Mikey’s the best! He’s patient, encouraging, and brings a great attitude to the learning process. He gives concrete specific feedback to improve each session. I’ve had a few surf instructors and he’s definitely one of the best! Highly recommend!

My surf lesson with Michael was amazing! He is such a patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructor. I especially appreciated how he paid attention to the small details of my technique and helped me feel much more confident on my longboard.
