went out of his way to take us wake surfing. They all went over and above my expectations. I've only been home a day and already I've told people about your camp. Please thank the boys for a FANTASTIC week. I know all my fellow "camp mates" felt the same.

08/05/2008 -- Lorna, Ontario, Canada,

What a great time we had! I look forward to doing it again! Thanks again to Wes for being such a good sport!

08/03/2008 -- Carrie, Miami, FL

The surf camp was amazing. I want more!!!!!!!!!! Dave and Phil were just fantastic, a million thanks!

08/03/2008 -- Elizabeth, Hollywood, FL

Phil was very nice and patient too! I don't think this will be the last time that we surf, thanks to him.

07/31/2008 -- Mitch, Denmark,

I had a wonderful time. I've told everyone I know to take surf lessons!!! I loved the experience!!!

07/30/2008 -- Jackie, Knoxville, TN

We both had a great day and Phil was very patient with us both.

07/29/2008 -- Andy, United Kingdom,

Thank YOU for everything, my daughter had an amazing time. It was incredible to watch her riding her first wave all the way in. Her sense of accomplishment and excitement was amazing. Thanks to you and your team. You do great work.

07/29/2008 -- Jason, Orlando, FL

First let me say thank you for the arrangements made to provide the surf lessons for Amey, last Saturday. Your staff was/is amazing! Phil was exceptional! He taught three ladies that morning and a young lady that had been with lessons during the week. I’m very happy to say that Amey was thrilled and completely enjoyed herself on the short visit from Pennsylvania (and even happier to say she’ll be back for more lessons)! Please pass our thanks on to Phil, you should be very proud to have him on staff, he is AWESOME! Thanks again!

07/29/2008 -- Bill, , PA

The lesson was amazing and Greg is an incredible instructor! I was very impressed with his patience and his humor! Next time I am in the Miami area and looking for another lesson I will be sure to contact you again!

07/24/2008 -- Krystle, Toronto, Canada,

We had a great time and just wish that we lived closer so we could surf more. We will definitely be back though. John was a great instructor - very patient and thorough. We also appreciate your organization and communication - it made it very easy for us. We couldn't have enjoyed it more. Thanks again!

07/22/2008 -- Karen, Syracuse, NY

It was a great experience. Dave is an asset to your company. And, the weather was great, the water was beautiful, and I have great stories for telling when I return to NYC.

07/21/2008 -- Lisa, New York City, NY

Dave was great. We will be back, probably next month after vacation. Think my wife will join us too.

07/20/2008 -- Glenn, Stuart, FL

We had a killer time on Sat. An awesome instructor, obviously. Because we both never surfed a day in our lives and we were up riding waves in no time. You have really great feedback and words of encouragement. Thanks for everything.

07/16/2008 -- Chris & Michelle, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

My son Michael truly enjoyed the lesson and now wants to become a professional surfer ;-) We will definitely try again!

07/16/2008 -- Susan, Aventura, FL

My son Michael truly enjoyed the lesson and now wants to become a professional surfer ;-) We will definitely try again.

07/15/2008 -- Susan, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Thank you, Nick really enjoyed his lesson with Dave.

07/01/2008 -- Marlene, West Palm Beach, FL

I had a great time and can't wait to get back into the water. I'm planning to buy a board as soon as we get back. Dave was an excellent teacher. Now I have to find a surfing buddy.

07/01/2008 -- Jodi, Hobe Sound, FL

Please let me thank you for a wonderful experience! Wes is a marvelous instructor. He is patient, shows lots of encouragement, and gave us information that we would need to become better surfers. You are fortunate to have him working for you. Surf camp was a blast! I'll probably come back over for a refresher course, after I practice around here. Thank you, and thanks very much to Wes!

06/30/2008 -- Stephanie, St. Petersburg, FL

I had a great time. Juan was great!

06/30/2008 -- Keenan, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Thanks so much to you and Wes as well. I had a great time...will definitely be in touch to come back if I'm ever in the area.

06/27/2008 -- Ashley, Tampa, FL

Thank you for the lesson. Michael had a blast! We will be checking out your website, since Michael is now wanting to purchase a surfboard. Phil did a great job at giving the surfing lessons. Thanks for everything.

06/26/2008 -- Glenda & Michael, Lexington, KY

John, we will see you again soon, my daughter loves it. We live 45 minutes away.

06/25/2008 -- Randy, Orlando, FL

Was a really nice experience, I did it …with your help!!! so I'll be there again for camp session.

06/24/2008 -- Janine, Miami, FL

Brian and Ed did have a great week. They seemed to get out of it what they wanted...and only wished the waves had been bigger. No doubt I will be driving over to the east coast a few times a year when we hear that the surf is up. Wes is an outstanding instructor.

06/17/2008 -- Carolyn, Sarasota, FL

Thanks so much. I had a wonderful time.

06/17/2008 -- Laura, Washington, DC

Thanks so much for accommodating us and Phil was awesome!!! Very patient with the girls and the conditions were perfect for beginners. Really great time!

06/08/2008 -- Carol, Ft. Pierce, FL

Dave was a great teacher…he made the experience a lot of fun, and easy! I would like to schedule a lesson for my daughter.

06/03/2008 -- Brooke, Wellington, FL

I wanted to write to thank you for the surf lesson given by Greg for my two daughters and me. We had a great time.

06/03/2008 -- Chris, Chicago, IL

Thank you for all of your help getting it organized; you have excellent communication skills! We’ll definitely check you guys later if/when we go back to FL, which we probably will. I, for one, had tons of fun and can’t wait to do it again!

06/01/2008 -- Libby, Topeka, KS

Danny had a blast surfing, and Wes was a fantastic instructor! That guy has the patience of a saint! Thanks for everything--we LOVED Cocoa Beach.

05/30/2008 -- Connie, Bayfield, CO

I just wanted to tell you that our surf instructor Philip went over and beyond his duties during our lessons on Saturday.

05/27/2008 -- Melanie, Ortonville, MI

Thank you so much-we LOVED it! We had so much fun. I hope my work sends me back to South Beach again so I can take more lessons.

05/23/2008 -- Candyce, Dallas, TX

Thank you very much for organizing the lessons. It was great fun! Both John and Greg are great fun and they really made the lesson very comfortable and AWESOME! Did they tell you that we all stood up? Wicked instructors for sure! We will definitely keep you guys in mind the next time we're in town.

05/20/2008 -- Colleen, Toronto, Canada,

I had a lot of fun! I'll let you know when i come back to Miami to have some more lessons!

05/20/2008 -- Diana, New York City, NY

Thanks I had a good time and got a little better.

05/20/2008 -- Jeff, Santa Rosa, CA

Thanks so much for being so accommodating to our travel needs from Miami to Cocoa Beach. We had a blast learning (and falling a lot, but hey, those are the breaks), and Wes was a great instructor. Please pass along our thanks to him as well. We will definitely look for Florida Surf Lessons on our next trip down south!

05/17/2008 -- Randy, Grainville, OH

Wes was great, thanks for all the help.

05/15/2008 -- Matthew, Calgary, Alberta, Canada,

I had a blast surfing with Dave last week. It was the highlight of my whole vacation. He has me hooked and I cannot wait to do it again!! Too bad there is no ocean in Alberta!! hahaha...anyway, I have some pictures that I am sorting through so I will send you some from the lesson soon.

05/09/2008 -- Laura, Calgary, Alberta, Canada,

I had a great time too – John is a great instructor and easy to understand and get along with…I just felt like we were hanging out. I cannot wait for another lesson…

05/09/2008 -- David, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

The lesson was great and Greg did a fantastic job. My kids loved it and it gave them their initial introduction to the ocean.

05/09/2008 -- Randy, , TX

You should know that our grandchildren had a wonderful time surfing. It was their first time and Dave was great!

05/01/2008 -- Marilyn, Boston, MA

We thought Wes was great and some of the girls want to keep trying. Who knows, we may come to a clinic or sign up for more lessons. We'll definitely keep you in mind. Thanks!

05/01/2008 -- Jennifer, New Smyrna, FL

Had a ball!!! Dave is indeed and great instructor and he and I had some very good conversations. I am looking forward to my next lesson as soon as I work on a few surf related exercises. I have already recommended you to several people and will continue to do so. My sincere thanks.

04/23/2008 -- Richard, West Palm Beach, FL

Thank you John. The lesson was great.

04/21/2008 -- Sean, Somerville, MA

I cannot tell you what a great time I had! My muscles are still sore. What a way to work out and have fun!!! I am so motivated to keep it up, I have asked my husband for a board for mothers day!!! Dave is exceptional at what he does and is very motivating. I was worried about frustrating my instructor but instead walked away feeling like this is something I can do and become pretty decent at even though I am 31 and starting late. Thank you so much and please keep me on your mailing list as I'd like to participate in next years surf trip.

04/21/2008 -- LeAnn, Boynton Beach, FL

My lesson was great. I was hoping to go again while I'm here.

04/18/2008 -- Jay, New Haven, CT

We had a great time. Greg was a great instructor. The next time I am in FL I will definitely do another lesson with you guys. Thanks again.

04/17/2008 -- Lauren, Philadelphia, PA

I had a great time last weekend. Surfing is fun and very addictive! Wes is an excellent teacher. He had immense patience while working with me and suggested some exercises to better prepare myself for my next trip. And yes! I am already planning my next surf trip towards the end of May.

04/15/2008 -- Heha, Chicago, IL

I had a lot of fun learning surfing. Most likely I will go back with some other friends to take group private lessons or something like that. I need to get stronger in my upper body to get more out of lessons next time. Wes is a great instructor!

04/07/2008 -- Helen, New York City, NY

I had a great time and am definitely hooked. Ricardo was a great instructor, very knowledgeable and patient.

04/07/2008 -- Pedro, Miami, FL

hi john! thanks for the hook up w/ dave - he's such a cool guy!! of course the day was just MAD FUN!! dave is so good to everyone ~ then we had a picnic on the beach - OMG - something magic happens to food when your outside - it's SO good!! so my next school break is in may - & will e-mail you then for another surf afternoon! (wish i could go every weekend!) a great big thank you for being so laid back , accommodating & a great guy!!

04/07/2008 -- Diana, Palm City, FL

Our kids had a great time! Wes worked VERY HARD to help them-it was definitely harder than they thought. Thanks for everything. We will call again the next time we're in Florida!

04/06/2008 -- Theresa, Ypsilanti, MI

We had a great surf lesson today - lots of fun and fully exhausting

04/04/2008 -- Chris, Boston, MA

Thank you very much for being so accommodating. To find a business nowadays that is so competent, reliable, and flexible is so nice. I will recommend you to everyone who goes to Florida as a fun thing to try. Juan was great with the kids and they have said trying to surf was one of the top things they did the entire vacation.

04/03/2008 -- Margie, Barrington, IL

It was a lot of fun. I will definitely be in touch for more lessons!

03/25/2008 -- Laurie, Miami, FL

I had a fun time at my lesson and look forward to another chance to go surfing. Please be sure to thank Gordon and Dave for me again, they were great.

03/25/2008 -- Morgan, Denmark, MD

I wanted to send a note of thanks for getting everything confirmed and set up. I enjoyed the lessons and Wes did a great job working with all of us! My only complaint would be that I wish we could have gone longer. It being my first time , I felt I was starting to get a good hang of it toward the end of the day and learned how not to expend all my energy getting back out into the water. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back down for a longer , leisure stay and will recommend to any friends looking to learn how to surf your program.

03/24/2008 -- Tim, Lewis Center, OH

Thanks, John. We definitely plan on surfing with your group again. Dave did a great job!

03/19/2008 -- Shari, Toronto, Canada,

I just wanted to let you know my kids had a great time taking a surf lesson.

03/19/2008 -- Patty, Duluth, MN

John – My boys flew home today. They had an awesome time with Wes. You were right and they didn’t make it 5 hours, but had a blast. They just wish the waves would have been a little better the rest of the days. The next time they come to Florida we will make sure we contact you for some more lessons.

03/18/2008 -- Kathy, Olathe, KS

It was great and i will look you up again when in the area. Thanks and good luck.

03/18/2008 -- Bill, Bethesda, MD

Hi John, Yes, we had a good time and certainly will continue. We need to get more practice in soon. Biarritz in France is our best option. It’s just the time. With skiing, mountain biking, shooting there is only little time left for surfing. But we’ll manage. Say hello to Wes and thanks for all

03/18/2008 -- Robby, France,

We had a great time. Wes provided us with some great instruction and we all had many laughs. Nothing like surfing that first wave. We look forward to taking our new knowledge up to the Vineyard this summer. I was impressed with the your operation. First class all the way. Sunday was the high light of our trip. We are now a surf family. :)

03/18/2008 -- Shawn, , AR

We enjoyed the lesson, looking forward to the next one and will be in touch in the next day or so regarding the surf clinic in Ft. Lauderdale this Saturday.

03/18/2008 -- Laurie, Miami, FL

My girlfriend and I had our lessons last weekend and had a great time.

03/15/2008 -- Steve, Alberta, Canada,

The lesson was great. John really knows hi stuff and made the entire 2.5 house a blast. I will give you a call next time i am in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for everything.

03/10/2008 -- Scott, Worchester, MA

Chuck was great. My college age kids are ready for round 2. Chuck deserves a medal. He stayed out Sat. morning in the cold, windy surf with my son until the end (the rest of us quit at noon). And he smiled and offered easy-to-follow advice for all of us on a day when the weather was a challenge. We all had a great time.

03/10/2008 -- Michael, Ft. Myers, FL

Vivien and I had a fantastic time. Vivien still has lots of getting used to the ocean ahead of her, but having such a great introduction was really helpful. The fact that she almost got up on the board meant the world to her and she wants to do more in the future. Wes was really patient and did a great job. Thank you. Having been off the board awhile, I was thrilled to get back into it. If lessons are in our future (I hope so!), we'll keep you in mind and pass along the info to anyone we know who want to try it.

03/10/2008 -- Kelly, Mt. Vernon, NH

Hey John! I truly had a great time, Dave was right, now I want to surf all the time! Thanks again, u guys are stellar!

03/08/2008 -- Melissa, Coral Springs, FL

Thanks! We had a great time. The waves weren't as cooperative as they were in Cocoa Beach, but Greg made the experience a lot of fun, and I may have gotten my girlfriend hooked on the sport....we will see!

03/07/2008 -- Ritchie, New York City, NY

John, it exceeded our expectations. John did a great job with my daughter. He represented your company well. We will be back and we will recommend others to you.

03/05/2008 -- Chris, Liverpool, NY

Thanks for hooking us up with the other John. We had a blast the other day with John, and were glad he was willing to ride out the weather. Charlie, the eight year old, couldn't have had a better first experience. Sarah T. and I appreciated that John brought what we call the "Granny Board", so that we were able to get up! Here are some snaps for your enjoyment. I'll upload a brief video of Charlie surfing to Youtube and send you a link.

02/28/2008 -- Sarah, Falmouth, MA

thanks. i had fun too. i don't know when/if i'll be back in the miami area but i am glad i took the lessons. thanks again for the help (to both of you!)

02/21/2008 -- Seen, Toronto, Canada,

I just wanted to say that we had a great time in our lessons this weekend! Dave was a really great teacher and made it really fun and relaxing.

02/20/2008 -- Lizzie, Brooklyn, NY

Both Dave and John were great -- and the kids really caught some waves. Plan on rec'ing you guys to our friends in Jupiter and Hobe Sound.

02/20/2008 -- Shannon, Boston, MA

Alden had an amazing time and Dave was a wonderful instructor. I know I learned a lot and my son’s confidence is soaring. We’ll be back next year when we visit my folks in Jupiter .

02/14/2008 -- Ilona, Port Jefferson, NY

We had a great time "surfing" with David today. Many thanks!

02/14/2008 -- Janie, Vero Beach, FL

David was outstanding. I told my friends all about my lesson and everyone expressed an interest in going next time so I am trying to get everyone’s schedules together so I can call to arrange a lesson with a bigger group.

02/07/2008 -- Nikki, Denver, CO

The surf lesson was great! The tips that John gave me were very good, and will not doubt prove critical when I get my new board out there on my next visit.

01/30/2008 -- Matt, Hartson, WI

Just wanted to let you know the kids had a great time on Friday. The instructed connected with them and made it fun! We appreciate your help and look forward to maybe doing it again!

01/22/2008 -- Paul, Baltimore, MD

Just wanted to let you know the kids had a great time on Friday. The instructor connected with them and made it fun! We appreciate your help and look forward to maybe doing it again!

01/19/2008 -- Stephanie, Canada,

I was glad I chose Florida Surf Lessons. I had a great time working with Dave and really enjoyed talking to him. I loved being out on the water and the surfing experience. I have been thinking about it since Saturday and thinking about applying things Dave said so that I can improve. So, I am very excited to go back out again! I already had a trip planned for this weekend or I would definitely be out there over the weekend. Thanks to you and Dave.

01/15/2008 -- Chad, Jupiter, FL

John was a great instructor, and we all had a really great time. I'll definitely contact you again the next time we're in Miami.

01/14/2008 -- Gene, Ellicott City, MD

Just wanted to let you know that my son, Aaron thoroughly enjoyed his surf lesson on January 6th. Juan was great and Aaron could really relate to him. I believe I've created a monster. He can't wait for summer when he can surf again. Thanks for all your help in making this happen.

01/14/2008 -- Gail, Burch, VA

I just wanted to let you know that I had an amazing time. Dave is a great instructor and I now decided I need to buy a surfboard. Thanks for aligning me with a great teacher in Dave!!

01/10/2008 -- David B., Boston, MA

That was one of the best surfing lessons I have ever had in my life! I was able to surf in 1-2 foot waves and it was beautiful! I also got to see how far I have come since last Christmas. That was amazing! Please let Jarin know that I was very grateful!

01/04/2008 -- Jenn, Apple Valley, MN

My lesson was EXCELLENT. It was the best 2 hours of my entire vacation. John was such an awesome teacher- and made the whole experience so much fun. I think he might have turned me on to surfing for life...I keep thinking about it. And really, you are lucky to have an instructor like John. There are so few people out there who are really good at what they do. He's the full package, and thats rare. He taught me a lot, totally motivated me, and made it a blast. And I am a picky person!!! So please pass that along to him. It was my very first time on a surfboard, and it is not an experience I will ever forget!

01/03/2008 -- Colleen, Brighton, ME

My girls enjoyed working with John, and they learned the first steps. All of them would like to continue their lessons with your company next time, when we come back to Fort Lauderdale.

01/03/2008 -- Juergen, Germany,

Max had such a good time and Dave is great - very professional, knowledgeable and instills confidence. I only wish we were there more often. Certainly when we are in Florida Max will definitely have a lesson with your school. Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your team!

01/03/2008 -- Amy, Brookline, MA

Thanks, we had a ball & John was a good instructor.

01/02/2008 -- Mike, Dania Beach, FL

We loved it! Even with the tiny waves we were able to get a quality experience and they were great teachers. Both Dave and Gordon were super with the kids and took much better care of us than any of the instructors my husband and I encountered on Waikiki Beach. Next time we travel to your neck of the woods we'll be in touch. Happy New Year!!

01/02/2008 -- Monica, Boca Raton, FL

Hi Geoff, I just want to say that we had a great time and that I will recommend you highly. Thanks again.

Todd Pittenger, Orlando, FL

Thanks again, for a wonderful lesson on Saturday! I am looking forward to doing it again!

Yve Sturman, Washington, DC

Hi Geoff - The girls loved their surfing lesson and Jason was great with them. We will be back in Florida in November and the girls are looking forward to their next lesson. We'll try to schedule it before we head down there. Thanks again for the great opportunity. I know this will be the beginning of their love for the sport.

Meridith Bronson, Verona, NJ

The lesson was great fun. The paddling and Jason's tips on getting up came in handy this weekend. We had some rain while I was in Florida -- so the swells were chest high. A bit more than beginner but that didn't stop some of us from going out. My arms are still sore from all the paddling (tough rip and undertow, too - so I paddled A LOT). But I was actually able to stand 4 times. Thanks a million!! If my travels take me back to Florida, I will give you a call for another lesson.

Stephanie Rinaldi, New York, NY

Had an incredible time, I am now hooked. Darren did a great job. I should be around for a month or two so if you know any other newbie's looking for someone to surf with, feel free to give them my name. I plan on doing lots of this while here. Thanks again!

Jim Steele, Jonesboro, AR

I had fun on Sunday...I definitely will be calling you again. If you want to come meet the dolphins at my work, just email me or call me on my cell phone. Anyway, thanks again. I had so much fun.

Rachel Friedman, Coral Springs, FL

Juan had a wonderful surf lesson, and Darren is a great instructor and person. He was very nice to all of us. Thank you again and I hope to contact you guys soon since my son wants to take another class.

Marta Torres, Miami Beach, FL

Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome weekend and for getting me started in a new sport ( or should I say addiction. ) I hope to hook up and surf with you guys again sometime.

Travis Johnson, Houston, TX

Thank you for teaching me how to surf. This whole surfing lesson experience was a dream come true. I really liked the waves in Cocoa Beach. Surfing there was great. I am looking forward to taking another lesson in the future. Thanks again!

Danielle Lozea, Orlando, FL

What can we say!!! We had a great time. Your passion for this sport was recognizable over the phone and made us feel comfortable while we were planning our trip. Our lesson with Jason was outstanding. He provided some great instruction. He was extremely professional and personable. After our lesson, we were hooked and spent the rest of our trip in the water surfing. In fact we were so hyped that we went out and bought boards. We plan on bring them out on Lake Michigan very soon. I also spent some time talking with Marc in the water as he was working with the kids from the camp. He shared some some of his amazing knowledge of surfing with us. Everyone that we ran across from your organization was great. Please be sure to tell everyone thanks (especially Jason and Marc). We both agree that Florida Surf Lessons blew away our expectations. Please keep us in the loop as to what is happening with you guys, especially in regards to any surfing trips to other countries. Thanks again.

Joel and Patrice Tosi, La Grange, IL

Thanks Geoffrey. Please pass my thanks along to Jason as well. Your outfit is very professional and well run. Good luck with future operations and expansion.

Gyasi Bourne, Toronto, Canada,

We had just a wonderful time. Ft. Pierce treated us like kings. The beach was a perfect place to learn. I am looking in to the great lakes surf club now. Anytime, in fact it already has somebody wants to learn about surfing I will drop your name and business. I think we will be back next year just to get another day of lessons, next time with our own boards. One last thing, board shorts -- I did not know how important they are we surfed all day the last day before Charlie came rolling in and my rash from the webbing of my swim trunks is still rubbing me wrong. Ok Peace to you, your family and your business.

Todd and Kat Casey, Dekalb, IL

Hello Geoff - A big Thank you! We had a great time surfing in Florida over the holiday weekend. Will you forward this to Jason? I tried surfing this weekend in Galveston, Texas. The boards we rented were hard plastic but seemed ok. The waves were choppy and irregular. I definitely like Florida waves better. I went with a friend and we got up a few times but were getting pretty beat up. I wiped out really bad once on a big wave when I changed my mind at the last minute. The bottom lines are: - Thank you for teaching me to surf. I love it. - Its more fun surfing with you. You make it look easy. I'm referring you to a friend. I'll tell her to give my name so you can be extra nice to her.

Laura Stafford, Sugarland, TX

Hello Geoff - The boys all had a great time and really like surfing. It was a good experience and Stacey was a very informative instructor.

Bonnie Kuon, Lafayette, LA

Geoff - Both my girls had a great time, if they had done this the first day they said they would of surfed everyday. Once again, thank you for making our vacation a successful one.

Joyce Hance, Bakersville, CA

My daughter attended surf lessons yesterday. I wanted to thank you, Rebecca, and Geoff . You guys were great! She was able to learn about Florida waves vs. Cali. Although Alyssa is not ready for a good board (I have one and want to make sure she wants to pursue this) I will keep your company in mind. We encounter lots of people so I will def. refer people to you. I am considering driving her down to Deerfield for the group surfing. I hope you guys realize what an impact you had on my daughter. Thanks guys--you rock!!! (am I too old to say that).

Alison Wood, Lake Wood, FL

My daughter and I had a great experience with Mike. Will do it again some weekend in the near future. If you are expecting any good weather/waves, do you have an e-mail list we can join for short notice lessons? We´re sort of out of the loop over here on the Gulf Coast. Thanks again.

Mark Lehr, Ft. Myers, FL

Thank you for the surfing lessons last Saturday. I had so much fun. I never expected that I was able to stand up on the board in the first lesson. It was a great feeling. I loved it so much. I'd love to come back and take more lessons. Eleanor and I have told everyone that we know about your surf school and recommended to them. Thank you so much again, and hope see you again.

Tomomi Miura, Miami, FL

Hi Geoff, I had an awesome time surfing Cocoa Beach! Thank Jason big for me. He not only taught me how to surf but he also gave me a list of all the good places to go and practice in the Cocoa Beach area. After the lesson I went to the Longboard House and picked up a funshape as Jason recommended. I'm looking forward to becoming as good as you guys! Next time you or Jason go surfing in Cocoa Beach feel free to give me a shout. Thanks again.

Javier Salado, Melbourne, FL

Hi Geoff. I just wanted to let you know what an incredible time we had surfing today. It was the 5 of us girls with our instructor Darren and he was great. Thanks again, we had a blast and we will definitely be sending you some more students AND we appreciate the sunshine today. I told you I wanted some sun!!! We may be calling you for some info before we go out and buy our own boards- I may be addicted! :)

Mary Plott, Cocoa Beach, FL

Thanks Geoff. My friend and I had a great time with Jason- it was so much fun. He's a great teacher. I hope to go again when I return to Fla later this year.

Charlotte Riggs, Owings Mills, MD

My surfing lesson in Cocoa Beach was really fun. Jason is a great surf instructor, and I feel that learned a lot from him. Please keep me posted on the Surf Camp in Cocoa Beach that Jason was telling me about. It sounds like fun. I may be joining you guys this summer! Thanks again.

Francelia Setubal, Orlando, FL

Group hug...Stacey was an excellent and very patient instructor! She did such a great job! I had fun learning to surf. Thanks again!

Carol Wysocki, Cocoa Beach, FL

Hey Geoff - AWESOME! is the best way I can describe my lesson today. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything to me and for the manual. I had such a blast and am super excited to get out and practice again! Some of my friends are even talking about trying it too, maybe we can do a group lesson. Thanks again.

Bridget Boyd, Boynton Beach, FL

I have to tell you! Analyse had the greatest Christmas present. Surfing lessons with Stacey! The weather left a little to be desired, but the warmth we received by your instructor and the excitement of a 13-year-old girl on a surf board riding the wave within 10 minutes after beginning was incredible. THANK YOU from the bottom of a grateful Mom’s heart!

LuAnn Seely, Three Rivers, MI

Geoff – It worked out so nicely!!! Sooooo looking forward to just getting a ‘fun board’ Jason suggested and getting out there!! Taking a surfing lesson was totally worth it!!! Thanks for having your surf school here in Florida – and for being so flexible with times and everything!! Jason was also telling me about Costa Rica Surf Camp – you will start to have trips down there – I’m in!!!! I’ll be done here in May on the ship – I know it’s a while – but I’d for sure head down to Costa Rica for some surf school!!! Thanks again!! And I’ll be in touch.

Molly McCaffrey, Ontario, Canada,

We really enjoyed learning how to surf last weekend in Cocoa Beach. Everyone had a ball. Stacey is really a great instructor. Thanks again.

Tava Tournant, Largo, FL

Hello Geoff - I had a great time, and learned a lot!!! Jason was very helpful and did not hesitate to share his knowledge of the waves! Thanks again for a fun day!

Tim Lewis, Naples, FL

Hello Geoff - Thanks for teaching Jake how to surf. You are incredible! Jake had such a good time that he has not stopped talking about you. Please keep me posted on the Florida summer surf camp you are planning. I know that Jake is looking forward to more! Thanks again.

Bethany Schwartz, Jupiter, FL

Please thank Darren for giving me such an awesome first surfing experience. I was really pleased to be taught by a fellow New Yorker. He was able to give me real advise on the surf spots on Long Island as well as South Florida. I felt lucky to have him as an instructor. Even through I now live in Florida I still go back to New York at least once a month so I an excited because now now I can surf in both places. Thanks again for everything!

Sarah Fernandez, Miami, FL

Geoff, My friends and I had a great time at our surf lesson. Jason is an excellent instructor with great patience and skills. We feel we received a lot of important information and tips that helped with our first attempt at surfing.We had a blast all weekend long using what we learned. We all have decided that we love to surf and will make many more trips in the near future. Thanks for introducing us to this sport in such a professional and fun manner.

Dan Lanier, Metairie, LA

My husband and I really had a fantastic time at our surfing lesson with Darren. He is a terrific instructor, and certainly exceeded out expectations. Well, we are now surf addicts and are ready for some more. Thanks again, and we will be in touch soon.

Diana Trump, Miami Beach, FL

I just wanted to let you know that Jason was incredible! He was very patient and encouraging. I learned a lot about surfing, the ocean, and the local wildlife. I had a lot of fun and am looking forward to the next time I surf. Please thank him for me.

Ana Born, Chester, VA

Hello Geoff - My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon! Darren has a great knack for instruction and we learned so much. It's true--we're considering a lifestyle change just to include surfing.

Mike Bollwitt, Bourbonnais, IL

I want to thank everyone for such a great time. My daughter had a wonderful birthday, and Florida Surf Lessons is to thank. I will be more then happy to refer people. You guys are truly first class all the way.

Melissa Knight, Weston, FL

You and Jason are great instructors and I had a fun time. It was nice watching you and Jason surf after the lesson. Both of you are very good and hopefully in the next 10 years or so I will be able to surf somewhere close to your level. In any case I plan on surfing the Juno Pier since it is right across the street from where I live so maybe I will see one of you guys out there some time.

Alison Draves, Juno Beach, FL

We had a great time and Stacy was awesome. The kids are still talking about it. We will be back and do it again.

Amy Poole, Bradenton, FL

Thank you! Jason was a great instructor and a good sport. He stayed out there with us through the pouring rain- even though he was freezing cold. The kids had a blast and are looking forward to the next time they can surf. I also want to let you know I appreciate the prompt way you do business.

Christina Hetteen, Wannaska, WI

The surf lesson was great! We had a blast. Now I am looking forward to surf camp in Cocoa Beach this summer. Can't wait to go surfing again!

Erika Sanchez, Miami Beach, FL

My daughters had a blast the day we went surfing. Jason was terrific and had someone there to assist him too. It really made a difference (having 2 people in the water with my kids), they were both great. The location he chose was also perfect for my whole family. I was with my sister, brother in law and their 2 kids, and they had a better time at that beach than the one we normally go to. We will definitely be down there next December and I’ll call to schedule more surf lessons ( probably 2 or 3 times), it would be great if we got Jason and the same assistant.

Mike Slotkey, Chicago, IL

I just wanted to say thanks for the great time I had surfing after my lesson. Although I ended up rather sun burned, I still had an awesome time, and I feel great having learned a new sport. I'll definitely be out surfing again as soon as I get the chance. The pics from your trip to Costa Rica looked great. When I had my lesson Jason was pretty excited about the trip. From the sounds of it you guys had a pretty cool time. I just wanted to say thanks again for and awesome time, and surfing is definitely going to be a hobby of mine for a long time to come. Thanks again. Very Sincerely, a client and friend.

Alan Albert, Swanton, OH

Just wanted to say that Evan thoroughly enjoyed his surf lessons with Jason - much appreciated. Pass on our regards to Jason, we have been telling friends and family about Florida Surf Lessons.

Wayne & Carol Pagani, Ontario, Canada,

Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic instructor Jason was on Friday, at the lessons for my 5 and 8 year old nephews. I know they will NEVER forget the afternoon, and they have for sure caught the "surfing bug"! Thank you for your wonderful customer service and for sending such a great match for an instructor....they were bragging about their "teacher" to everyone we showed the pictures to. Thanks again!!

Jenelle Slobof, Boynton Beach, FL

What an experience! I really had a great time learning to surf with Jason. He is a great teacher and most of all very patient. He told me all about your Costa Rica surf camps. Save room, I will be joining you guys! Surfing Costa Rica sounds fun. Thanks again and please thank Jason for me.

Olivia Stanton, Palm Beach, FL

Geoff: Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic staff you have. Rockie's surf lesson last month was with Rick. He is truly amazing and she was up on the board on the first try. Of course, there were many interesting misses after that, but it was fabulous. It was perhaps the best surprise gift I have ever come across for her. And now she is totally into the idea. She's even ready to relocate if it means she can surf. Kudos to you and your staff. Thanks for helping me pull of the gift of a lifetime. Looking forward to having Rockie work with your staff later this summer!

Ann Roesinger, Mableton, GA

We wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our surfing lesson with Mike on Jan 8th in Deerfield. Though we haven't set up another time, we will do it again in the future. Mike was a great instructor -- informative, patient and kind. Thanks again. We'll be in touch.

Evan Pelham, Delray Beach, FL

Surfing was awesome Saturday!!!! I just want to tell you Franck really spend the time with Mary Jo and I . He helped up catch waves and made sure we felt comfortable on the board..etc. He is a great teacher! Thanks again!

Michele DeSantis, Boynton Beach, FL

I had a wonderful time. Jason was kindness itself, he was very instructive and I learned a lot about surfboards, shaping, and other surf related issues. I will not hesitate to recommend Florida Surf Lessons, and if I get to visit my mom again next winter, I will arrange another lesson after having hopefully gotten in some good surfing over the summer. Thanks again.

Heidi Liebowitz, New York, NY

Geoffrey , I just wanted to take a minute and say how happy my daughters were with the surf lessons. Your instructor Crystal Cooper was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to your program and Crystal my daughters will have lasting memories and hopefully more waves!

Tim Carr, Plantation, FL

Hello Geoffrey - The girls and I had an absolute blast surfing. Too bad we can't surf in Chicago everyday! The girls keep talking about the great time they had with you guys. Please make sure to Thank Darren and Javier for us. Great teachers...hot too! Wish the weather out here was like Miami. It's only 19 degrees. Sucks! Anyway, we will definitely try to keep up with what we learned whenever we get the chance. Thanks so much. It was fun!

Margie Wrobel, Chicago, IL

Hello Geoff - I want to say thank you! My son and brother had a great time. I also had a great time watching. Some of Andy's friends are now thinking of also taking surf lessons and I will certainly give them your number. Thanks for your patience.

Suellen Mucci, West Palm Beach, FL

Wanted to let you know what a terrific job Ricky did for our daughter last week in Boca Raton. He was so patient and really stuck with her through some challenging surf conditions, and had her up and surfing and thrilled! We'll definitely use you guys again on our next visit to Florida! Please thank Ricky again for us, and for a wonderful experience.

Karen Goldstein, Hunt Valley, MD

I had a great time surfing. I'll never forget my experience. Mike was a wonderful, patient instructor. My cousin made a video so I was able to share my success with my teenage children. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.

Connie Kreyling, Edgewood, KY

Hello Geoff - Sam and I had a terrific surf lesson with Jason. He told us about the Florida surf camp you guys are working on. I am very interested in hearing more. I would love to take a week off and do nothing more then surf everyday! Please keep me posted. Surf camp here I come!

Beverly Edwards, Miami Beach, FL

I had a great time learning to surf in Jupiter. I wanted to thank Jason for being patient with me while my keys were locked in my truck. I know you guys work on a tight schedule. I really appreciated that. I hope to be purchasing a board soon so I can get out there and practice. If you ever need any help with your web site or any software programming for your business I would be happy to help out. Thanks again.

Dave Liotta, Orlando, FL

Geoff: I just wish to say "Thank You" for your help while planning for my daughter's surfing party. It was exactly how you said it would be. She had the best time of her life as well as her guests. They plan to do it again and are even looking to buy their own boards. You should have told me this was addicting!!!! !

Maria Camacho, Kendall, FL

Hey Geoff - I had a lot of fun. Seth is a really good teacher and I shall definitely be braving the waves again soon. Thanks again.

Bon Hall, West Palm Beach, FL

Geoff - the kids had a great time surfing, Jason is great, we are talking about doing this again next Christmas vacation. I understand you are the guy behind it, keep up the great work. The best to you in this new year and hopefully we will be in touch for the end of the year. Thanks again it was great.

Gail Stoffell, Rockford, IL

I had an absolutely fabulous time surfing with Florida Surf Lessons! I loved all of the information about safety, surfing technique, and information about surfboards and other equipment. You were wonderful- very knowledgeable, encouraging, and a lot of fun. Jason was great too. He also was very informative and supportive. I don't know if he told you, but when I surfed with him the second day, I was able to catch a wave all by myself! This was a first and very exciting. I feel like I have all the pieces now and just need to practice and get better at all of them. Thanks for pointing me towards Randy at Surfworld. He helped me pick out my new board and gave me a great discount. He even gave me a discount on some clothing I bought and threw in a couple of sticks of wax. I made sure he knew that you sent me over. I look forward to surfing with you again the next time I come to Florida!

Lindsay Lair, New York, NY

The kids loved it. Stacy was incredible. Thanks again for some great surfing!

Bob Eskuri, Lakeville, MN

I just want to say what a great experience I had on Sunday. Jason was fantastic! He was extremely professional, full of knowledge, and a great instructor! I'm going to practice on my own but I bet I'll be back for another lesson soon!

Kerry Worden, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Darren was great… My son really liked him ….thank you!!

Beth DeLillo, Miami Beach, FL

Thank you, Shawn was a little apprehensive at first but as soon as Jason started instructing, Shawn was completely into it. I was impressed with both of their abilities, Jason is an excellent teacher and Shawn was up and standing in just a matter of moments. I would recommend your classes to anyone who takes an interest in learning how to surf. By the way, I commend you and Jason and the rest of your staff for choosing something you love as a career. Much success to you.

Christine Kent, West Palm Beach, FL

Hi Geoff - Jason is an awesome teacher and a very cool person too (not to mention...cute...LOL) so again, thank you guys for making my vacation! I really appreciate it! I am thinking of maybe taking a Costa Rica trip with you guys and I saw that there are quite a few dates that you are going. Since Jason is such a great instructor, which trip to Costa Rica will he be taking with you? I am taking a trip to Las Vegas in May for a wedding so I probably won't be able to go until June or July. Thanks again.

Sandra Cane, Leesburg, VA

Thanks again Geoff; I really enjoyed being back in the water. I read some of the manual on the flight back. I feel like I am walking away with some very useful information. I will give you a call when I'm back down in Palm Beach.

Philipe Puccio, New York, NY

My surfing lesson in Delray Beach was awesome. I am now hooked and will be back for some more. I couldn't believe that you got me standing so fast. Surfing is sooooo much fun! Now I can't wait to get myself a surf board and try surfing up here in Mass. Thanks again.

Samantha Abrams, Salem, MA

We want to thank you so much for your professionalism. We enjoyed our surfing lesson and thought Stacey was an excellent instructor. She helped me especially, being a woman. But both of us learned new ways of surfing. I wanted to ask you what the yellow board was that I used. If you could ask Stacey, that would be great. Again, thank you and we thought Stacey was an great instructor.

Carl & Cay Lynn Schleicher, Big Bear City, CA

Fantastic! Geoff you truly run a world class operation. Franck, our surf instructor, was simply amazing with Jessica. He was patient, professional, and very personable. I can tell that he truly loves his job. Jessica now keeps asking me when we are going to Palm Beach again. I expect that we will see you again in December. If you or Franck make it up to the Hampton's this Summer please let us know. I know Jessica would love to do some Summer surfing.

Margaret Hobbs, East Hampton, NY

Jason was really friendly, helpful, and fun as an instructor. We’ll definitely contact you guys next time we’re going to be surfing in South Florida. All the best.

Trish Goodwin, New York, NY

My son, Clay and I had the best time surfing with Rickey. Rickey is a great ambassador for the sport of surfing. We are already talking about making another surfing lesson part of our next vacation. Thanks again, it was a blast. You can bet we will be surfing with Florida Surf Lessons again.

Chanc Persons, Gibson City, IL

I had a great session with Phil on Sunday, he was great-super patient and informative. I got a lot of great rides! I am definitely coming back soon to Cocoa Beach for more surf lessons. I spoke to Stacey about the surf clinics that are held on Saturdays, I am going to plan on doing one in a couple months. I will talk to you soon, and thanks a lot!

Lisa Mooney, New York, NY

Hey, thanks a lot for the great surf lesson. The lesson was definitely valuable. Thanks again.

David Ward, Boston, MA

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful time I had learning to surf in Cocoa Beach. I learned a lot from Crystal. I headed down to Cabo, Mexico after those lessons and was able to stand on the board 85% of the time. I don’t think I could have done that without taking lessons with your guys first. Thank you again.

Tiwana Coutee, Huntsville, AL

I had a great lesson. My confidence in surfing is back up. Thank you! I am all about going surfing now and have to wait till it gets warmer by me. I think I should just move to Florida. Have a great time in Costa Rica and plan a good surf camp so my friends and I have a good trip to go on.

Lindsey Levitas, Holland, PA

We had a great time. Jason is really nice! If you come to Ft Lauderdale Stop By Enzo's Stained Glass Pub for lunch or dinner. I'm co owner with my sister & brother check out our menu. I put some of your flyer at the pub. We had lots of fun. Thank you.

Lisa Mueller, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Clare (my fiancee) and I had a wonderful time, and will be working on our surfing in the future. The instructors were great, but Jason in particular was superb -- he did an excellent workshop/practice for us on the shore, and then helped guide us into waves and coached us through the whole process. At the end of his lesson both of us wished we could stay another day and have yet another lesson with him! We'll be sure to sign up for more lessons the next time we're in South Florida. Thanks again.

Edward G. Burley, Washington, DC

Carolina and I just LOVED Surf Camp! Stacey was a great lead for the camp, wonderful to be with and work with, and she had an excellent instruction team. Phil worked with me most of the time, and was just outstanding. I can't say enough good things about him: he was focused and hardworking, but easygoing and easy to work with. His way of teaching was perfect for me, and I achieved my goal for the week, which was to stand up on the board and ride it in. We plan to return for next year's all-women camp, if not sooner!!

Diane Hill, Arlington, VA

What a wonderful day. All 4 are still talking about it. Geoff, you are a terrific instructor (as noted by the girls) and I appreciate your time and expertise.

Susan Geery, Boynton Beach, FL

Thanks again for the great surfing lesson in Boca. I had a great time and look forward to attacking the waves again. Too bad we don't have those waves here in St. Louis! Oh well, what can you do.

Michael Nathanson, St. Louis, MO

Hello, Jeff. Thank you so much for everything. I had so much fun yesterday. It was nice wave at Cocoa Beach but,i could ride a couple of waves!!! It was much more fun than two years ago when i tried to go surf first time. Crystal, she is so nice! Please say thank you to her. See you next time:)

Haruka Shiiba, Tokyo, Japan,

The kids had a great time and did very well (in my view). The instructor was awesome and I would recommend your camp anytime.

Christine McLeod, Orland, FL

Jason was a good instructor, he was knowledgeable, instructive plus he showed how much fun it is. I look forward to running into you both out there some day (not literally of course).

Jorge Garcia, Miami Beach, FL

Thanks again for the lesson. I had a great time. I did end up buying a board that day. Ended up getting a 7'6 blue fun shape board from BC Surf & Sport later that afternoon. I went and attempted to surf in Fort Lauderdale later that evening as well as all day Sunday.

Alex Belbin, Davie, FL

Seth is a great surf instructor. My daughters had a great time learning to surf from him in Dania Beach. He really knows his stuff. When we are ready to go again I will certainly request him. Your lesson program is awesome. Thanks again.

Adrianne Pieczonka, Dania Beach, FL

Seriously Geoff.. Best time I have had in a long time! You are truly great at what you do. Surfing is everything you said it would be. The next time I am in Fort Lauderdale I will definitely sign up for a refresher surf lesson. Big thanks again, and if you are ever visiting the Jacksonville area please feel free to look me up.

Miguel Ramirez, Jacksonville, FL

Hi Geoff, I am back to Virginia. It feels like freezing after spending time in Florida! I want to thank you and Jason for the wonderful opportunity to learn surfing. I sure did enjoy the surf lesson. I wanted to take another one (lesson), but I had so many "agendas" to do. I hope to visit Ft. Lauderdale sometime either the end of this month or sometime before May (except those weeks when college kids invade the beaches in South FL). Thank you, and please tell Jason that he was very patient with me.

Sachiko Iwabuchi, Charlottesville, VA

Hi - We just wanted to tell you what a great time we had at our surf lessons with Michael. He was a great instructor! Very patient and helpful with us girls, also he's just an all around good guy. Thanks for a great experience, we are definitely hooked and look forward to taking another lesson.

Cristina Tomas & Jubilee Todd, Tampa, FL

Thanks for the surf lessons Geoff. Because of my positive experience, I referred you to my nephew Christopher Drum who I trust will be in-touch with you shortly. Chris lives in Boynton Beach and has been surfing for about 1 year however he feel that professional instruction will be helpful...he was particularly interested in the Surf Clinic. Once again, thanks.

Margaret Friedbender, New York, NY

Hello Geoffrey, I just wanted to let you know that our kids had a great time surfing at Cocoa Beach. Crystal did a great job working with our kids and out of all the things we did in Florida (we did lots of things), our kids enjoyed surfing the most. Thanks again.

Linda Methven, Portland, OR

Hi Geoff - We had a great time learning to surf from you guys and will probably do it again the next time we are down.

Bob MacKool, Gross Point Woods, MI

I had a wonderful time at the surf lesson in Ft Lauderdale, Jason was very nice with us and he is a good teacher! You might think that I am crazy but I bought a surfboard at Surf World. I talked to Steve like you told me and he was awesome, he rented a brand new board and the next day I bought one and he gave me very good discounts. I plan on going surfing in Hampton Beach NH this summer because it is only 5-6 hours from where I live and I plan on surfing every two week-ends if it is possible because I really liked it. Thanks again!

Emillie Bergevin, New Brunswick, Canada,

My daughter had an awesome time learning to surf. Adam made it a fun time for her. He is a great instructor and I would request him again. Nikki said she wants to do it again and have a friend join her. My son also wants to get in on the fun. Thanks again for providing a wonderful experience for my daughter!

Anne Davie, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Lera really enjoyed learning to surf and her friend, Julianne did too. The two of them are thinking about where they can go this summer to practice what they learned. I would definitely come back to Boca as it really was wonderful there but next time, I’m going to stay at a more reasonably priced hotel. That Boca Raton Resort is nice but it is very expensive. Either way it was great fun for us! Thanks again Geoff.

Sophia Navickas, Lexington, MA

Geoffrey, Hey.. had a blast with Stacey surfing in Cocoa Beach. She is an excellent representation of the quality organization you have put together. Thanks for your service and putting together a staff that truly wants to spread the good word about such an awesome sport! I'm heading out this week to get a longboard and wetsuit...thanx again!

Greg Spencer, Norfolk, VA

I just wanted to say thanks to our surf instructor, Ricky, for a great surfing lesson. He was very patient and fun to be around. We had an awesome time and hope to be surfing again soon. I must admit, since I hadn't surfed since last summer, surfing Cocoa was tough. But I plan to continue soon. Send our regards to Ricky. Thanks again.

Ydana and Rob Chella, Satellite Beach, FL

Amelia had a wonderful time. Jason was really good with her. We were all so surprised that she could stand up on the board so soon. Thank you. We will call again the next time we visit Florida.

Carolyn Mandelker, Toronto, Canada,

I had a blast learning to surf on Friday. The lesson was very helpful. In addition, I know a couple of people who are interested in surf lessons to whom i've already referred you guys. Once again thanks for everything.

Karen Moon, San Francisco, CA

I had a great time learning with Seth as well. He was excellent and gave me great insight into surfing. I will definitely continue with this and appreciate your time. Thanks again and have a great day!

Sandra Circiaco, Plantation, FL

Hi Geoff - It was awesome. Everyone had a great time at the surfing lesson. It was the talk of the town for the next week. The kids totally got into it. We took some of them back to the beach a few days later with their own surf boards and they did great. Thanks again.

Staci Dunn, Ft. Pierce, FL

I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to thank you for my daughter Valarie and her friend Jace's surf lesson yesterday! They had so much fun..... She hasn't stopped talking about it since we left. I was really impressed with how well they were both doing by the end of the lesson, I didn't think that they would be standing by the end of the lesson and I was proved wrong. Thanks again!

Jen Henning, Erial, NJ

Just a quick note to you and Jason; the guys had a blast at their surfing lesson. They were very pleased with Jason and the whole experience. Thanks again.

Candace Fletcher, Calgary, Canada,

Thanks Geoffrey. I had a blast surfing and also an exhilarating and exhausting workout. Jason was a great and patient teacher. I am going to continue here in Long Beach to see if I can stand on a more consistent basis. ;-) .

Brian McCarthy, Long Beach, NY

We want to thank you for the surf lesson in Cocoa Beach. Stacey did a wonderful job with Megan, and the surf lesson was the high-lite of Megan's vacation. I also want you to thank Stacey again for making the time adjustment. Megan was really not feeling the best on Friday, and Stacey worked her in for Monday. We definitely would refer you and your group to any of our family or friends who may be visiting the area. You guys have been great to work with. Thank you.

Lori Verbsky, Blackcreek, WI

Hi Geoff - I had a blast at my surf lesson! Please thank Adam for me! I will certainly be recommending you in the future!

Venessa Smith, West Palm Beach, FL

Our daughter Caela really enjoyed her surf lessons in Cocoa Beach with Stacey. Stacey was prompt, professional, and safe. We could not believe Caela was standing up so fast in the lesson! Your system really works well.

Glen Havens, Gloversville, NY

Just to let you know Rick was fantastic. I had an awesome time with him, he is a good bloke. If you could tell him I said Hi and give him my best wishes. I will be using Rick again hopefully in the not so distant future.

Lee Crane, London, England,

Thank you! The kids had a great time. Actually, so did the adults. I have already given your number to several troops because we all cannot stop talking about our surfing experience. The South Florida Council Venturing Committee, which I chair, is in the process of planning the 2005-2006 calendar for Venturers (co-ed 14-20). We are toying with the idea of planning a spring 2006 trip to Cape Canaveral to include surf lessons. Another thought was simply a surf weekend a little bit closer to home. We are in the very early planning stages, but I suspect we will be getting in touch with you when things solidify a bit more. Yours in Scouting.

Angelica Zayas, Miami, FL

Hello Geoffrey - Please extend our appreciation to Jason Johnson for the surfing lessons he gave us this past Sunday afternoon. Lara and I had an awesome time and will definitely give you guys a call the next time we return to FL. Jason was extremely courteous and seemed to go out of his way to make sure that we had fun. Thanks again for everything.

Ernie Strauss, Norcross, GA

Hey Geoff - Thanks so much for the surf lesson -- I had a great time and Seth was great!!!!!!!!!

Nikki Ferarra, Coral Springs, FL

Just wanted you to know that Liz had a blast at her first surf lesson. Seth was very patient and encouraging and Liz will definitely be surfing again. Thanks!

Jane Broder, Weston, CT

Thanks a lot Geoff! Sabrina and Christina had the times of their lives. Now, this summer when we go to California, guess what they have asked!! They are DEFINITELY going to do some serious surfing! Stacey and Ricky were absolutely great. Very patient and Stacey really gets them well prepared before they enter the waves! I apologize to Stacey as my husband (who is french canadian) had taken the message at our hotel room and had heard SISI!! I kept on calling her Sisi (thought it was short for something else) and she never corrected me!! The girls later told me her name was Stacey and I was SOOOO embarrassed! Please tell her I apologize! Again, thank you for everything Geoff and I hope to see some pictures of the girls on your Website soon!!!

Patsy Finkbeiner, Quebec, Canada,

Hello Geoff - Adam is a great surf instructor. Sarah and I learned a lot from him. During the lesson he mentioned that he use to run a Costa Rica surf camp. That was great because next month I am off to Costa Rica and Adam proved to be a wealth of information on Costa Rica surfing. Thanks again for the great experience. I will definitely be recommending you guys.

Zara Davis, New York, NY

I had a great time today! A great new hobbie. Got up on the 1st wave and fell in love with the sport! Can't wait to get out there again and to get my own board! Michael is a great-patient instructor. Thank you!

Juniper Korkie, Alexandria, VA

Just a quick note to let you know, I had a great time on my lesson. Jason is an excellent instructor. I was able to pick up a lot of tips from him and found him to be both knowledgeable and personable. I look forward to hooking up with you guys on my next trip East. I travel back and forth quite frequently so keep me posted on clinics and so on. I can't wait to get back out there. Thank Jason for me and I'll be in touch.

Steve Ranalli, Naples, FL

Just wanted to let you know that my spouse and I experienced three extremely enjoyable days of surfing this past weekend in the Boca Raton/Deerfield Beach area - We benefited greatly from the guidance we received from your instructor, Jason. It was very easy to make the necessary arrangements, and everything went according to plan - resulting in a superb (and exciting!) overall mini-surf vacation from the cold and snowy northeast. We look forward to doing it again soon!

Michael Kopchik, Saratoga Springs, NY

I had a lot of fun - Rickey was really really helpful. I came to realize Florida and California have WAY different waves (you'd think- water is water - but no). Thanks again.

Mithu Pottothil, Satellite Beach, FL

We really enjoyed surfing in Deerfield. Surf lessons with you were wonderful! I hope to do it again. For now, time to go back to the real world here in Chicago. Thanks a million.

Aaron Davis, Chicago, IL

It was a blast, I’m a convert. Jason was a great teacher, I learned enough to get the feel of what it would be like to actually stay standing on the board, and surf! I will absolutely sign on for some more lessons next time I’m down, and am very interested in your surf camps. Thanks again. I’ll recommend your school to anyone interested.

Bette Demeri, Sheffield, MA

Learning to surf with you was a blast. Who ever knew you would surf in Florida? Needless to say I will be making many surf trips in the future back to Hollywood Beach to surf at that Dania Pier. It was a fun trip, and now all I can think about is surfing and going out at night in Ft. Lauderdale. I will be back!

Damien Russo, New York, NY

I just wanted to put in a good word for Jason since he was a patient and helpful surf instructor. I am in Costa Rica now at Playa Tamarindo and the lesson with Jason gave me some good confidence and helped me enjoy my time here. I can't say the instruction here is at the same level! They sort of just throw you in the water and tell you to paddle--duh! Jason said you all do surf trips down here as well so please send me some info about those when you have them as I might like to do that in the future. Thanks again!

Jane Starret, Santa Fe, NM

My class had a wonderful time taking surf lessons from you and Jason. Thank you again so much! The class will not stop talking about how much fun they had, and they are asking when we can go again!!! One student went and bought a board and went surfing this past weekend. The pictures were great as well. I appreciate you taking those. I will definitely pass Florida Surf Lessons on to anyone I know. Please tell Jason that the kids said thanks and they had fun. Later :-).

Kimberly Brown, Wellington, FL

We enjoyed the public surf clinic last Saturday at Cocoa Beach. Rick's instruction was clear and especially effective with my 12 yr old, Martha, who managed several rides. Thank you.

Jane Haughney, Tampa, FL

Hey, thanks a lot. The lesson was definitely valuable, I'd certainly contact you guys again if I'm in Florida and considering another surfing lesson.

Dave Ward, Allston, MA

We had a great time. The boys talked about it all week. Funny thing is a few weeks later at home in California we were watching hurricane Wilma updates and a reporter was standing on the exact beach with the same background as we were for the surf lesson. It was totally worth the time and money for the great memory. South Beach Miami rocked.

Laura Nevarez, Victorville, CA

I just wanted to drop a note and tell you what a wonderful time I had this past Saturday. Rick Johnson was the instructor. He was great! He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. After the lesson I purchased a rash guard shirt knowing this would not be my only surfing clinic I would attend. I also have been shopping for a indo board and surf board. I cannot wait until my 4 year old daughter is old enough to take a lesson. I know she will enjoy it.

Nancy Rubin, St. Petersburg, FL

How are ya? Thanks for the awesome time. Jessica learned a lot and so did I. I thought you were coming back on Sunday. Brett is a great kid. He didn't want to accept the tip, but I forced it on him. He did a really good job instructing Jessie and making her feel safe. I was able to ride waves consistently throughout the day (much improvement!). I'll be contacting you in the coming months to schedule some more tutoring closer to home and some additional pointers on boards. Thanks again for the incredible time!

Carlos Rivereo, Miami Beach, FL

Thank you Geoff. I really enjoyed my surf lesson in Deerfield Beach with you. Thank for recommending that restaurant JD's on the water. The food was great. What is ironic is my waitress had taken a surfing lesson with one of your other instructors, Jason, so we had quite a bit to talk about! Next time I am back in Deerfield I will give you a call and you can take me through the ropes again!

Jenna Boyd, Los Angeles, CA

Jackie and I had a great time. In fact we recommended Florida Surf Lessons to her cousin, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, to contact you if she wants to try surfing. Once I get things settled around here I will head to Galveston or Surfside and put some of the things we learned into action. Please be sure to thank Jason for us.

Tom Barton, Houston, TX

What a wonderful surf lesson! Dean and I had such a good time learning to surf from you. I never knew there was good surf in South Florida. Geoff, you did a wonderful job teaching us, and we really learned a lot. The next time we are back down in Ft. Lauderdale we will be sure to look you up. As far as my friends go who want to learn to surf, well I now know where to send them. Thanks again and take care.

Sara Rinaldi, New York, NY

I wanted to write and thank you for your outstanding service. Rickey, our instructor called just as you promised and was very accommodating. He made my wife and kids feel very relaxed and comfortable. My daughter commented "You know, Rickey is a genuinely nice person, you don't meet very many like him today". He did an excellent job preparing us, and was patient and enthusiastic in the water. He also gave a great suggestion on where to get the "Insane Burrito". It was insane. We all had a Blast. Surfing in Cocoa Beach is a blast. Our friends couldn't believe that two people "our Age" could learn to surf. Now our friends want to surf too.

Rob Josephik, New Port Richey, FL

Thanks so much for sending Stacy for our surfing instructor. She did a great job. She was informative and sensitive to the age group. hahahaha We had a great time and slept well that night. Thank you again for all your help in making my husband's birthday present come true.

Anna Marie Riesterer, Roseville, MI

Hey Geoff - All of your instructors are so knowledgeable and patient. They make learning fun and easy. Thank you for the use of the board and allowing me to join the surf class on Thursday. I really learned a lot. Jason was an awesome instructor and gave me a lot of advice that came in very handy. I believe surfing has become my new favorite sport.

Jazz Murphy, Hardensburg, KY

I really enjoyed learning to surf from you in Ft. Lauderdale. You were great. The next time I am back in South Florida I will give you a call. I think I'm ready for bigger waves next time! Thanks again.

Deseree Mitchell, Boston, MA

Hey Geoff - Thank you for getting me up on the board . . . finally! Also, thank you for all the useful info . . . I look forward to seeing you again!

Kelly Buttenhoff, Jupiter, FL

Geoff, Just wanted to say thinks for everything . The surf lessons went great and the kids had a blast! They all were able to stand several times and I got some great pictures. Please thank Crystal for us. If we ever get the chance again I'm sure we will be contacting you.

Cathy Sloane, Danville, NH

Thanks for the follow up, I did learn a lot and Danny was a great teacher, I had a fantastic time out there and am hooked for good. Again thanks to you and Danny.

Pat Ward, West Palm Beach, FL

I have absolutely fallen head over heels for surfing. Anyway, Jason was incredibly patient and it was awesome to learn from him. I think I want to get in another month of training and then I'll get my second lesson.

Renata Camara, Boca Raton, FL

Just wanted to say a BIG THANKS for the awesome surf lesson you gave us (beginning of Aug)!!!! We all had an incredible day & really appreciate the superb job you did! We definitely have the surfing bug now!!!! We ended up coming back over to Cocoa Beach a couple days later & then last weekend took advantage of waves on our coast caused by Katrina. We really appreciate all the effort you put into our surf lesson to make it the highlight of the summer. And to even get Jacob in to try was the best! He (like everyone else) absolutely loves it! Thanks so much again! Stephanie, Zac & Jake Giparas and Anna Keegan.

Sherrie Giparas, St. Petersburg, FL

Ok, so i can't lift my arms to reach the keyboard b/c they feel like lead.....LOL..... but i wanted to let you know what a good job Sara did teaching us. I hope to buy my daughter her board this weekend, and we plan to get it form the place in Dania Beach she recommended to us. I 'am pretty sure i will want to take another lesson in about a month or so, so i hope i can sign up with her again. Thanks so much..... 46 year old single mom who is very happy she went surfing today.......

, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Had a great lesson with Ricky yesterday. Really great ...could not have imagined a better time. He was patient, knowledgeable, and had a sense of perspective and humor that made the day very relaxing and instructive (a difficult combination, but he pulled it off). Please tell him thank you for me - you have the right people working for you.

Joe Ryan, Orlando, FL

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Danielle and I loved our lesson with you! Thanks again.. for everything!

Becky Due, Miami Beach, FL

Ines and I definitely enjoyed our surfing lessons and Rickey was the best! On our second day we both managed to catch a wave completely by ourselves and to stand up (of which especially Ines is very proud). Oh and we went to the cottage pub the Friday night after our lesson with Rickey and had a fantastic time, so thanks to Rickey for that tip =) Whenever I get the chance to come back to Cocoa Beach I'll definitely take more surfing lessons with your school. Thank you very much.

Stefanie Kresse, Hamburg, Germany,

Emily had a GREAT time learning to surf! She actually rode quite a few waves. It was a beautiful day, and please pass our thanks to Jason also, he was so good with her.

Mary Ann Toll, Morristown, NJ

Hi Geoff, I had a great time. I would now like to go again in the "clinic" setting soon. Will be in touch!

Toye Brewer, Miami, FL

Hi Geoff. I had a great time at my lesson. It was a lot of fun. Please tell Jason thank you for me. He did a great job explaining things to me and telling me what I needed to change to do better. Thanks again.

Inga Giske, Manhattan, NY

Hello Geoff - I enjoyed the lesson very much and found it quite informative. You're doing a great job with the business. I'm thrilled to see someone with talent, intelligence and initiative reap the rewards of hard work. Good luck to you! Going forward, my plans are to get out on my (seemingly MUCH smaller) board so that I can at least paddle around, sit up, pop up, and maybe ride a bit. Then, when I have those basics accomplished, I'll want to schedule an private lesson. So I'll be in touch and thanks again!

Kimberly Bain, West Palm Beach, FL

Me and my friend Tomomi had a wonderfully time at your surfing clinic. It was well organized, fun, and confidence building. If you can teach me, a librarian, to surf, you can teach anyone. Thanks again to Darren, our encouraging, enthusiastic, professional instructor. I look forward to many years of surfing!

Eleanor Guldbeck, Miami, FL

Thank you so very much. My daughter had the time of her life. (Unfortunately, the video was erased but as she said, "that's okay, I lived it!") Thank you to Jason, who was wonderful...professional & patient. Your company is top notch and I will highly recommend it to our friends!

Suzanne Chaput, Kansas City, MO

Jason is a great instructor. I had an awesome time. Thanks so much!

Amy Benzinger, Coral Gables, FL

I just wanted to thank you for setting up my lesson so quickly...it was awesome! I had so much fun...Natalie was great! You can tell the program is well run...I just finished reading my manual and I'm about to go watch my video!! I will be back for more and recommend you to all my jealous friends who are wanting to surf with me now! Lots of luck and thanks again!

Amy Bowlin, Lakeland, FL

Geoff - I had a great time. John is an excellent teacher. He gave me a lot to work on!

Daniel Albert, Philadelphia, PA

We really enjoyed our lesson. Please feel free to have people call if you need a reference from first timers. Thanks again.

Gary Abramson, Newton, MA

Hey Geoff. Marc was great. My mother and I really enjoyed our time. Please tell Marc thank you (again).

Brian McNamara, Brooklyn, NY

I had a great time learning how to surf. I wish I could've stayed in Florida longer to practice....I'm completely addicted now :)

Rachel Zorfas, Philadelphia, PA

Geoff, We had a great surfing lesson in Miami Beach and Marc is a great surfing teacher. The waves were a perfect size which made for nice learning conditions! Again thanks!

Jane Thanner, Miami Beach, FL

Hi Geoff, Just a quick note to say that we had a blast! Marc was a wonderful instructor. He has great experience, customer skills and a great teacher. I was pleased to see that your surf school employs such extremely qualified individuals.

Corina Waters, Lewiston, ME

Thank you for taking me out. It would be great if you can help me pick out a board and take me out again to give me even more direction. Thanks for your patience. I had a lot of fun.

Wayne Tally, Minneapolis, MN

Hi Geoff, I had a really great time. Jason did a really good job explaining the surf conditions and how to read waves. It saved me a lot of time and energy, especially when I went for the really small ones. I'll be back next year to do the day lesson again.

Doyle Shea, Cincinnati, OH

I great time learning to surf with you in Juno Beach. You were patient, and most of all you were great at breaking things down into small steps. That is important to someone like me who takes a little longer to catch onto things. I will be back to Florida next spring and look forward to surfing with you again.

Shari Goldberg, Cherry Hill, NJ

Loved every minute of it and I would highly recommend Danny - he was great! I bought a board and hit the waves in Delray on Sat. It was a blast to be able to catch a few. Much thanks.

Terri Pakravan, Delray Beach, FL

Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. It was a great gift. Danny was focused, thoughtful and sooooo patient (which I am not)! He is a great teacher! As well, it was awesome to discover a new beach....with waves! I'm already frustrated by the fact that I'm back in the city and unable to practice!!! But, I will definitely look into a surf clinic and summer surf lessons, hopefully in June!

Rachel Upton, Naples, FL

We had a blast at our surf lesson and Danny was a great teacher. We will tell all our Florida-bound friends!!

Christine Keith, Garden City, NY

We had a great time! Seth was great. We were raving about how friendly and helpful he was. A real pleasure to work with.

Staci Sturrock, West Palm Beach, FL

Thanks Geoffrey, we enjoyed the lesson, Jason provided a great experience for the kids.

Craig Eckberg, Houston, TX

I did have very good sessions with Jason. I continued to surf everyday this week and finally seemed to have a breakthrough day (skill wise) today. The waves seemed most consistent this week about a half mile north of Juno Pier, so I spent most of my time there. In any case, thanks for all your advice and Jason's coaching. It was very helpful. Separately, I'm very interested in the September Costa Rica trip. Please keep me posted on availability. I'd like to come if I can get away from work that week. Does your trip start with a charter flight from south Florida.

Chris Malone, Newtown Square, PA

We really enjoyed the lesson. Jarin was a great teacher. I will surely recommend Florida Surf Lessons to any of my friends that would like to choose surfing. If I go surfing again, which I want to, I would definitely like a brush up from you guys. Thanks for everything.

Mark Ranek, Yankton, SD

Thanks. It was a great experience. Next step, get my own a surf board and practice.

Xavier Antoine, Miami Beach, FL

Hey Geoff, everything was great. Kevin's friend Jesse really enjoyed himself too. He is likely to be back for more since his grandparents live in Ft. Lauderdale full time. Thanks again and I'm betting there is a next time for Kevin.

Greg Dunn, Baltimore, MD

My name is Nellie Sisti and I recently had a lesson with Jason a couple weeks ago in Jupiter. It was awesome!! I had a blast and I definitely hope to pursue more waves in the future! My boyfriend really enjoyed it as well. For me, surfing seems most awesome because the satisfaction of getting up on a tiny wave is enough to keep me chasing them! Living in Boston now, I plan to move to warmer weather and when I do, I will be headed to the beach. Anyway's, to put in briefly it was really fun. Thanks!!!!

Nellie Sisti, Orlando, FL

Brian was a wonderful teacher. Depending on how the summer goes, I may be interested in your surf camp. This trip started off rocky with multiple plane issue and the whole lost luggage thing, but the lesson helped make up for it!

Emily Morgan, Ripley, TN

Thanks Geoff - Jarin was awesome! I had a really great time in Cocoa Beach and picked up some pointers that were very helpful. You guys are the best to work with, the experience was well worth it. Thanks again!

Lyn Hellar, Orlando, FL

Hi Geoff, Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for all your help. Tom and I had SO much fun at the lesson..it was a great end to our vacation. I also wanted to let you know how awesome Danny was. He was extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. He makes your company look even better than it already does! Tell him to keep it up. We'll definitely recommend you guys to anyone we know going to Florida. I think more surfing is in store for us once the snow goes away up here! Thanks again.

Melinda Boisvert, Boston, MA

Thank you for a wonderful experience. My daughter and friends had a great time learning to surf. Seth was excellent with the girls. He really worked hard that day. They had a awesome day. Hopefully we can schedule another lesson soon. Thanks again for such a wonderful day.

Maria Rombola, Shirley, NY

Seth was great! We learned so much. My friend, Erin was standing up by the end of the session. We had so much fun learning to surf in Miami Beach, we are buying boards this week. We raved about the experience the whole way home. You will being hearing from us in the future for another lesson! Also, I have a few other girlfriends that are now interested in it more than ever. I am going to pass your information on to them. So, you should be hearing from them soon! Thanks again.

Elena Barron, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

We had lots of fun and hope to do it again when we come to Florida. Megan said her favorite part of surfing was paddling out to the waves. I thought it was cool how fast you went. Thanks again!

Leslie Samuelrich, Wakefield, MA

Ian (Thomas) had a fantastic experience on Saturday--even if it was the coldest day of the year. He persevered for nearly the full four hours and came away wanting more--he's already shopping ads for used boards. Sara did a great job of encouraging him, and she said he managed to get to his feet a few times. Thanks for a great experience for Ian--I've already passed your company info on to a friend looking for some surfing in the area.

Barb Freda, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Thanks Geoff - We're seriously considering Costa Rica next time. Please tell Jason that my sons learned a lot and had a great time with him.

Diane Covan, Key West, FL

Hey Geoffrey - Thank you taking care of my family. They really enjoyed the time they spent with you learning to surf. The next time we are at the Four Seasons in Palm Beach (the only resort we ever stay at) we will certainly call you to do some more surfing.

Neil Armstrong, New York, NY

We had a great time surfing. For me it was one of the nicest things we did on our trip. Jason is an excellent instructor and we really enjoyed spending time with him. We all learned alot and are looking forward to trying some surfing here on the West Coast at Long Beach (Tofino), with wet suits, of course! We're certainly going to recommend your surf school (and Jason) to anyone we know who goes down to Florida. All the best, and say hello to Jason for all of us!

Robin Arnold, Vancouver, Canada,

I had a wonderful time. I just wish there was someplace around here I could continue taking lessons. Thanks again.

Heather Meier, Covington, WA

Geoff, what a great program you run. We had a great time with you. Hailey and I can't wait to go back in Florida. Thanks again and take care.

Bert Johnson, Stoneham, MA

Thanks again for getting me in on Saturday. I had a great time I'll be in touch when I'm headed back down in March, I'm sure my friends will want to give surfing a go. Thanks again!

Allen Krabill, Massillon, OH

Please thank Jason for the wonderful surf lesson! Jason is an amazing surf instructor. He was patient and understanding, qualities of a true professional. Thanks again. I will be back for more!

Deborah Knox, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Thanks so much. I had such a blast! I will surf this spring and summer and keep my hopes up for my 40th birthday trip to Costa Rica. I will keep in touch. Thanks again and great luck to you and your surf school.

Bill Keenan, New City, NY

What an amazing sensation surfing is. After the first wave I was hooked! I can't wait to come back down to South Florida and catch some more with you guys. As much as i enjoyed staying and surfing in Palm Beach I think I a going to try either Delray Beach or Jupiter next time. And everyone told me that there are no waves in Florida! After surfing them for myself I must disagree. Thanks again.

Allison Winters, Seattle, WA

I just wanted to thank you for the great surfing lessons this weekend. As always Jason was terrific and very accommodating.

Lorelei Guttman, New York, NY

I wanted to thank you for letting me do the one on one surf lesson with Seth last weekend! Please tell Seth and thank him for all his help. He was awesome! His patience and understanding were comforting and definitely gave me the confidence to get up later in the week. Thanks again for everything!!

Christine Brooks, Boston, MA

Jason was awesome and I had a great time. I look forward to looking you all up again next time I’m in Miami. All my best for great holidays, and please give my best and thanks again to Jason!

PJ Simmons, Washington, DC

Mike had a great time learning to surf in Palm Beach! The last day he surfed he realized he needed more lessons and how hard it was to keep paddling (I guess you guys made it easy when you held his board LOL). I really appreciate you being so kind and helpful to him and making one of his dreams a reality. It will be something he always remembers! Thanks for the picture and have a great year! We WILL BE BACK.

Jill and Mike Nervy, Cordova, TN

You guys are the best! Thanks for an incredible surfing experience. I am already busy making plans for my return in about 10 weeks. I will definitely call on you again. Til then.

Val Kantemir, New Britain, CT

We just returned from our Florida trip. Surfing lessons were the highlight of the trip for the girls. I am grateful that you were able to accommodate our change in schedule. We will definitely return for refresher lessons on our next trip to Florida. Again, many thanks.

Dawn Fulgrum, Boerne, TX

I had a great time at my surf lesson and improved my ability to read the waves and pick the right one. Brett is a good teacher. Thanks again.

Betsy Hunt, Fairfield, IA

Jason did great and when we come back we’ll definitely get more instruction. My kids really like the surfing experience. The beach he chose this year was also a great great choice. Take it easy…..no actually take it any way you can get it!

Mike Slotky, Evanston, IL

I had a great time. I now have plenty to work on. When I get better I'll stop by for another tune up. Thanks for all the help!

Lars Anderson, Sammamish, WA

Its Sebastian from Canada, I just want to let you know that I really LOVED...my surf experience. Ii really enjoyed learning from Sarah. She is really nice and I will ask again for her the next time. Now I really hope I can come back to Florida soon. and I will love to do a camp this time.. and I will buy a board. Thanks again.

, Quebec, Canada,

Please thank Jason for the fabulous surfing lessons in Miami! I had an amazing time. Surfing in Miami was a fun (Jason said the place was called Harbor House of something?) and then surfing in South Beach was fun also! You guys are the best! Thanks again.

Natalie Davis, Naples, FL

Thank you - I had a very enjoyable lesson with Darren and I currently am in the midst of reading the manual. I intend on practicing and then getting back to you when I am ready to learn more.

Kirsten Braaten, Boynton Beach, FL

I had a blast surfing and I can't wait to do it again, and I know Sarah loved it too. Along with having Jason that was just another plus. I am planning to come back for Easter and I would love to surf again especially through you and Jason. Thanks so much for everything!

Miranda Phillips, Dearborn Heights, MI

We had a wonderful time with our first surfing lesson. It was a great family activity that we look forward to doing again. Jason was awesome. We hope his sting healed quickly and that he had a fantastic vacation. We hope to take lessons from you guys again. Thank you for such a exciting, memorable experience.

Raeanne Niemer, Jenison, MO

I wanted to let you know i had a great time at our lessons! We had so much fun. Thank you very much and I am sure you will be hearing from us soon for more lessons. Thanks again!

Amanda Sniscak, Jupiter, FL

Geoff thank you so much for a wonderful surf lesson. I had a great time learning to surf. After my surf lesson with you I went into the Juno Surf Shop to look at surf boards. I think I am going to buy one because I can't wait to surf again. Thanks again and plan on hearing from me in the future for some follow up lessons!

Silvia Bartok, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Just wanted to let you know that Roe and I had a FABULOUS time! This was exactly what we were looking for, and it was a weekend I won’t forget for a long time. Your team is truly world-class; they are caring, nurturing, talented, and patient (I think Franck got the workout of his life with me on Sunday!). Thank you so much for your all your help as well. Florida is so close to NYC, I’ll be down again in no time and I will be sure to grab another lesson.

Laina Seplow, New York, NY

Hello Geoff, I can't think of enough nice things to say about Darren! He is a great instructor and can he ever surf too! Darren mentioned the Quicksilver Store in Miami Beach as a good place to get surfer clothes, so I am going to give that shop a visit. Thank you and Darren for the wonderful time!

Victoria Roberts, Beverly Hills, CA

Hi Geoff: Thank you in return for a great time. We all enjoyed it immensely, although if I hear you weren't suppose to look at your board one more time, oh well had a super time any ways. You run a great business and we certainly passed the information on to other people at the hotel. Thanks again!

Cindy Slongo, Thunder Bay, Canada,

I really had a great time surfing! Darren is a great teacher. He taught me well. In fact, everything that he taught me I applied it and got right up on the surf board. I am looking forward to taking a few more lessons with Darren and I would like to surf with him in the future.

Steven Schlecht, Miami, FL

Please tell Marc how very much we enjoyed the day. We were so impressed with the beach front at the Raddison. They were so nice to us. We rented a cabana and just spent the day. There were only a few on the beach most of the day. We pretty much felt like we had it all to ourselves. After the surfing lesson Marc left and we did a little snorkeling, playing in the ocean and burying Joel in the Sand. Grandma and grandpa had fun watching the sand crabs bringing sand out of their holes. It was my favorite day. Thanks!

Teresa Whitmer, West Valley City, UT

Geoff - Jason is a great instructor. He met us for our surfing lesson in Miami Beach, and then proceeded to show my family and I the ropes. My daughter was the first to catch a wave and stand up and then shortly the rest of us followed. I can now see how you guys dedicate your lives to this fantastic sport. The next time we are in Miami Beach we certainly be contacting you for some more. Thanks again, and please thank Jason.

David Schwartz, New York, NY

I just wanted to thank you for the great surf clinic you and your instructors put on in Ft. Pierce. I really had a great time. Hopefully I'll see you and the other instructors again soon.

Sophie Alriksson, Miami Beach, FL

Geoff, I had a fantastic time, and loved meeting you all. I only wish I could come back more often!

Helen Payne, London, England,

The birthday surf lesson was great. Marc did a fine job of instructing, just the right combination of learning and fun. Thanks very much.

Christine Leutert, Naples, FL

I had an absolutely fabulous time; Jason was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. I will definitely be back next time I am in Florida!!

Jennifer Meriwether, Lexington, KY

I'd like you to know that Jason did a wonderful job with pre-surfing instruction, helping each one of us have fun and be successful in the water, and sharing lots of tips for continuing in the sport. We loved the magazine gifts and instructional materials you sent for us (our kids read them after the lesson and on the flight home today--also, my son picked up the Kelly Slater PS II game and is talking a lot about how he can get to Hampton to surf). I would also would like to mention that Jason really spoke with authority about the sport of surfing and was really 'into' helping us learn (he really seemed to enjoy himself at the beach with us--this is really huge--he didn't seem to be going through the motions). Thank you and Jason for making our surfing day the most enjoyable of our vacation.

Dennis Dobe, Hopkinton, NH

Hey there--Just wanted to say thanks! So glad I came across you guys, I have always wanted to surf and now I am so hooked. I will be back in Florida very soon, and will be booking in. Marc was an excellent instructor, very patient, very nice. My body aches in places that I never thought possible and I have some bumps and bruises but it was SO worth it!

Kate Groves, New York, NY

Hi Geoff, The lessons were great. I have been telling everyone and have already recommended you guys to a few people. Marc was terrific - great with the kids, the adults and even that boob on the beach from Ft. Pierce - I couldn't imagine a better teacher for us. I'm ready to buy some boards and hit the surf in NJ this summer. Thanks for everything.

Dean Jerrehian, Philadelphia, PA

Dear Geoffrey, a real pleasure to be a client of your company. It is in your attitude on the phone and in person from John. You guys are terrific!

Flavio Gattinoni, Ft. Myers, FL

Hi! I just wanted to thank you again. It was really a great experience and I would recommend you guys hands down to anybody. Thank you very much for making this a very memorable birthday for Raul. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you again.

Gaby Arguello, North Miami Beach, FL

John was a patient, kind, and enthusiastic instructor, and I felt I learned a lot in just one lesson. Please thank John for me, and I hope to return next year to take another lesson from him as I want to continue to try the sport.!

Beth Boyett, Nashville, TN

Hi Geoffrey - We just got home from Florida today. The trip was great and the lesson was the highlight for me. I learned a ton from Jason and we focused on exactly what I needed, which was remedial help in popping up. I have developed some bad habits and weak muscles that a longboard let me get away with. The booklet and magazines are great reference material. Jason also gave me some exercise advice to help with specific strength issues. Thanks and I would recommend your outfit to anyone. Also-if you do mass emailing's about upcoming clinics please include me.!

Sarah Gardner, Nags Head, NC

Mike and I thoroughly enjoyed our surf lesson with Marc. If we are lucky enough to be in Florida again anytime soon we will certainly be setting up another surf lesson. Tell Marc our sincere thanks for his fabulous instruction. We had a great time!

Jane and Mike Dempsey, Ottawa, Canada,

The girls had a great time. Jason was great, the girls were really nervous on the way there, but he was really nice and they enjoyed learning with him. Tell him we said thanks!

Rene Coffey, Royal Oak, MI

Thanks for everything. Thank Jason for me too! Now I am definitely going to hit the waves every chance I get!

Azrai Ahmad, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

Hi! Thanks so much! Amy and I did have a blast learning to surf with John. Thank you very much.

Jenny Azima, Miami Beach, FL

Thanks Geoff! - the guys all had a good time. We will contact you all next time we are in S. Fla!

Phil Shiff, Bethesday, MD

Tim, Carolyn and I all had a good time and definitely hope to be hitting the waves again. When we make it back to Florida I'll be sure to look you up for a refresher course. Cheers.

Robert Baldry, Philadelphia, PA

Hi Geoff - Jeremy had a wonderful time with you. He felt he was working on what he most needed to work on--catching a wave. Liz and I also enjoyed our time at the beaches you took us to. Next time we have a vacation to Florida, I expect we will contact you again.

Bob Putnam, Newton, MA

Hello everyone, my daughter had a blast! She has already bought a rash guard and plans to surf this week. Thanks!

Susan Cole, Marshfield, WI

Thanks so much Geoffrey. We are back in Colorado as of last night and I have some awesome photos from that day. Thanks again...it was the highlight of our vacation. Tell Natalie that she was great

Pam McKee, Rifle, CO

Thanks for an excellent time in Ft. Pierce. Me and my friends had a great great time learning to surf with Jason. We are going to come back and do it again. I was a little regretful that I could not meet you, but when I visit Florida next time, I will visit you. Thanks again, and stay touch!

Noritaka Mochida, Kyushu, Japan,

The lesson was great! Jason is a quality person-- extremely knowledgeable, receptive to other people's ideas, practices his integrity, and would make a good friend in the water and on the beach. I hope to reconnect with him soon. Thank again.

Scott Nelson, Rexford, NY

Thanks, Geoff. The pictures turned out well. Thanks for the lesson and the awesome memories. Please keep me on your email list!

Catherine Weicker, Boston, MA

Geoff, I appreciate the time you put in to teach me how to surf, i had a blast. I also wanted to thank you for making me feel comfortable doing it and just talking with you. I will be back sometime in October and i will contact you sometime to make an appointment for another lesson so i will see you then. Once again thank you so very much.

Kerilyn Prows, Saratoga Springs, UT

I had such a great time surfing. I am in the midst of recruiting more people. Darren is an excellent instructor. Thank you (and Darren) for accommodating me at the lesson. I am looking forward to getting out there again!

Heather Morton, Miami Beach, FL

Thanks Geoff - We had a great time at our lesson. Marc comes from the same city as me in Brazil and he knows my brother. Thanks again.

Fernando Lobo, Lantana, FL

Hey Geoff - Kimmie and I had a lot of fun. I am glad we did it. It gave me a nice basis, now I just need to get out and practice! Can't wait.

Rachel Wood, Boca Raton, FL

Natalie did a great job introducing me to the world of surfing. She's very nice and very patient! Thanks again.

Anahid Derbabian, Birmingham, MI

I did had a great time. The waves were big (for Florida), but I wouldn't want a flat day. Jason did a great job!!

Derek Schneidt, Wentzville, MO

Thanks Geoff --I had a great time on Saturday and Darren was an excellent instructor!

Scott Sandberg, Denver, CO

Hey Geoff! Thanks so much! It was very nice meeting you. Jason is an awesome teacher! I had a blast surfing.

Kathleen Mil, Laurel, MD

I just wanted to say thanks a lot for everything and I wanted to say that Jason was great!! He was very patient and a great instructor and you can tell he loves what he does. We had a lot of fun learning how to surf and I hope we are able to go to Florida again and take another lesson from you. Thanks again for everything, I am definitely recommending you guys to other people who want to learn how to surf!

Brandie Hagert, Emerado, ND

Thank You!!! I had a really great time! I’m totally excited about getting better!

Lizzie Gilroy, Boca Raton, FL

Hi Geoff - We had a BLAST! It was probably the best day out of the week for me. Thanks so much

Debbie Cerami, Sayville, NY

Katie and Peter Stephens, Bloomfield Village, MI

Thanks a lot. My kids had a great time. Your instructors were wonderful.

Eric Fry, Pound Ridge, NY

Thanks so much for your time on Thursday. I had a great time. I am completely stoked now and excited about surfing! I can't wait to find a board and get back out there. You did a great job teaching me how to watch and get a feel for the waves! Thanks again!

Josh Miller, West Palm Beach, FL

Hey Geoff I had an amazing lesson and i wanted to thank you for a great day. Jason was a great instructer and a real quality guy!

Mike George, Bellmore, NY

Please thank Jason for the wonderful surf lesson! Jason is an amazing surf instructor. He was patient and understanding, qualities of a true professional. Thanks again. I will be back for more!

Deborah Knox, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Just wanted to say thanks to you. It’s refreshing to have an informative lesson and deal w/someone so professional!

Bob Leonardi, Erie, PA

Hay there! thanks so much for everything! the photos are pretty cool, and i had an absolute BLAST that day! i really dig the gift bag too! lots of really sweet things in there! I'll be sure to spread the word!!

Michele Medor, Venice Beach, CA

Lisa and Danielle had a great time at the surfing lesson. It is something they will always remember. Later in the week, they rented a board and tried to surf on their own. The waters were rough but they each stood up about 3 times, after many tries, but they were happy. We also attended the National Scholastic Surfing Association Championship Surf Contest at Sebastian because they are so interested in it. So, thank you and Jason. I'm glad I found your business and we'll definitely use it again in the future. Thanks again.

Jean Arnett, Livonia, MI

It was a great time. It took me 2 sessions to get some of my timing back, but well worth it. By the 4 session I was beat tired but kept the flow going for a short right that turned into a long left. If you folks are traveling up North call me. I will hook you up at some secret spots. Also plenty of interesting sights for the wife while you getting wet.

David Benjamin, Weatogue, CT

I had a fabulous time with Marc; he is a wonderful instructor. I told all of my friends and my husband what a great time I had. It would be so much fun if I could arrange for a group of my friends to come down to Florida for a vacation and some surf lessons - I will keep you posted! Please give my regards to Marc and Natalie (she helped coordinate the lesson); you have wonderful people working with you.

Jill Garvey, Huntington Woods, MI

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wanted to take a minute to thank Marc and all of the people at Florida Surf Lessons for a great lesson. Since I am originally from the midwest, I never gave surfing much thought. After one lesson (and a beautiful day in the water), I am looking forward to my next trip. I have attached a couple of photos taken during my lesson for your wall of fame. Thanks again.

Mike Howard, Tampa, FL

Thanks Geoff - I had a great time. Jason was a really thorough instructor and it was a lot of fun.

Lori Enloe, St. Louis, MO

Geoffrey, It was a real blast...my daughters really enjoyed it and I am sure they will brag about it when they get back to their school in Toledo! I plan to send you a disk with pictures from that day. Darren and "Zeo" were great and very courteous and very professional, a real pleasure to be around. I am considering making this an annual event for me and my family!

Keith Koby, Sylvania, OH

HELLO, MY SON NICK HAD A GREAT TIME WITH JASON. JASON REALLY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING WELL. HE WILL BE READY TO HIT THE WAVES IN MAUII. THANKS AGAIN!

Stephanie Grass, Excelsior Springs, MO

Zane had a blast ...truly a dream come true and Darren was great!

Ian MacFarlane, Baltimore, MD

My daughter, Sasha, has just returned from Florida. She and my sister cannot say enough good about Jason. Not only was he a great instructor, he was very personable and very knowledgeable about more then just surfing. They both enjoyed meeting him. My sister said you couldn't have sent a better person to instruct my daughter. Sasha is already planning to return and take another surf lesson.

Betty Gregovich, North Olhmsted, NH

Hi Geoff - Natalie is an excellent teacher. We really had a great time with her. Natalie mentioned that your business only covers Florida. Should you want to expand your business to the California area, please do not hesitate to contact me. You not only gained a new client, but a new contact in CA.

Rodrigo and Astrid Giraldo, Huntington Beach, CA

I so wish I could come back to Florida again! Our surf instructor rocked! Thanks John! You totally turned an Iowa Girl Art Teacher into a Surfer Chick! hahaha! Maybe next summer! Good times!

Jen Leiknes, Cedar Rapids, IA

I had a great time. I'm so glad that I hooked up with you guys. I never knew that there were waves in Florida but after spending a day with Dave I learned otherwise. If any of your guys are ever in California and want someone to surf with then I'm your guy. Thanks again and I'm definitely looking forward to some more Florida surfing with your surf school in the near future!

Cole Hendricks, San Diego, CA

He really did enjoy it! He was very tired for the rest of the day!! John was great. I'll have to try with him next time!

Bonnie Norris, Stuart, FL

My wife and I had a great time surfing with you and Jarin this weekend. The instruction was both easy to follow and spot on. The atmosphere was as laid back and a pleasure to be a part of. I will highly recommend to anyone that is interested in surfing to check out your surf school. Until next time my friend,.

Aubrey Willis, Long Island, NY

Thanks John for being so flexible with our group. I figured out why you couldn't get through to us on the phone..I gave you my home number in San Fran. I think I am the last person who doesn't have a cellie. It was a blast and the pictures attach should prove it.

Reece Carter, San Francisco, CA

I wanted to let you know, that my sons and I had a great time with Dave! He was a great instructor! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We'll be back in Florida in the spring, and hopefully be able to catch up with you guys then!

Melissa Himmel, Highland Heights, OH

I had a great time. Glad I found your surf school. John was a good guy, and very helpful. Surfing has been a life-long dream for me. Thanks for helping me get started.

Shane Close, Miami, FL

Thanks for the experience. Surfing in Florida has been on my to do list for years and you guys made it happen. If I ever run into anyone who needs to know where they can find the best surf school in Florida, I'll be sure to send them your way.

Bard Rayford, Cherry Hill, NJ

Many thanks for your willingness to be flexible and reschedule when my son was sick. Both boys had a blast, and can't wait to get back! Thanks again, and a special thanks to Dave!!

Kathryn Longley-Leahy, Bangor, ME

Atta Boy to Dave on the time he spent with my grand daughter. She had such good stories to tell her friends in Houston.

Tom Power, North Palm Beach, FL

We had a great time in Florida surfing and please let Jarin know he is a fabulous instructor! Thank you!

Carla and Tom De Kock, Toronto, Canada,

Thanks Geoffrey - John was fantastic - very patient. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Liz Thompson, Chicago, IL

Back in new york...thinking fondly of my lesson...can't wait for summer to do it it all again!!! Juan was great! Thank you.

Kimberly Slayton, New York, NY

John was a wonderful surf instructor. He was very understanding, patient and professional. It was a great experience. Thank you.

Louise Riddle, Somers, NY

Just a short note to say what a great time I had surfing on 2/3. My instructor David was professional, great motivator and excellent ambassador for Florida Surf lessons. I can’t wait to get out again to catch some more tasty waves.

Skip Gonet, Port St. Lucie, FL

Jarin was the perfect teacher for me. I felt comfortable right away with him. It felt like he was one of my guy friends. I trusted him right away. I was able to grow greatly in my abilities that first day. Unfortunately, I got sick during my time in Florida and so my second lesson was not as productive. He was able to adjust and still got me out in the ocean. I can't wait to go back. Thank you so much for teachers like Jarin

Jen Rivera, Apple Valley, MN

Geoff, Thanks for the great "Boca Raton" surf lesson, lol. To be honest, I seriously did not think that there were waves in Florida but as the lesson proved, there are actually waves to be found. My kids and I had a terrific time. I also want to thank you for the tips on things to do in Boca Raton. We visited the Gumbo Limbo research center like you suggested and it was great. Next time we are back in Florida we will be contacting you. Surfs up!

Taylor Adams, Vail, CO

Thanks! I enjoyed the lesson and will call some time for another one.

Robert Walden, Coral Springs, FL

Dave was very helpful and patient with us. We are both definitely "stoked". Thanks again.

Perry Williams, North Canton, OH

My kids and I had a great time last weekend at your clinic. I thought it was well run and David and Juan did a great job.

John Gagnon, Reading, MA

I just wanted you to know what a great time my son, Caleb Goering, and his cousin had at their surfing lesson earlier this month. Their instructor, Jarin, was awesome - a very kind young man. Thanks so much for a great time for the boys.

Leane Goering, Salem, IN

I had a really great time. totally got my butt kicked and am feeling it today, but a good sorta pain:) just wanted to let you know that John was great, very professional and super sweet, he did a great job! thanks.

Elizabeth Lang, Naples, FL

Jarin was great!! The girls had a blast We'll be moving to the area in June, I'm sure they'll want to continue with some more lessons, we'll see you then!

Diane Garney, Anchorage, AK

Geoff - some photos for you.....Especially like the one of John and Alex walking toward the ocean....good promo shot :) See you again soon, too bad you don't have a sleep away camp, think Alex would spend the summer down with you :) best regards and see you again when in Florida.

Linda Robbins, New York, NY

I had a great time too. Dave is an excellent instructor-very patient and (as you well know) a great guy! Please thank him again for me. Actually if you could send me his email address I could thank him myself. Lori (my wife) and I are very interested in the Costa Rica trip that you are offering in June.

Christopher Braun, Toronto, Canada,

Hey thanks I had a blast! I'll be down in Boca Raton again soon and you guys can turn me into a pro ha ha!

Corrine Wainer, Hartford, CT

Yes it was great! Dave was very cool. I think my Mother-In-Law wants to try it now.

Keith Lorigan, Plantation, FL

Howie and I had a blast. Can't wait to get out there again.

Shauna Kranendonk, Jupiter, FL

Mike and I had a great time surfing with you. Thanks for recommending Boca Raton Resort. That hotel was the perfect pick for us! Now we are looking forward to surfing Hawaii. We'll be there next month and can't wait to try some of the tips you gave us.

Laura William, Charleston, SC

hat day started off overcast with no wind, but worked out great after all. 4 straight hours was exhausting...you guys make surfing look easy. But I was pleased to stand up even if briefly. Brian, Danny and John provided individualized yet consistent instruction. I thank you all for your attention.

Marie Palka, Chicago, IL

What a great time we had learning to surf from you. Geoff you truly are a master of your craft. The next time we are in Jupiter and want surf lessons we now know who to call. Thanks again. Oah, and before I forget - thank you for referring us to the Juno Surf Shop, Andy helped my daughter pick out the surfboard that was right for her. Getting the surfboard home was a whole other story! Well anyway's she can't wait to try it out.

Dave Thomas, Hampton, NH

Thank you so much for providing such a great surfing school. I had so much fun working with Rick as well. He was a great instructor and really taught me a lot about surfing. I bought my own board after the clinic so I can practice more at home. Maybe I'll catch you surfing again someday =) Thanks again.

Nicole Donohue, Orlando, FL

What fun we had! Brian, Danny and John were all great, I learned a lot and was even able to stand up a few times! Thanks so much for a great experience, maybe we will be back someday.

Lauren Giurato, Chicago, IL

Jarin is a very good teacher. Had a great surfing lesson. He got me right up and "pulled" into some of the waves. I since bought a board 9'0 Colbalt epoxy and I've been researching the hell out of the sport. We went back to Cocoa Beach for a day trip and I surfed all day! I now have some contacts here on the west coast and we are just waiting for a tropical system to enter the gulf. Thanks again and I will be hopefully joining you guys in Costa Rica within the next couple of years.

Anthony Pipino, Pinellas Park, FL

Surfing is so much fun. I only wish I lived closer to the ocean. Every year my family visits Jupiter so you can now bet that we will be adding surf lessons to our list of "must do" activities when we are down. Looking forward to our next surfing lesson with you. Thanks again Geoff.

Tara Fitzgerald, Denver, CO

It was very special for my sister and me. Jon was great. She and her daughter are back in England and me and my 5 are back in D. C. Thank Jon for me . He was great.

Marie Dobyns, Baltimore, MD

Thanks! Andrew had a great time as you can see from the photos! He thinks we should go to Hawaii for our next family vacation so he can surf there!

Michelle Butt, Tampa, FL

We had an absolute blast! We'll be back for another lesson before long......it was great, and Jarin was terrific. This 54-year body actually got up for the first time within 90 minutes!.

Mark and Cheryl Kanak, St. Petersburg, FL

Jarin did a great job. The kids loved it and would like to do a whole week next summer!

Barbara Notardonato-Cole, Cleveland, OH

Thanks a bunch Geoff. I had a blast. David and Brett were excellent teachers. I was just looking at the Costa Rico trip and would like to go maybe sometime next year. As the information comes out can you send it to me? Thanks. I hope to maybe see you all in December for some lessons or next year. I'm getting ready to place my order for a t-shirt so hurry up and send it to me. Later dude.

Aaron Windham, Denver, CO

Had a great time at my lesson. I stopped by the Juno Surf Shop, and got hooked up with a board so you will be hearing from me soon for some more lessons.

Carlos Reyes, Tequesta, FL

Thank you very much. My son and I had a GREAT time. It definitely re-kindled my need to surf. We will be buying boards so and will see you all at the shore. I have recommended your business to many of my co-workers who have shown an interest. Again, thank you and Jarin very, very much.

Charles Johnson, Mount Dora, FL

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed my lesson. Danny is a fantastic teacher. He is definitely an asset – professional, patient, and made me feel comfortable learning for the first time. I cant wait to get back down and have a refresher. You will be hearing from me again.

Melissa Hannan, Glenn Allen, VA

It was great. Dave was a great teacher. I'll you guys a call next time I'm down and ready for Sebastian Inlet.

Kevin O'Mara, New York, NY

We had a great time at surf camp. You run a great business. Brett and David are excellent instructors with a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge. I will recommend your company to anyone that I know that is interested in learning to surf. I'm sure we will go back to Cocoa Beach next summer and I will look you up. Thanks again, surf camp was a blast.

Stuart Zion, Arvada, CO

I had a blast! Danny was a great instructor. He was a lot of fun. Thanks so much. I will recommend this company to others.

Johanna Hopper, Miami, FL

I just got back to Georgia the night before last (Sunday) ... My husband, Mark, was sure glad to have me home ... Thanks for calling to check on me and leaving the nice message. I enjoyed putting the "last night get together" on. I had a wonderful time on the trip to Costa Rica. Thanks for all your hard work that went in to making it happen. And also thanks To Brad and Seth for all their help. I would like to join you again on the September trip but may have to wait until next Spring. We're going to be moving shortly so there is a lot going on. I will wait and see what happens in the next few weeks. Thanks Again to you and to Brad and Seth. It was an awesome trip.

Cheryl Brent, Atlanta, GA

I really enjoy learning to surf in Cocoa Beach with Jarin. Everyone at the Best Western was great too. That summer camp you had running looked fun, maybe join u guys next Summer! Thank Jarin again for the lesson and see you in the water!

Allison Kent, Las Vegas, NV

We had a great time at surf camp Cocoa Beach. . . lots of stories and bruises and wipe outs. . . but wouldn't have it any other way!! Great to meet you. . . and maybe we'll see ya in Costa Rica. :)

Christina Brito, Washington, DC

Dylan, Ashley & Josh absolutely loved the surf camp and are begging me to let them do another one. The kids said it was the best camp they have ever been to. I was very impressed with both Dave and Brett’s ability to relate to the kids and work at them at their individual pace while making sure everyone was having a great time. They were a big hit with the kids. We will definitely be back with friends next time. It is the talk of our neighborhood right now and I would absolutely recommend you surf camp to anyone!

Vedrana Haikonen, Tampa, FL

I wanted to say thank you to you and your instructors David and Brett were great and my daughter had a wonderful time.

David Wolf, Lake Mary, FL

Thanks Geoffrey, we enjoyed the lesson, Jason provided a great experience for the kids.

Craig Eckberg, Houston, TX

I had a great time also. As I told you Brett was excellent, very professional, and was able to answer all of our questions. I have recommenced your company to a couple of people. I will let you know about surf camp in July, although if I do attend it would only be for 2 or 3 days. Don't forget to think of me when you are ordering 9' boards. Jen (one of the women in surf camp last week) and I are going to meet up at Cocoa beach Saturday for some surfing.

Yaira Reyes, Orlando, FL

Just wanted to tell you again how great my lesson was...didn't have much time to tell you before on the phone. Jason is a wonderful teacher...I felt very comfortable and safe with him and he helped me out a tremendous amount. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything. I'm definitely buying a board soon and hopefully take another lesson! Thanks again you guys rock..

Rachel Xavier, Boca Raton, FL

Thanks for the note. Brian was a great instructor. Having been in sales and training for nearly 20 years, I feel confident saying that if Brian ever decides to pursue a career in training (regardless of the field) he will be very successful. I have a book that I had promised to send Brian. Can I send that to you and have you forward that to him? Thanks for helping one of my personal dreams happen (and hopefully I can make the Costa Rica trip soon).

Jeff Bedard, Ontario, Canada,

It's Estefania I took the surf clinic on Saturday. I just wanted to write and congratulate you for having such an amazing company not only where Danny and Jason great professional teachers but also very nice and helpful! Thank You for everything I definitely learned a lot. Hope to be taking additional lessons with you guys.

Estefania Montalvo, Mirimar, FL

Just wanted to say thanks. I had a great time. Even caught a few decent rides. Can't wait to get a board and get out there. Jason was a great teacher. Thanks again!

Dave Lieberman, New York, NY

I had a great time and I learned some basic skills. Actually rode a wave diagonally for a while and it felt great! Brett was great and David a fantastic instructor. I really wish we could have seen them surf on some larger waves. It's probably hard for them to go at such a slow pace with us when they have real surfing skills. I'm sorry I missed you on Friday Geoff. My poor legs were scorched pretty badly, and my head too, and I just couldn't face another day in the sun. Such a bummer because I was slathering SPF 30 on quite often. Next time I'll just have to put it on even more often. Yes, Costa Rica is calling. I spoke with my brother and he wants in too, but I'm not sure if he wants to surf. Sept. is the perfect time. I'll get back to you very soon and we can make the arrangements. Thanks for all the fun, professional training, and companionship dude! It was a blast!!!

Doug Tombow, Bercksville, OH

I just wanted to say how great it was working with Danny. He was patient informative and genuinely cared about our progress. Thanks to him, my daughter and I are much, much better than we were.

Steve Rosso, Yardley, PA

Geoff, Thank you so much for the wonderful surfing lesson. You are too patient and I got to say that you listen more then any teacher I have ever had in the past. I feel more comfortable in the ocean and I am grateful to you for helping me. Surfing is such a joy! Now I am looking forward to more surfing in Miami and even becoming a Miami Beach surf local! Thanks again!

Rebekah Miller, Miami Beach, FL

I just wanted to let you know how wonderful our surf lesson was. Marc is excellent! We highly recommend Florida Surf Lessons to anyone.

Lisa and Sara Bowen, Wadsworth, OH

Thanks again for the awesome surf classes. We had a great day. And we will definitely try to be there on the 13th. We look forward to it !! I have the day off and may try to hit the waves at Indialantic today. We'll see what the sky and surf report says. But as for right now, it's looking pretty clear outside. Thanks again for the great conversation and awesome class. See you soon!

Kimberly Krueger, Melbourne, FL

Geoff - Thanks for the photo and yes we absolutely had a great time! Mae already has asked if we can surf again; she's all ready to give it another try. (Let us know if our photo makes The Wall of Fame so we can tell Mae.) The experience left a good impression on the entire family. You're a fine ambassador for the sport and we were all comfortable with your instruction. It really was fun -- wish we had an extra week to stick around as the weather warmed up again -- but we did plenty of swimming all week long, that's for sure. Next time we're there, we'll call. I can't wait to try again!

Larry Berglas, White Plains, NY

Hello - Natalie was our kids' instructor on Saturday. She was great and they worked really hard. We are coming back in Nov. and will be sure to look you guys up!

Katie Innis, White Hall, MD

Geoffrey, I wanted to thank you so much for fitting me in for a lesson on Friday. John was great, you weren't joking when you said that he is an amazing surf instructor. Not only was he 100% professional and very knowledgeable about surfing, he was also a very cool and great guy. I had an amazing time and I am so glad I was able to pick it up. I look forward to speaking with you soon, I will be back down in South Beach in March so I might even sign up for another lesson (with John if possible). Thanks again and I wish you continued success.

Michael Lee, New York, NY

We had a great time surfing and both instructors were very good. It was fun to have such good surfers to go out with each day!

Shaun Gogerty, Colorado City, CO

I had a great time at the surf clinic and you guys did a great job putting it on. Thanks for the pictures and the afternoon.

Andy Feldman, Bay Harbor Isles, FL

Thank you so much for the pictures. They are great! I really want to thank you and your company for such a terrific job in setting up the surfing lessons for Alyssa. Your professionalism, including the scheduling of the surf lesson, the lesson, itself, and your follow-up with us was outstanding. The instruction was thorough but personal and, most of all, loads of fun for my daughter. Needless to say, even though she is a beginner, she is now "hooked" on surfing. I can't praise you enough for the great job that you do. We really want to be able to make plans to use Florida Surf Lessons again, in the future. Congratulations to you for providing such a wonderful experience to your clients.

Lois and Alyssa Winchell, Denver, CO

Hi Geoff - Jake really enjoyed his surfing lesson, and we enjoyed watching him learn. I believe he has already told a friend about you. He highly recommend you. Take care and happy surfing.

Joyce Berk, Miami Beach, FL

Marc is a great surf instructor. He couldn't have been any better. He was very patient and enthusiastic - and even though the waves that day weren't huge his positive attitude and efforts made it more than worthwhile!

Michael Blackburn, Los Angeles, CA

Hi Geoff - Jeremy had a great time learning to surf with Marc. He was sooo excited when he got finished, but more tired than anything. Thanks for setting everything up for him. We had a wonderful day and I really appreciate it.

Rachel Leonard, Gainsville, FL

Hi Geoffrey I just wanted to say that I had a great time and thanks for the picture!

Ingars Lasis, Riga, Latvia,

Hi - Adam had a wonderful time learning to surf and Marc was great. His dad and I loved watching them, we took many photos and videos. We were so pleased and it was definitely the highlight of our trip to Florida. Adam is a waterskiier and loves to Jump doing flips, he does doubles with his partner and last summer was involved in a world record 8 people around the boat (1 was female). Learning to surf was the one thing he wanted to do when we visited our son Marc in Florida. This experience was well worth it. Thank You so much !

Marsha Place, Bettendorf, IA

Thanks for being so accommodating. You guys really have it together. I had an awesome time surfing and Jason was a perfect instructor. Tell him I said thanks again. Hopefully I'll see you guys soon for phase two!

Chris Burt, Burr Ridge, IL

Hello Geoff - Thanks very much. We had a wonderful time surfing with Jason. He was great! Ryan already bought a surf board. I cant believe it but that is definitely a good thing. Jason took some nice pictures with my waterproof camera and I will scan them in once I get them developed and email them to you. Once again, thanks!

Melissa Cornet, Miami Beach, FL

I had a blast at my surf lesson with Natalie...I got some great tips and I am hooked now thanks to her! Please pass on my thanks to Natalie as well...I had a terrific time!

Chris Whiteman, Newtown Square, PA

I am thoroughly impressed with your surf program as well as staff. Natalie was professional, kind and compassionate. I look forward to the clinic in March. Thank you again for such a great surfing lesson experience!

MaryJo McPhail, Jupiter, FL

Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity! I had a great time with John! Please tell him that I was very fortunate to have him as an instructor!

Yuki Inoue, Towson, MD

Thanks for a wonderful Sunday morning. The day was great and so were the waves and Jason. I had an excellent 1st lesson and would like to congratulate you and Jason for a well organized session. I would like to have another surf lesson with Jason. Thanks again and looking forward to the next lesson!

Matt Najhoo, Miami Beach, FL

Hi Geoff - I had a terrific time surfing in Florida. Jason is a very nice guy, clean cut, and I was impressed by his expertise and his professionalism. He is also very easygoing, like me, and we got on well together immediately. You have a very good team. Take care and say hello to everybody from me.

Gabriele Lazzeretti, Florence, Itlay,

What a terrific day of surfing we had with Javier! He is a real asset to your surf school. Javier mentioned that you may be having a surf camp? If so count my two daughters in. Once again thank you!

Adriana Escobar, Coral Springs, FL

Thanks Geoff! The surf clinic was great, and Jason is an excellent instructor. I picked his brain when we were out in the water and learned a lot about the anatomy of waves, and how to read them. Thanks again for everything!

Heather Devaliant, Gainsville, FL

Hello - I had a good time with Jason. It was cool! Thanks!

AJ Werner, Cincinnati, OH

Hi Geoff - I just wanted to write and thank you for one of the best surf sessions I've ever had! It was my first time surfing up coast, and my first time with a "coach" (gosh, I was so nervous!), but everything went perfectly and I'm so glad I had this opportunity to improve my surfing skills. Marc was really patient and did a great job explaining the particulars to me. His advice is the exact charge I need to keep me surfing every single weekend during these winter months ahead. Whenever anyone asks how they can learn how to surf (and lots of my non-surfer friends do) - I'll be your best promoter : )

Laura Guptill, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

We had a great time and hopefully we can get together in the future, after I have improved my skills and maybe you can teach me lessons for advanced surfers!

Wolfgang Feseth, Vienna, Austria,

Thank you Geoff!! I had a wonderful time. I really enjoy the sport. Marc was a great teacher. Thank you again.

Stacy Philpott, Miami Shores, FL

Thanks for the lesson and the pics, it was good times!

Constance Au, Vancouver, Canada,

Hey Geoff! I did have a great time and thank you for the lesson and the pictures! I recommended you to a friend who's coming down in December!

Laura Prince, Oceanside, NY

Geoff, thanks, i had a great time with the lesson. Jason was a big help. I'm looking forward to doing it again!

Dennis Dool, Philadelphia, PA

Geoffrey - It was great surfing with Jason. I learned a lot and Jason is a great teacher. I have 9 months to get ready for my trip to Hawaii. So I’ll be Surfing as much as I can.

David Harshfield, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Geoff, Sally and myself had such an excellent time. Needless to say we are both hooked and are planning to going surfing over the summer. Enjoy the holidays and send our wishes to Jason and congratulations on your marriage!

Lorelei Guttman, New York, NY

Thank you very much. We really enjoyed the lesson. Jason was great.

Sheila Beauchesne, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Hi Geoff, I had a good time at my surfing lesson. I went surfing today again to Deerfield. It was kind of choppy and I managed to stand a couple of times. Thanks again!

Guillermo Del Solar, Miami, FL

Yes, I had a great time at my surfing lesson with Jason. It "made my day" and really added a highlight to my vacation in FL. He contacted me the day before as planned, and was right on time for our meeting. I'm finding the magazine and surfing manual he gave me to be very informative. Jason had some good tips and was very patient and even stayed out with me for over half an hour extra, which I really appreciated. I think that for me, learning to surf is a journey I can enjoy as much as the destination. Thanks to you guys again!

Dave Hoyt, Wilton, CT

Wow is all I can say! The instructor Franck you put me with is an absolute doll and you should know that he is an amazing surf instructor. The waves Franck took me too were perfect, and I stood up!!! Next time I come back to Florida I will certainly have to schedule another surfing lesson.

Arianna Cassani, Boston, MA

Thanks Geoff! I had a great time too! I really appreciate your patience with me - you made the lesson very enjoyable and stress free. The manual is really good and I'm sure I'll refer back to it many times while learning. I have a couple of customers who sell wet and dry suits and I already talked to them about getting a suit so I can keep practicing off the Oregon coast. I hope you enjoyed the Surf show. Thanks again for everything!

Lee Tenneboe, Edmonds, WA

Thanks Geoff, I had a really great time. I just bought a book about surfing the great lakes, and am considering buying a wetsuit that even the cold waters of Lake Michigan can't penetrate. Brrrr! Thanks again, I hope to be in Florida to take another lesson in the future.

Ron Hastings, Chicago, IL

I had a great time and Jason was absolutely fantastic. He was a wealth of information about surfing. Great suggestions about continuing it and he was teaching me at a different level than the lesson I had taken from another surf school on the previous Saturday. I've been considering moving to Long Beach up here in New York (on Long Island) because I'd love to be that close to the ocean and be able to get out there every day. It gets a little hard when you live in Manhattan. Hope this finds you well and the business growing. Your segment on the site about the local news is great. Looks like great exposure. Bravo on a job well done!

Victor Coppola, Manhattan, NY

Hey there Geoff! Thank you again for taking the time to teach me to surf on Friday. More importantly thank you for being such a WONDERFUL guy and bringing an extra board on Saturday! I'll have to come back! I'll probably contact you soon for a board or recos on where to go to practice. Thanks again!

Sarah Chang, Philadelphia, PA

Geoff - Jessica is stoked!!! It looks as if I will be making trips to the beach even when the waves are small. You guys have a great system and more importantly a very thorough one. A surfer's dream come true. My girlfriend wants to surf all the time! Please extend my thanks to Jason.

Sean Marvil, Washington, DC

Geoffrey - You have opened my eyes to a new sport, which I feel I have just become addicted too. All I talk about now is when i am going to surf again. My stomach and legs are still bright red, but its something to show off :-). Thank You!

Josh Lichtman, Boca Raton, FL

Hi Geoffrey - Thanks so much for the picture and we all had a great time! Thanks again!

Katharina Allison, Miami Beach, FL

THANK YOU !! Ashley had a great day! Thanks for the great picture!

Allison Edge, Lake Worth, FL

Hi Geoff - The girls had a great time at the Surf Clinic and I expect they will continue to get more involved in surfing. Thanks again!

Becky Tomaselli, Longwood, FL

Thanks for the great lesson; it greatly shortened the learning curve. I'm a surfer for life now!!

Bryan Dietrich, Pembroke Pines, FL

Hi Geoff - Paul had a great time and felt very comfortable with you. Thanks again!!!

Donna Drake, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Hey it's Wendy. I just received your e-mail today and I thank you for the pictures! Thanks again for the surf lesson it was a great time!

Wendy Guzman, Boca Raton, FL

I just wanted to tell you guys what a great time we had and how much we enjoyed meeting you. You all did a great job - teaching and making us feel comfortable. I want to keep the girls involved in surfing and will contact you on when we'll be back. Thanks again.

Judith Taraszka, Largo, FL

Hi Geoff, Thanks so much for the pictures! It really was a great time, thanks again!

Jennifer Bohbot, New York, NY

Hello, I had a great time. I can't wait to do it again. Thanks!

Courtney Vinson, Tampa, FL

Max and I had a great time yesterday. Anyway, we're definitely going to want to organize another lesson. I'll be in touch to see when we'll be able to set something up. Thanks again and also thanks for the pictures.

Alex Baillie, Miami Beach, FL

Hey Geoff, I had a great time surfing as well. Can't believe you actually had me up on my feet! I have even rounded up a new recruit to take some lessons with me. I will definitely be in touch and hope to make it to the Surf Clinic if not a lesson before then.

Heather Whiles, Jupiter, FL

We had a lot of fun with Frank. He's very nice and helpful. Thank you again for being flexible with the class dates. Very appreciated. Next time I am down there again, I will sign up for another class! Thanks again!

Hay-Jin Byun, New York, NY

Thanks Geoff! We had a great time. Will try to catch you again in December. Thanks Again!

Rupesh Dharia, Sunny Isles, FL

I just wanted to let you know that Rebecca was extremely impressed by your professionalism. I want to thank you for your patience. Anyway, she is all motivated about surfing. She even got up this morning and got the surf report. We can't wait to move to Florida and surf daily, even if it is small and choppy. Next time we are in town we will contact you. Thanks!

Miquel Rodrigez, Albuquerque, NM

Hey this is Nick and Season...just wanted to say thanks for the lessons and tips...we'll be back sometime in the near future for more. thanks a lot and we really appreciated everything.

Nick Pinciotti & Season Taylor, Ft. Myers, FL

I can tell you the kids had a great time! the two friends that came with my son both told their parents they want to do it for their birthdays.

Pat Gannon, Pinecrest, FL

Thanks for the pictures and lessons, we truly did enjoy our time out there, looking forward to surfing with you again!

Nimo Parikh, Salem, NH

Thanks so much! The lessons were awesome! I hope to get more really soon!

Sarah Torres, Miami, FL

Hi Geoff - Brittany and I both want to say a huge thank-you for the professionalism and knowledge that Jason demonstrated while teaching us how to surf. He went out of his way to make it an enjoyable experience. We can't say enough about how grateful we were that he took his own time on Sunday to come back and teach us in better conditions. We both walked away from the experience with a very positive experience. Jason was absolutely fabulous, and we will be sure to return for more lessons as well as give you excellent references for people who would like to learn to surf in Florida!

Carolyn Vandyken, Ontario, Canada,

Hi Geoff and Jason - We are all back in Germany now, and we had a good flight etc. We just want to say that we had a great time with you guys and that we enjoyed our lesson very much. Thank you both!

Julia Knie, Hillesheim, Germany,

I had a blast learning how to surf. Now that I have the fundamentals down, all I need to do is practice for the rest of the week while I'm down here and I'm sure eventually I'll get the hang of it. I'll be sure to recommend you to my friends who are down here all the time.

Kelly Fay, New York, NY

Geoff, it was a blast!! I'll definitely recommend you guys Thanks!

Chris Szablewski, Melbourne, FL

Geoffrey, My daughter & her friend had a ball learning to ride the waves. They're hooked now and being back in New England they're planning on trying out some of the colder waves of Rhode Island in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for your help!

Angela Taylor, Rocky Hill, CT

Hey Geoffrey thanks alot for the pics and for today!! and for your patience again :) I had aloooooot of fun. I'm gonna practice alot and let you know my progress. I will keep in contact.

Vanessa Bautista, Miami Beach, FL

Geoff, the girls really, really enjoyed their lesson with you last week. They had fun trying to surf the rest of the day and again the next morning. They got up a few times, but I think they could use another lesson or two. They really liked the boards you had, and for rentals they only had long or short. We'll contact you again next time we're in town.

Gail Christensen, Tampa, FL

Thanks so much for hooking me up yesterday and thank Jason for a great afternoon. Yep the waves were bigger and a lot more fun to play in. It was just what I needed. I can't wait to get out again and figure that I'm going to need to get a board.

Holly Brown, Miramar, FL

Thanks for the great time on Saturday. Sarah has not stopped talking about surfing since we saw you. We even had to go rent the movie "Blue Crush" . Sarah and I will be doing alot more surfing. Thanks again!

Debbie Blondin, Naples, FL

This is Dodge - THANK YOU I had a wonderful time and Jason was a great teacher. I might have more lessons if I come to back to Florida!

Allahsia Dalton, Laurel, MD

Hi Geoff! We all had a great time on Sunday! Thanks so much...

Christina Menendez, Miami Beach, FL

Geoffrey, My son Tyler really enjoyed the lesson with Jason. Thanks again, Jason was Great with Tyler.

Traci Sudol, Lake Worth, FL

Geoffrey, Both Sami and I had a great time and learned a lot from Jason. Sami was really impressed with him. I will send you the pictures that I took when I get them developed. Sami is definitely hooked.

Gary Hancock, Duluth, GA

Thanks for the lessons - Adam is a great teacher. Also thanks for the Pic's - after I get good, I can look back and laugh at them!

Mark Baratto, Miami Beach, FL

I had a great time Jason is a great teacher, I am glad that you put me with him since I heard he usually teaches experienced surfers. Anyways, thanx again and good luck I will give you guys some referrals for sure! Peace and Love, Christine

Christine Moffett, Miami Beach, FL

Just wanted to say thanx for the great lesson today! I had a great time, and despite the cliche, I'm hooked...I just wish there was a beach closer to DC! Anyway, I know you're probably booked solid, but, on the off chance that you have any openings for another lesson anytime before next Sat, let me know. If not, I'll just have to schedule one for me next trip to Fl. Thanks again!

Danielle Moskalenko, Washington, DC

Geoff: The girls did not stop talking about surfing for the entire ride home. We looked at the digital photos on the way back and we got some awesome ones that I will forward to you promptly. Everyone looked like a superstar. Now the girls are planning to start a surf club at their school. They will probably be contacting you for some flyers and/or promotional material. The goodies you gave them (Thank you!) were a great inspiration because they want to make up a book of their own for the club. Thanks You!

Karen Escalona, Miami Beach, FL

Geoff, I wanted to let you know what a great instructor Franck is. He was very supportive and forthcoming with his knowledge, but it was his sincerity that I enjoyed the most - you could tell surfing has affected his life and that was what I was looking for. I hope your feature on the t.v. show goes great - I will be sending some people your way!!

Salvador Orofino, Miami, FL

Thank you so much for the pictures! I really enjoyed my surf lesson. I appreciate everything!!! You guys have a really professional business going on down their.

Carrie Hendricks, Naples, FL

Hey!!! Thanks so much for the lessons...I had so much fun. Hopefully with any luck next year I can take some advanced lessons from you. I was telling my friend about my lessons and she was so excited about the idea that she is interested in some. She is from Texas but there is a chance that she will be in the West Palm Beach area. It isn't definite, but if she does go she definitely wants to learn. Thanks Again!!!!

Kendra Orjadak, Ashburn, VA

Thanks again, I had a blast!!! I promise to practice! Surfing is more fun than I ever thought it could be, even though the bruises don't seem to show it :) Pictures came out great too! I'll send you mine as soon as I get them developed. Thanks again!

Kerry Wilson, Orlando, FL

Hey Geoff & Jason, Thanks so much for the surf lessons...I had an awesome time!! Also, thanks for the pictures...I'm glad I have proof I actually stood up! I'll definitely be back in FL soon!!

Colleen Coffey, Arlington, VA

Thanks VERY much, Geoff -- Lindsay is really on top of the world tonight -- she had a GREAT day. Her birthday is the end of this month, and she wants a board and whatever goes with it -- Jason gave her a lot of good advice and I believe we're gonna start shopping Saturday. Thanks again for getting her off to a great start.

Bob Koch, Boca Raton, FL

Adam I just wanted to thank you for teaching me to surf today. I had a BLAST !!! And you were an awesome teacher!!! I saw some pictures of me on the sight. Thanks for posting them now I can show my dad. Maybe next time dad will come and learn to surf. Thanks again, I hope to be a life time surfer. Thanks again.

Tanner Wheaton, Tampa, FL

Hey there, thank you for a great day of surfing and fun. I had a blast, and I will definitely tell all my friends about you guys!! I have never had so much fun in one day before in my entire life! Thank you so much!!!

Samantha Donaghy, Jupiter, FL

Sara and I had a blast! Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement...it was a really fun afternoon for us. If I come across anyone wanting surf lessons (or I can coerce them into wanting their own after telling them about mine), I'll be sure to send them your way! Thanks again.

Carin Smith, Miami, FL

Thanks for checking in with us, Geoff. Josh and Rachael had a GREAT time! I could tell from their stories that Jason and Stacy were good people and very kind to both of them. As a mom, that's even more important than whether or not they learned to surf! Funny about this past week having some of the best waves of the summer. Before she left (and without my knowing), Rachael had placed a text message in my cell phone that read "The waves are great at surf camp" - maybe her youthful enthusiasm helped in some way! :) I was delighted to hear that Josh and Rachael actually got up on the board a lot...and learned to switch feet, etc. Sounded as though their rides were long enough and frequent enough to be meaningful. Kudos to you and your staff for sharing the love of surfing with our children. Thanks - and we'll hope to see you again!

Denyse Mesnik, Naples, FL

Thanks for the surf clinic and the great pictures. Keriane had a great time and loves surfing thanks to you! We hope to stay in touch and will look in future to take another class. You and your assistants are all very nice.

Linda Angress, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Thanks again for a wonderful time. The boys are still talking about it and this will be a memory that they will never forget.

Kurt Franklin, Ontario, Canada,

Hi Geoffrey, The girls thought Adam was a great and they had a wonderful time. Athena wants to go surfing more. Athena would love to meet you.

Angela Masson, Miami Beach, FL

Thank you very much I had such a good time, and such a great day. Adam was really cool and really helped me out alot. I want to be going again soon.

Jon Coffman, Miami Beach, FL

Thank You, Geoff! We had a great time. We'll be sure to send our friends your way.

Michele Sacconaghi, New York, NY

Hi Geoff :) I had a really good time...except getting completely worked over by the ocean! :). I'm actually stoked on surfing again anyway and am going to get back in the water more often now. Thanks for the jump start, that's just what I needed!

Karen Blanco, Sarasota, FL

Thanks again for a great lesson this morning. I am looking forward to the next one. Please check your schedule and let me know when you have another slot open for me. I've read the manual and found it very helpful - in fact you bring a level of professionalism to a sport that is not usually found. I'm glad I am learning to surf from you.

Ken Morris, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Just wanted to thank you for a terrific time this weekend. My girls were thrilled with your lesson and also with Jason! You gave them some wonderful memories as well as a good beginning to a new sport. Yes, they're hooked. We'll be back!

Joan Sutherland, Sarasota, FL

I had a great time. Look forward to doing it again soon. Maybe the following weekend we can do another lesson. Again big thanks!

Erick Haskell, Miami Beach, FL

Hey Geoff - We had a blast! Me and my boys can't wait to go surfing again. We are truly hooked! We are now SURFERS... and it's a great family activity. Jason's instruction was great, too. We learned a lot. It was the best way for us to get started in our new sport. But the joy I felt watching the kids getting up on the boards and riding the waves in, was... well, phenomenal! I've already told some friends they need to call and schedule some surf time with you guys. Thanks a ton.

Carlos Castellanos, West Palm Beach, FL

Thank you so much! I love your program and Marc is a great instructor I will keep on eye on this weekend i might schedule another lesson hopefully I will be sure to contact you if I do. I had a great time the waves were great and I look forward to improving my surfing once again thank you hope to see and hear from you guys soon!!!!

Janelly Prieto, Miramar, FL

Thanks so much for everything.. the girls were very pleased with their progress and all they learned.. they especially thought Marc was a great teacher, with a very nice personality.. I also enjoyed talking to him, and he was very helpful. I was very impressed with your "customer friendly" attitude, and I hope your business is a great success! I will send others your way whenever we have a chance. good luck.

Alex Sink, Thonotosassa, FL

Hi Geoff - My friend and I had a great time with Jason. We both learned a ton and had a terrific time. Also, if you could please pass along the message, we really appreciated Jason's willingness to help us out with transportation (seeing that we are, after all, poor college students!) So again, thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Elianna (Elie) Rivkin, Hoffman Estates, IL

We had a blast on Saturday! Melissa really enjoyed the lesson, although 4 hours wiped her out! I think that you and your instructors were great. I was a little leary as to what to expect from the surf clinic, but you guys sure delivered! Jason, Frank and yourself were very organized, professional and helpful. I will definitely recommend your clinic to anyone I know who is interested in learning to surf.

Lisa O'Neil, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Thanks Geoff for a terrific weekend of surf. You and your surf instructors were more then I ever expected. You guys are true professionals! Needless to say I will be back and referring friends.

Melissa Barnett, Los Angeles, CA

Thanks again Geoff for the great surf lessons. I had a wonderful time. I still can't believe I was surfing with just one lesson. Even though the guys at the surf shop said there were no waves to be found in south Florida, you managed to find the beach with waves just right for me. I can't wait to come back to Florida and surf again, and this time I'm going to bring my kids for lessons too. If you ever come out to Colorado I want you to give me a call. We can go snow boarding or mountain biking together. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Dave Rosenberg, Greenwood Village, CO

Hi Geoffrey! You guys rock! We both had a super time. Even though Johnny was far from being 100% healthy, he was still able to learn a lot and had a great time with Jason. Jason is very knowledgeable, very friendly, and was very patient. The goodie bag was SOOOOO cool. The instructional booklet is great to hold on to and review and let me just tell you that the darn green noise maker is his FAVORITE thing...lol We were in the airport at 1:45am and here I am coming out of the bathroom and I hear rrrrrrrrrrrrr...I was cracking up! Thank you so much for putting the goodie bag together. Great to talk with you and sorry we didn't get a chance to meet. Maybe next time!

Lisa Moretti, Basking Ridge, NJ

I just want to let you know how pleased we were with the lesson and particularly with Jason! He was an outstanding instructor, professional yet personable. The girls (14 yrs old) were comfortable with him and said he was very supportive and positive. It was truly a great experience. Thanks again for a great experience! There's nothing a Mom enjoys more than seeing her kids have a good time.

Debbie Sabatino, Jupiter, FL

My class had a wonderful time taking surf lessons from you and Jason. Thank you again so much! The class will not stop talking about how much fun they had, and they are asking when we can go again!!! One student went and bought a board and went surfing this past weekend. The pictures were great as well. I appreciate you taking those. I will definitely pass Florida Surf Lessons on to anyone I know. Please tell Jason that the kids said thanks and they had fun.

Kimberly Brown, Wellington, FL

I had a great time at the lesson yesterday and I really liked the pictures you sent. I am looking for a board now and I talked to Ryan Heavyside, whose dad owns Nomad, and he told me about how to attach a leash to my dad's boards, so I might just do that in the beginning and then buy a board later. Thanks for all your help.

Brittany Patterson, Boynton Beach, FL

Jason and Geoff - It's Tuesday night and I am sitting her at home staring at my new board with a grin from ear to ear. I have already made plans to get out and surf all weekend with my buddy Kevin. I am going to spend the weekend surfing and getting better at this sport. When my head was turned to this sport, I knew right away that this was something I wanted to do. I feel that from now on surfing is going to be a big part of my life. I wanted to thank you guys for playing such a huge part of making that happen. You both went out of your way for me and I am always going to remember that. From what I have learned so far you both epitomize what this sport is about and I am glad that my intro to it was with you guys. I hope that all the people who want to learn this sport get the chance to learn with guys like you. You're the best.

Brad Beckwith, Delray Beach, FL

Hi! Its Betsy from Indiana... I wanted to email you and thank you! Last Tuesday was awesome. I had the best time!!! :) I don't think I stopped smiling from the minute I woke up that morning to the time I crashed later that night! I don't know if you talked to Marc or not after the lesson, but it was great. I actually caught a few waves and rode them! I was soooooo addicted after the first time, I could have stayed out there all day long :) My new hubby didn't have as much luck as I did, but he still had lots of fun too. I already got the honeymoon/surfing pics back and I can't wait to frame a few and put them up in our house! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for helping me finally get my wish...surfing lessons! I think that I definitely got the best instructor. Make sure you let Marc know that I absolutely loved him! He is an awesome fit to your surf school and if all of your instructors are anything like Marc- well, then you have the best ever surf school! I talked surfing nonstop to my hubby the rest of the week, so needless to say he will probably kick me out of the house later this year and send me back down to surf again! Whoopiee!!! I will get ahold of you if I can come down again really soon! Please keep in touch, I'd love to hear about what's new with you guys. And even though I am currently landlocked in good ole Indiana, I am still very hungry to learn all about surfing! So, if you have any good tidbits of learning to pass on - please do! Thanks so much again. I am now happily a 'real surfer girl' and I don't have to dream of becoming one anymore...but dream of catching more waves from now on!!

Betsy Moon, Cicero, IN

We had a great time - the boys slept in the car and went to see X2 after we got home. Also next time there is good surfing from Stuart on down let us know - i want to set up another lesson.

Paul Herman, Boca Rato, FL

Hi Geoffrey - I want to thank you for taking so much of your time yesterday to answer all of my questions. I have to say I was a little apprehensive about calling - I was fully expecting an egotistical meathead to be on the line, who was not really interested in "sharing" the sport. I was really pleasantly surprised. You were incredibly knowledgeable - You did not let me feel like any one of the many questions I had were stupid questions - I think your passion for the sport really shows - but even more impressive than that is your passion to share surfing with others - your enthusiasm came right through the phone and has made me so excited about my first surfing lesson tomorrow... Owning a business in the service industry, I know it's nice to get positive feedback so I took a second to jot you this e-mail. I am looking very forward to my first lesson tomorrow with Marc - I can only hope he has the same passion for "sharing" as you do. Hope to speak with you again soon, take care.

Robert Gray, Palm Beach, FL
