"Tommy was super accommodating and responsive on email when I wrote him on a Saturday asking if my teenage son and his friend could take lessons that next week! He found times that worked for both families and pulled it all together for us. He was super communicative, very reliable, and the two boys really loved taking surf lessons from him. A terrific experience on every level."

"I did a private lesson with Tommy and he is rad. He is a great surf instructor and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to surf. He gets you on the board riding waves right away and provides the board and wetsuit. It was my first time surfing and he kept it fun and simple. Proper surf lessons for sure."
Sarah H.
"My husband and I and our two teen sons had a fantastic experience with Tommy. None of us have been surfing before and he was amazing. He was patient and knowledgeable and nice. Both my boys were able to get up and stand many times actually kind of surfing. It was so much fun that my boys rented boards the next day to go practice what they learned. We recommend Tommy 100 percent!"
