350 per child per week and still they want to make even more money on your child by making them buy lunch and everything else they can sell you. After 3 weeks my children still couldn’t surf. The instructors were more into being lazy kids themselves than teaching. It is my guess that all the other reviews are from their... More

Took the two hour surf lessons. They were great, and location is right next to the beach. Teacher was great and I was surfing in no time. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn. My wife was able to hang out on the beach and watch. As she was not interested in surfing but loved hanging out on the... More

This was a great experience for my 3 teenage nephews visiting from New Mexico. A safe way to be introduced to surfing! They were able to spend one day at surf camp and all 3 were very happy with the experience. In the past we have also used Ron Jon Surf School for individual surf lessons for college kids visiting...

Really friendly store staff and instructor. Our daughters were able to get up on the boards quite a few times. The two hour session seemed appropriate. They did try surfing by themselves later in the day and that didn't go so well so I would definitely recommend having an instructor. This surf school was reasonably priced and we flet it... More

I had Eric for an instructor, and he was super encouraging and personable... I had a really fun time and there were good beginner waves. I would definitely recommend the surf school to anyone visiting Cocoa Beach. More

They have known that surfing has been one of the things on my "bucket list", and the Ron Jon Surf School was definately the answer! I have to admit I was kinda scared when we arrived, but with my friends by my... More
