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.......

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 fabulo
