I was experiencing a plateau in my surfing progression, I was a bit frustrated to the point where I contemplated quitting. CJ took me back to the basics and made tweaks to the fundamental surf techniques as I had apparently developed bad habits which I was completely unaware of. These changes made a huge impact on my surfing and has made surfing more enjoyable and less frustrating! > From Nick, 5 out of 5 > We have been booking lessons for my daughters with CJ for the last 3 years! My daughters were originally scared of being in the ocean but after their first lesson with CJ they were super comfortable with being out there. CJ was very thorough in his instruction and super effective in communicating with my kids. We will definitely continue to take lessons with him whenever we are in SoCal! > From Maggie, 5 out of 5 > I have definitely learned a lot through surfing with CJ. Through the lessons I have gained the ability to paddle out to the line up with more confidence. What’s great about surfing with CJ is his lessons are more than just surfing white water; he teaches you to be more confident and independent when out in the water by equipping you with the right techniques and knowledge! > From Emily, 5 out of 5 > What energized me was how easy and practical the lesson felt from the start. Cj kept things clear and hands-on, making it simple to follow. This session made me eager to continue improving and mastering the waves. If you’re thinking about learning to surf, Cj’s lessons are definitely worth trying out! 🌊 > From Sebastian, 5 out of 5 > Everyone who's trying to learn the basics for surfing CJ is the best man in the job.
