These guys are so knowledgeable, and I had a great time! This was my first surfing experience ever, and I appreciated learning about ocean safety, reading waves, and how-to details before we ever even got in the water.
They will bring everything you need for the lesson, so all you have to do is show up with some courage and tenacity. I was worried about which time slot to choose, but Connor let me know after booking that we could be flexible if my time was flexible and he would let me know the best time to go out, which worked out great.
Cody ended up teaching my lesson, and I appreciated that Connor was able to quickly coordinate with his network when unforeseen circumstances arose.
Moonlight Beach itself is a really cool place - you could plan to hang out and swim, play beach volleyball, or soak up the Cali sun after your lesson, too!

Connor was professional, friendly and a great teacher.

Connor was the absolute best surf instructor for me and my husband’s first time! He ensured we went out at the best time for the tide and was so patient with us both, going over all the basics to make us feel comfortable by time we hit the water. Not only is he a local to the area so he knew of the best spots, his philanthropy work with veterans is also incredible and made us so honored to have this private lesson with him. We can’t wait to be back in Encinitas to do it again!

Connor’s lesson was really fun and as a first timer he did not make the information overwhelming . I appreciated his style of giving you the basics and then adding helpful tips along the way. He was thoughtful in suggesting an alternative time and beach that would have more conducive waves for a beginner. I had a great time and would highly recommend this awesome experience.
