"Joel, Thanks for a fantastic day, as natives of Birmingham, England you had us riding waves straight from the start, unbelievable. We loved every minute. Joel broke off the lesson and came back when the waves were better with no pressure, hard sell or extra cost. Thank you so very much."
Tim, Molly Alice
"Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed surfing with you last Wednesday. I was the 40 year old from Denmark with a friend (George) who was busting my balls about how many mistakes I made. You are a great teacher and your enthusiasm is very catching. I will spread good vibes, karma and referrals about you for the rest of my life. Thank you !!"

"Yesterday was my birthday, so my girlfriend took me down to Dana point and we surfed together. I only caught a few but I did it all myself and caught one I rode for at least 30 secs. Arms got sore quick but I did it!! So happy. I was doing it like you taught me. Sitting on my board, looking, then spinning around and laying down to paddle. It was a great day :) thank you for being such a rad teacher. xx"
