Testimonials
“So this summer I was fortunate enough to try 3 different surf schools. In doing so I realized it’s one thing to be skilled at surfing but its a completely different animal to be able to explain and coach someone how to surf. Although each school was friendly and staffed with amazing people, the team at LDSS was far superior at transferring their knowledge and explaining the why behind things. This really helped create a totally stress free environment because by taking the time to breakdown the basics into small chunks and explain everything it was easy to understand. They also had the best equipment. If you’re like me, you might feel slightly intimidated to get out there but I promise you from the very start they make it safe, fun and respectful of whatever speed you want to learn at. ”
“Cruz and I want to let you know how much we loved Surf Camp/Lessons. This program allowed Cruz to really thrive in surfing and safety. He is learning the right way which has given him confidence. He loves all of the instructors and I can say, this has been the best program we have found for Cruz - his confidence is building and he found a passion. We will look forward to more camps, fall lessons, etc. You guys have been amazing. ”
“I am delighted to share my experience with the Lucky Dog Surf School! I was lucky enough to have Billy as my instructor. What a phenomenal teacher and great person. Billy had me up and catching waves in my first session which shot through me like lightening. I am hooked on surfing for life — what there is left of it– I am 61 and just starting out (can a grom be 61? - YUP)
When I signed up for the three lesson package I expected to have the basics down at the end – how to pop up, how to paddle, surf etiquette, etc. and I was not disappointed. What I did not expect was to have an instructor with so much knowledge about the ocean and her creatures. Billy shared so much about how the waves and coasts work and change together and helped me see and feel the rhythm of the ocean and the importance of total respect for it.
My board knowledge was also vastly improved. I am looking forward to expanding my quiver as I progress. I plan on booking more sessions to help accelerate my abilities but Billy and Lucky Dog have already achieved a major goal for me – I AM A SURFER!”
