Both kids ended getting up on their boards and rode several waves. They really had a blast. My husband and I were allowed to ride along and they set... More

Dante even lent us money for lunch before we had a chance to make it to the ATM. There are other choices for surfing on the public beach, but Dante's is by... More

Dante and his team did a wonderful job teaching both of our daughters to surf. They were up and surfing in no time at all. The instructors were very kid friendly and professional. Safety was obviously a priority for Dante and his staff. Our girls had so much fun they went back for a second lesson during our stay. And... More
