What students say...

"Jeff was really kind. Someone who is very patient and chill is nice to have as a surfer instructor. He didn’t push me past my comfort level, but let me explore. I don’t have much experience surfing and he didn’t try to bombard me with too much information.

That lesson with Jeff really hit the mark for me. I appreciated how he broke down the fundamentals without overwhelming and kept things natural. Still, I think it would be helpful if he provided a bit more guidance on specific movements for next time, though I feel more confident about catching waves now. If you're into steady lessons that really focus on building your skills, definitely give Jeff a try.

Glad to hear Rebecca had a great time during her lesson. It’s nice when things click and she felt like she learned something useful. Alayna’s approach really helps build confidence in surfing. We are visiting San Diego so unfortunately no other lessons planned but will definitely have another lesson with Alayna when we are back. My daughter really liked her.

If you’re thinking about trying surfing, her lessons are definitely worth it. The fun and energy make learning to surf a great experience for anyone ready to catch some waves.

Had an awesome surf lesson with Alayna! She was super kind, easy to talk to, and gave really clear, helpful feedback. We worked on my pop-up and takeoff, and I felt things start to click in the water. Left feeling way more confident and stoked to keep progressing, definitely booking more sessions!

Nice start with Alayna, and I felt the land-to-water planning really helped me stand up with more confidence. The lesson highlight about strategies and clear explanations clicked, and I’m excited to keep practicing what I learned, showing steady progress as I ride more waves, honestly.

That lesson helped me get waves more consistently, though I still need to work on paddling better. Jeff's guidance was steady and practical, and I appreciate his focus on core techniques. If you're looking to improve your overall surfing flow, definitely give him a try.
