“Glad to hear Rebecca had a great time during her lesson. It’s nice when things click and she felt like she learned something useful. Alayna’s approach really helps build confidence in surfing. We are visiting San Diego so unfortunately no other lessons planned but will definitely have another lesson with Alayna when we are back. My daughter really liked her.”

Even with a last minute booking, Alayna brought a lot of excitement and helpful knowledge to the lesson. I loved every second of it, even the wipeouts! If you’re thinking about trying surfing, her lessons are definitely worth it. The fun and energy make learning to surf a great experience for anyone ready to catch some waves.

Alayna gave me the confidence I needed. I have not surfed in years and even though the waves were the larger than I have surfed before, Alayna called out which one’s were surfable for my skill level and rode the longest wave I have ever had. Thanks Alayna. I’ll be signing up for more lessons this week and look dorward to working with you again next summer.

Had an awesome surf lesson with Alayna! She was super kind, easy to talk to, and gave really clear, helpful feedback. We worked on my pop-up and takeoff, and I felt things start to click in the water. Left feeling way more confident and stoked to keep progressing, definitely booking more sessions!

Nice start with Alayna, and I felt the land-to-water planning really helped me stand up with more confidence. The lesson highlight about strategies and clear explanations clicked, and I’m excited to keep practicing what I learned, showing steady progress as I ride more waves, honestly.
