Families absolutely rave about the surf lessons and camps here, with kids begging to come back day after day during their vacations. The instructors, including Matt, Frankie, Mini, and Ethan, consistently get praised for being funny, encouraging, and genuinely great with children of all ages. Parents appreciate that the teaching goes beyond just technique—instructors create a positive, confidence-building environment while still pushing students to catch that next wave. Many families return summer after summer, making it a vacation tradition. The shop itself has a loyal following, with some customers coming for years or even generations. People love the cool vibe of the old building, the well-stocked inventory across multiple locations, and the strong sense of community. Ron, Matt, Barry, and the crew get mentioned by name, suggesting real relationships form here. One reviewer noted the lesson was disappointing with minimal feedback and an abrupt ending, though this seems to be an isolated experience given the overwhelming praise from other families. The combination of skilled instruction, reasonable pricing, and that welcoming surf culture keeps people coming back year after year.
My kids had the best experience with the 7th St Surf Group lessons that they came back daily for the week . Matt and team were great with the kids and they got better each day.
