Hi Chris,
Having a child diagnosed with autism, has lead to its fair share of heartache and disappointments. Perhaps most difficult has been attempting to find after school programs and camps that have the patience to deal with these unique and wonderful kids. That is why, I can’t state strongly enough the positive and beneficial experience that my son is having at Camp Surf. To say that it exceeded our expectations would be a tremendous understatement. My son, who was initially reluctant to attend the surfing lessons, quickly became enamored with surfing and bonded immediately with the staff. The instructors all seem personally vested in the development and success of every student, while making the experience fun and enjoyable. There is no pressure for performance here, just encouragement and camaraderie. Since attending Camp Surf, I have noticed improved confidence in my son and his true desire to continue with the sport. I could not have dreamed of a better scenario. This is why I give Camp Surf my highest recommendation and thank Chris Brown the Executive Director of the Program for his dedication to helping others and instilling to his students a passion for the great sport of surfing.

CB,

Thank you so much for letting Ethan do Campsurf...It was nice for him to finally be where he is the happiest-in the water! This camp is more than just surfing, it's a sense of belonging and growing with the community. Thanks for showing us such incredible generosity.
All our love and best,

The Wards

We had our lesson last Saturday with Taylor and we had a great time. Taylor was a fantastic instructor and we learned a lot and had fun. In fact, we were so insprired that we bought some fun boards based on Taylor's recommendation and went out the next day to practice. We need a lot more practice. I'm sure we will be calling for another lesson in the near future. Thanks so much!

We had a great time surfing with Kawika. He was all about making the lesson fun and making us feel totally comfortable. My wife had a great time even though she wasn't feeling well and we're both really glad we did it. Camp Surf was also more reasonably priced than the other surf schools I had found online. Thanks again Kawika - we wanted to do something completely random (we're from Michigan) to celebrate her birthday and my graduation and you made it happen.

Kawika was the best! He shared a lot of knowledge with me, knew how to pace his lesson, and had a great personality. I am sure he understands the GCT, Guest Centered Teaching model, of PISA-RM.

Thanks so much for a great experience. Taylor and Jamie were great teachers along with all the other staff. They were so supportive, friendly & kind. The experience was even better than we had hoped for. Keep it up.

Hey CB and Tommy (and all the great instructors),

Wow, what a great way for Sean to spend his summer. He is with great surfers, great instructors and great friends. You all have made summer, surfing and friendship what it is all about. When Sean walks in the door at the end of each day and tells me about being "Barreled" with a smile that could light up the room; telling me about having lunch at the roof top (secret spot) with all the guys. You all make summer surfing so much fun; thanks for creating the next generation of surfers with such a positive experience.

Chris,

Just wanted to let you know that Kurt and Daren did a wonderful job teaching my group of 14-year old girls how to surf! They were incredibly patient and encouraging, and helped make the party a great success. Thank you for all your help in organizing the party.

Maybe we will see you next year?

Thank you Tommy and Staff...

Just wanted to let you know that my friends and I had a GREAT time today.  Gregor and Matt were super--  very knowledgeable and so eager to get us on every wave possible...they really worked it out there today.

I will be coming back for some more lessons (hopefully soon) and will be recommending your surf school!

Thanks again!

Thanks Kurt Chris!

My daughter Sabrina truly enjoyed her sufing lessons while we were in Cali on holiday... I will keep your information for the next time that we visit, as surfing lessons will now be part of our things to do everytime. Thanks again for making our vacation a even more exciting vacation with memories of a lifetime.

Hey Chris

I just wanted to let you know I had a great time surfing last week. Dave was an awesome instructor, he had me standing up on the board in no time and by the end of the lesson I was catching real waves (not just the whitewater!) By myself.
Thanks again.

Hey Tommy,
Just wanted to say thanks again for your time and patience with me today. I had a lot of fun and would really like to pick it up and surf more!! You were awesome and so chill about it all. You really made my first time surfing a great experience. I am already thinking of another lesson with you...

Hello Chris! I didn't manage to meet you in person when I was dropping off my excited campers. I have heard your name so often through the Aschers and the Viklunds. I wanted to tell you how much my kids, Mason, Caroline and John loved your camp!! The counselors were amazing and they just had the best summer experience. If it is OK, the boys would like to come tomorrow and possibly Tuesday. If there is a problem, email me back, otherwise they will be there at 10 on Monday. Thanks so much and again, looking forward to meeting you in person!

Hi Chris I wanted to say on behalf of me and my friends i would like to say a BIG Thank you to Dan and Andrew for the surfing on Sunday. Everyone had a wicked time and the two guys were a great help. I have attached a photo of the group. Many thanks

Tommy,
Just a note to say how great you were for our surfing lesson. I think Judi was overwhelmed with the strength of waves (as was I) and I realized how out of shape I am. I felt very safe with you though. Anyway, the spark is lit so I know I will both pursue more lessons with you as summer arrives. Expect to hear from us in the next few months!! Thanks again

Tommy,
Just wanted to say thank you for squeezing us in this past Friday for the lesson. All three of us had a great time and will probably try surfing again in the future. Also, thanks for the great recommendation for lunch. We all got the milkshakes at Sloopy's, and yes, you were correct; they were fantastic. You should have joined us and had one yourself! Thanks again

Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that we had an awesome time surfing. Mark was so patient and I think we gave him a few laughs for sure. I can only imagine what it's like to surf on "real waves". Y'all rock!
