Five years ago, I signed up for surf lessons with my 8 year old daughter. Our instructor was an enthusiastic young man who had us standing on the boards and cruising to shore within an hour. Of course, my daughter learned faster--kids usually do--but I got the hang of it! When our hour was over, we opted to keep going.... More

Great shop for all your beach needs, and the prices match the cheap beach shops, but better quality. More

Even if you don't surf, there is something for everyone. This is a great place to visit. Just a word of caution though....they are trying to sell time shares to vacation condos they have built! More

We really like to walk around in that mega store and browse around first to see all they have to sell. Of course everytime we get tempted in buying a few souvenirs. More

I've had surfing lessons on the East Coast and the West coast from multiple schools. Ron Jon Surf School is BY FAR the best! Their instructors are great and will teach you how to surf, not just throw you on some huge board and have you stand up in the white-water. They are great at determining your level and ability...

I highly recommend the Ron Jon surf experience to anyone looking to give surfing a try. Our two instructors, Eric and Claire, were amazing. They worked patiently with my three kids, age 5,9,and 11, and my wife and me. With in the first 5 minutes they had the kids up and surfing! By the end of two hours all three... More

I CAN SURF!!! I had never tried surfing before I took the Craig Carroll Surf Class at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, but I can now proudly say, “I can surf!” The class is held early in the morning, but it was worth getting up for. Our class was very small, only 4 of 10 who signed up actually showed, which allowed... More

This was the 2nd year we took our daughter (13) and son (11) to the surf school - as they were so thrilled the year before with the private lessons. My son wanted to try out summer camp. Unfortunately we were only in Cocoa for 3 days - however Vicki was great in getting him in on a prorate. As... More

Took the family in to browse.. ended up walking out with outfits for everyone, sandals and more! Impressive clothing selection and largest shoe/sandal selection I've ever seen. Wish we had a Ron Jon near us! They had tremendous selection of clothing for all the girls in my family at what were reasonable prices. Great place and I would highly encourage... More
