★★★★★Ruben BadanoHey! These guys are fantastic! You could tell all the kids were having fun and enjoying their lessons. The instructors were positive and very energetic. We were at the beach with them and they gave us pizza.
★★★★★Catherine D3 of my kids -- 9, 10, and 12 y.o.s -- are novices to surfing. All 3 enjoyed all the instructors during a 9 week surf lesson. One day, one of the boys began to get discouraged, but one of the teachers boosted his confidence and got him back in the water. They kids started knowing nothing about surfing and all 3 left standing on the board, and proud of their success. When it was done, they immediately asked, "Can we do it again!?" I highly recommend Makos! Cool instructors, good vibes, and solid teachers/coaches.
★★★★★Michelle PedersenBest surf camp around! Every instructor was incredible. My son cannot wait to go back.
★★★★★Michelle GravesMy daughter is 12. She had the best experience in camp! Loved all the instructors and learned to be more confident on the board.
★★★★★Elaine GereauMy 6 and 8 year old kids had the best time at Makos. They already loved the ocean but learned to be more confident. They loved the instructors and can’t wait to go back next summer.
