Ron Jon Surf camp was so much fun the first time it's become an annual event in my daughter's summer. Each day begins at 9AM with safety discussions, sunscreen slathering, and 'how to' explanations--all important for a successful and pain-free experience. The real learning takes place on the water--just a short walk from the shop (yes, a very short walk--like... More

We highly recommend Ron Jon's surf school. Our 21 & 26 yr old children took a 2 hr surf lesson from Larry this morning. It was their first time surfing and they were very pleased with the whole experience. Both were up and surfing in minutes, Larry was very friendly and a great instructor. My husband and I took a...

We visited Ron Jons because I see the shirts everywhere in Indiana. So we had to visit. It was a great place to pick up souvenirs. Only thing really out of sight on prices were the flip flops some as high as 55$...Not sandals but flip flops... But overall a neat place to visit.

Having seen Ron Jon stickers all over the country and having known about it forever, we had to make a pilgrimage to the shop. The place is huge and contained more flip flops and tee shirts than I may have ever seen in one place at one time. The prices seemed to fairly standard for a beach area (we live... More

This day exceeded our expectations. Prior to a cruise we took our three daughters (10, 13 and 21) and our nephew (14) for a 1 hour lesson. Having taken a lesson ourselves elsewhere in the past we thought it would be fun for the kids. Ron Jon was so much better than our own past experience. The lesson started with... More

I've always wanted to try to surf but for much of my life was obese and thought I couldn't. Over the last few years I lost about 80 lb and finally was in shape enough to try. Yesterday I was in Orlando on business but had some free time. I didn't know what to do and drove over to Cocoa... More

My 10 year old son did a semi-private lesson ($65) with Mike and Nicole. It was the BEST PART OF HIS TRIP. Everything was seemless and perfect - from the check-in to the classroom instructions to the patience of both these wonderful instructors. Everyone in the group got up on the board by the end of the lesson. This outing... More

My son and I took a 2 hour lesson with Mike and I can't say enough good things about it. He was the most patient instructor I've ever seen for any sport and he didn't loose his enthusiasm throughout the entire gruelling time. He didn't give up even when my son did, and managed to talk him into "just one... More

Fantastic My grandsons, 6, 8 and 10 years took their first 2 hour lessons this week and it was an amazing and positive experience. No tears and no fears. Instructors very knowledgable and safety was stressed, The boys were surfing immediately and probably for life. Watch out Kelly Slater.
