Safety was an issue. I got pounded against the rocks pretty badly and ended up with a big bruise and some scratches but it could have ended much worse. The instructor and his assistant weren’t always paying attention or telling us where to swim back out. They also spent virtually no time covering safety before we went on the water. The assistant, in particular, spent all of his time with one young guy who was the best in our group and paid little attention to anyone or anything else. After I got myself off the rocks and rejoined the group, the assistant openly scolded me in front of others, instead of checking whether I had a concussion or needed help.
The vibe was also off. Throughout the entire experience, we were treated like tourist dingbats, the assistant kept mispronouncing my name and visibly didn’t listen half the time.

San Franciso trip was so unexpected, yet so needed. I knew i will surf in pacific and booked lesson with Adventure out. In full honesty it his was my best surf lesson ever( had some experience in Bali, Normandie and Madeira) but nothing compared to the lesson with instructor Gerry! I learned how to allow myself to surrender to imperfection and feel the ocean, water and the surfboard. Gerry’s patience, life wisdom, advice gave the tools to immerse in your he ocean and be! Thank you for this wonderful experience!
