Jake was a terrific instructor. Patient with this beginner and very knowledgeable. Got exactly what I wanted out of the lesson--an intro to this beautiful sport.

This was one of the top highlights of our 3 week family trip to NZ! We just happened to see the van and called the number on the side, and the next day, Greville picked the 5 of us up in town - my wife and three kids - ages 16, 14, and 12 - and took us to a great beach with clear water and waist high peeling waves to enjoy all to ourselves - only the green hillsides and sheep to see on the sides of the cove. We've all surfed some before, but this was one of our best sessions ever, because we just traded waves and were laughing and having a blast - you can't get empty lineups much back in CA. Greville brought the wetsuits and foam boards - perfect for long boarding these easy waves. He was just a super fun person - just a happy personality, clearly loved surfing and loved seeing us having so much fun. He spent most of the time with our camera taking pictures for us, and he was more than happy to do it. Then he joined us in the lineup to ride waves. If you are lucky enough to do this, it will definitely be a highlight of your trip!!

It was my second time surfing and our instructor Jake took us to a perfect beach for beginners. He explained everything really well (way better than my first lesson at home) and managed to get me standing quite a few times. His enthusiasm was very contagious and I can't wait to go surfing again. Highly recommended!
