    My 10yo son had two private lessons w Keagan and he had a great time. He was great from start to finish, making it comfortable, explaining thoroughly and cheering him on as he stood up and rode the waves but also just so encouraging and great vibes all around from the whole team. We’ll be back for sure! 🤙
