★★★★★Rocky FavoritoMy 7 y/o son participated in two weeks of Sweetwater Surf Camp 🏄♂️. He had limited swimming skills when he arrived and they had him up on the boards in no time. Justin and his team are phenomenal! They made my son feel like family. He’s begging for another week. I can’t recommend Sweetwater Surf School enough. Highlight of our summer.
★★★★★Sydney VerrettJustin is a fantastic surf instructor! We had so much fun. The photographer was great. Thank you again Justin! Can’t wait to get out again.
★★★★★Nikkia MeyerExcellent experience for my timid and shy 8 year old! The instructors and team made him feel extremely comfortable and secure. He absolutely flourished and impressed me with his ability to glide in on the waves! I am so looking forward to next summer! This camp was affordable and surpassed my expectations! Thanks Sweetwater Surg School for taking care of my son and teaching him to surf!!
★★★★★Ashley MoodyAll three of my girls (twins age 11 and big sis age 14) loved their experience surfing with The Sweetwater Surf School. This was their second summer to participate in the school and they were so excited to have some of their same instructors this summer. All of the instructors were amazing! Nothing but fun stories and a love of surfing each and every day after lessons! Can’t recommend Sweetwater enough! We will look forward to surfing with you all next summer :)
★★★★★Stephanie Calderon (SOW)We had an amazing time. 2 50 year old gals, a 21, 11 and 9 year old. The group lesson was great! Justin, Tristan, and Austin were so patient and fun. We laughed and enjoyed our time. We will definately be going back! One of our best family memories ever!!
