Phil and his team have built something special at IOP, delivering consistently excellent surf instruction for all ages and skill levels. First-timers routinely get up on their boards during their very first lesson, and reviewers can't stop praising Phil's patience, encouragement, and genuine teaching ability. He takes time to explain safety and technique on shore before heading into the water, then sets students up for success with just the right amount of guidance and motivation. The surf camp program gets particularly enthusiastic praise from parents. Kids come back begging for more sessions, and families appreciate the low instructor-to-camper ratio that keeps everything safe and manageable. When conditions aren't ideal for surfing, the team pivots to beach activities like crafts, games, and tidepool exploration, always keeping things fun and engaging. Whether you're booking a single lesson or a full week of camp, expect a welcoming atmosphere where both kids and adults actually learn to surf while having a blast.
Phil did an amazing job teaching our kids to surf. He offered thorough instruction on the beach before hitting the water and then continued to help them progress and guide them while they caught so many waves. My kids said he was the best instructor they have ever had and they had a blast! Visiting Phil during our next family vaca is a highlight they are already looking forward to! Thanks Salt Marsh.
