“I am new to surfing and learning with Jonni and the crew has been a really good experience. From the start, I felt comfortable and safe in the water. They’re attentive and genuinely focus on each individual, not just the group. Jonni is encouraging and gives clear, practical feedback that helps you improve. I started on a foam board and have now moved on to a hard board—still a lot to learn. Would recommend for anyone looking for a supportive and well-guided learning experience.”
