    Kim and Matt are a great combination. Kim is great with the admin, makes sure you are comfortable before your lesson even starts. Matt is the instructor you want when teaching those waves. He is friendly, patient and taught each of us according to our level of knowledge. I didn't know anything at all but he got me riding waves quite quickly (very small waves) I loved that he talks through what you can improve on after each attempt. I felt really comfortable with him. He didn't rush me or make me feel like I wouldn't get it. He was very encouraging and really takes the time to help you. My sister knew more than me so he challenged her more and she really enjoyed herself. I don't know what other surf schools are like but this is the experience I would go for. Pricing wise, they are market related, but in opinion, they are better priced because they help you with the rash vest and board. Matt and I have a year long plan to make me a surfer:) #bucketlist underway

    We had such an amazing afternoon in the waves today. There's just something magical about the ocean that puts you in the best mood. We absolutely loved every minute. Communication was seamless and the lesson itself was of great value. Highly recommended.

    Book a lesson fast and convenient with super-friendly and efficient Kim via WhatsApp. Matt is a top coach: precise in teaching you the basics, and helping you to improve fast by giving immediate feedback after each wave what and how to do better, and.... always supportive and encouraging. A must-do at any age!

    Don't be fooled by paid search engine rankings: Matt is the man you want teaching you to surf. Technique is everything in surfing, and Matt is uniquely qualified to give you the solid foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment. Matt is a patient perfectionist who will help you dial in the fundamentals of your technique, not just some cheerleader who will tell you how great you are doing as you fail and flail. Matt has a deep knowledge of surfing, and will impart an incredible amount of that knowledge in even a single lesson. And Kim not only handled all the communications thoroughly and professionally, but helped me out with my visit to Durban and my travels beyond, well past any obligation to a customer. Great people. Great school. Great experience.
