This was my second time surfing and I feel much more confident with the board. I went from laying to getting up into the standing position to popping up from the laying position into a standing position on the board. The second method makes for a smoother transition. He also taught me a little bit about reading the ocean and some preemptive safety measures while surfing Florida beaches. Overall great lesson. Highly recommended! Ask for Brian!!”
