Called last minute and Marcus took time out of his private surfing to fit me in. It was an amazing experience, he's a great teacher, and even better person. Highly recommend.

Marcus was the best instructor. I had never surfed before and he had me up and surfing in no time. Some of the rides lasted up to 30 seconds. He took me to the perfect place to learn and taught me the fundamentals one step at a time. I couldn't of had a better experience while in Huntington Beach. Thanks...

Very friendly and made it a really fun experience. I learned to surf much faster than a Midwestern boy should have. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Ask for Ed.

My cousins had previously tried to teach me to surf with no success so I didn't have high expectations for being successful with this lesson. I was doing it for fun and was just looking forward to the experience of trying.
I successfully stood up five times...
