Jo was excellent at working with my younger kid and he was surfing in no time. He loved it!

I surfed Malibu in the 60's, and have not been on a board much since. The tips Ed gave me, and the board he chose for me have made my surfing experience successful instead of frustrating! Thanks, Ed!

I just wanted to say thanks for a great week of surf camp for Jackson. He really enjoyed it and learned a lot. He seems to have the "bug" so I am sure he will continue with surfing. Thanks for all your help!
